ESD safety low shoe SL 405 XP blue 2.0 S1PS, width 10, Sportline, black/royal blue - Atlas 29900

Anyone spending eight hours on their feet in electronics manufacturing needs footwear that drains the wearer charge reliably and still stays light. ATLAS lists the SL 405 XP blue 2.0 explicitly as an ESD shoe to DIN EN 61340-5-1. The toe cap meets the EN ISO 20345 test values of 200 joules impact energy and 15 kN compression, and it is made of aluminium rather than steel.

What sets this model apart

• Charge leaves before it reaches the component. ATLAS points out that EN ISO 20345 only describes the antistatic range and contains no ESD test at all. For an EPA workstation to DIN EN 61340-5-1, a merely antistatic shoe is therefore not enough. This model is listed as an ESD shoe and guides the wearer charge through sole and dissipative floor instead of releasing it into the assembly.
• Protection class S1PS in plain words. Closed heel area, antistatic properties, energy-absorbing heel section and a fuel-resistant outsole. The P stands for penetration resistance against nails and metal debris on the floor, the trailing S for the non metallic insert being tested with the thin 3.0 mm nail under EN ISO 20345:2022 rather than only with the 4.5 mm nail. The 2012 edition called the same build S1P. Slip resistance SR to EN ISO 20345:2022 is verified on a ceramic tile with detergent. The former SRA, SRB and SRC grading was dropped with the 2022 edition, the supplier sheet still quotes SRC.
• Aluminium cap instead of steel. The anatomically shaped alu-tec cap is lighter than a steel cap and shifts the centre of gravity towards the middle of the foot, which helps prevent trips caused by imbalance. Aluminium behaves thermally neutral, so no cold bridge forms into the inside of the shoe.
• XP penetration resistance without metal. Instead of a steel midsole, ATLAS uses a high-tech textile containing aramid fibres. It is metal-free, extremely light and allows the natural torsion of the foot. The added safety therefore does not come at the cost of wearing comfort.
• MPU INNOFLEX System for cushioning. The outsole guides forces along the INNOFLEX LINE from heel to toe. The CLOUDZONE in the heel absorbs impact forces, the DYNAMIC PLATES in the forefoot return energy into the next step and the flex grooves support the roll-off. Eight hours on a shop floor make the difference noticeable.
• Width 10 is already the wide fit. ATLAS builds even the standard width 10 on a broad, foot-friendly last. Wearers who need more room stay with the same model and move to the extra widths instead of ordering a size up and losing heel hold.

The aktiv-X functional lining regulates moisture inside the shoe, does not stain and resists abrasion. Together with the breathable SportLine textile fabric and the Klima Komfort insole it forms the ATLAS clima-stream concept. The shoe is approved for orthopaedic insoles under DGUV rule 112-191, with type examinations carried out by TÜV Rheinland.

Technical data

Areas of use

Placement and soldering in electronics manufacturing, test field and repair, assembly work, goods receiving and warehouse areas inside the EPA. Penetration resistance also makes the shoe usable in workshop and maintenance areas where wire offcuts and chips end up on the floor. For permanently wet areas a waterproof S3 model is the right choice.

Standards and conformity

• EN ISO 20345:2022, protection class S1PS with slip resistance SR as stated by ATLAS. The supplier sheet differs and quotes S1P with SRC under the 2012 edition.
• ESD to DIN EN 61340-5-1, declared by ATLAS for this article.
• PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425, risk category 2.
• Orthopaedic insoles under DGUV rule 112-191, type examination by TÜV Rheinland.
