ESD clog TOKIO natural leather white, regular width, cork-latex footbed - Birkenstock 61410

In semiconductor and PCB assembly a worker covers several kilometres a day inside the EPA, and every one of those steps builds up charge. The TOKIO ESD drains that charge to the floor through the cork-latex footbed, the leather insole cover and the EVA outsole, so the person-shoe-floor system stays under the 100 MOhm resistance required by DIN EN 61340-5-1. It is also a clog you wear for a full shift: 891 g in size 44 and a footbed that spreads the load across the whole sole. The regular width covers the average foot girth and runs up to size 48, so it also fits large feet.

What the shoe delivers

• Dissipative in every layer. Footbed, insole cover and outsole are made in an ESD version and tested to DIN EN 61340. Inside an EPA to DIN EN 61340-5-1 what counts is the resistance of the person-shoe-floor system, and it has to stay below 100 MOhm. In practice: no component damage from a discharge on the way from the bench to the machine.
• Anatomical cork-latex footbed. A deep heel cup, longitudinal and transverse arch supports and a toe grip spread body weight over the entire surface instead of loading heel and ball. That is the argument for anyone who works standing up.
• A defined regular width, not a compromise size. The model is built on one clearly defined last and is available in EU sizes 39 to 48. Pick the right width and you do not have to bend the length.
• 891 g in size 44. The cushioning EVA outsole absorbs the impact on screed and industrial flooring while keeping the shoe light.
• Leather that breathes. Smooth leather upper, suede leather insole cover. The open-pored surface takes up moisture and keeps the foot climate dry even during physical work.
• Adjustable heel strap. The TOKIO holds the foot at the back as well, which keeps it secure on stairs, on ladders and when you move fast. Strap and instep band run on individually adjustable metal pin buckles.

Technical data

Applications

• Electronics production, SMT lines and rework benches inside the EPA
• Semiconductor industry and assembly testing
• Assembly work in medical and measurement technology
• Test labs, quality assurance and ESD stores with order picking
• Indoor areas with dissipative flooring where people stand all day

Standards and conformity

ESD protection is tested to DIN EN 61340 according to the manufacturer. The standard that governs the workplace is DIN EN 61340-5-1, which requires the person-shoe-floor system to stay below 100 MOhm. Whether that value is met always depends on the flooring and on the operator test on site, the shoe alone does not guarantee it.

This clog is occupational footwear, not safety footwear. According to the data sheet it has no toe cap and carries no protection class to EN ISO 20345. Where the workplace calls for toe protection or penetration resistance, choose a safety shoe of class S1 or higher.

Sizes

Available in EU sizes 39 to 48, all in the regular width. Sales unit is 1 pair.
