ESD safety low shoe GX 485 XP S3S SR for women, cowhide, width 10 - Atlas 66400

In mixed teams, foot protection usually breaks down on the women's sizes: the last is a shrunken men's shape, the heel slips, the instep pinches. The GX 485 XP runs on the Atlas women's fit last and covers sizes 35 to 43. In protection terms it is a full S3S SR to EN ISO 20345:2022 and is declared an ESD shoe below 100 MOhm to DIN EN 61340-5-1.

What the shoe does on the shop floor

• ESD shoe to DIN EN 61340-5-1. In the person-shoe-floor system the resistance stays below 100 MOhm, so the wearer's charge drains off in a controlled way instead of discharging into a component.
• women's fit last with the narrower heel and higher instep of a true women's shape, not a scaled-down men's shoe.
• Steel toe cap to EN ISO 20345, tested for 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression.
• Metal-free XP penetration-resistant insert made from aramid fabric. It covers the full sole area, weighs less than a steel midsole and leaves the foot its natural torsion.
• Soft full-grain cowhide upper, breathable and dimensionally stable.
• MPU REBOUND SYSTEM in the sole. It absorbs impact energy at the heel and returns it into the roll-off, which is what counts across eight hours of standing and walking.

Areas of use

Electronics manufacturing and PCB assembly, test and measurement stations, laboratory and cleanroom preparation, plus warehousing and picking in EPA zones.

Standards and conformity

Class S3S to EN ISO 20345:2022 means, in plain words: closed heel area, antistatic build, energy absorption in the heel, water-repellent upper, cleated outsole and penetration resistance. The trailing S marks the metal-free penetration-resistant insert, tested with the 3.0 mm nail. SR stands for slip resistance on ceramic with glycerine. For the ESD workplace, DIN EN 61340-5-1 is the governing standard. It measures the person-shoe-floor system, and the value has to stay below 100 MOhm. At the lower end the shoe standard caps the resistance at 0.1 MOhm so that the shoe still insulates during work up to 230 V. The antistatic range of the shoe standard itself runs from 0.1 MOhm to 1,000 MOhm.

The shoe is personal protective equipment of category II under PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425. The model is approved for orthopaedic insoles to DGUV rule 112-191, the marking inside the shoe is what counts. The EU declaration of conformity is provided by the manufacturer ATLAS-Schuhfabrik in Dortmund.
