ESD safety low shoe Malocher 09 S3S SR, SportLine fabric, width 10 - Atlas 70900

The Malocher 09 is the loudest shoe in this selection and at the same time one of the best equipped. Black with neon yellow accents, underneath class S3S SR to EN ISO 20345:2022 with an alu-tec aluminium toe cap, a metal-free XP penetration-resistant insert and an MPU INNOFLEX outsole. For the ESD workplace what counts is the manufacturer's figure to DIN EN 61340-5-1: the person-shoe-floor resistance stays below 100 MOhm.

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.
• Aluminium toe cap (alu-tec), tested to EN ISO 20345 for 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression. Aluminium weighs less than steel and forms no cold bridge across the forefoot.
• 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.
• SportLine upper, an air-permeable textile fabric that keeps the shoe light and moves perspiration outwards.
• 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.
• aktiv-X functional lining, moisture regulating, abrasion resistant and colourfast. It dries quickly and keeps the foot dry across a full shift.

Areas of use

Electronics manufacturing and assembly, maintenance, warehousing and dispatch in EPA zones, and workshops where a visible shoe helps recognition on traffic routes.

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.
