What are ESD clogs?

ESD clogs are footwear designed to prevent static electricity build-up, protecting sensitive environments.

Why are ESD clogs important?

They are crucial in preventing static discharge that can damage electronic components and cause safety hazards.

Where can ESD clogs be used?

They are commonly used in electronics manufacturing, labs, and any environment where static control is necessary.

How do ESD clogs work?

ESD clogs dissipate static electricity through conductive materials, preventing build-up and discharge.

What materials are used in ESD clogs?

They are usually made from conductive materials that allow static electricity to flow safely to the ground.

Are ESD clogs comfortable?

Yes, ESD clogs are designed to provide comfort for long hours of wear in work environments.

Can ESD clogs be used outdoors?

While primarily designed for indoor use, some ESD clogs are suitable for outdoor environments.

ESD Shoes

ESD clogs deliver a verified footwear-to-ground resistance of 10⁵ Ω to 10⁸ Ω per IEC 61340-5-1, dissipating electrostatic charges before they can damage sensitive components. Unlike standard occupational footwear, certified ESD clogs carry a system resistance < 3.5 × 10⁷ Ω when measured in a complete EPA circuit, ensuring reliable person-to-ground dissipation across vinyl, ESD mat, and raised-floor surfaces. The open-back clog design provides rapid donning in cleanroom gowning areas and semiconductor production environments while maintaining EN ISO 20347 occupational footwear compliance.

Our catalogue lists 56 ESD clog models from leading certified manufacturers, covering sizes EU 35 through EU 48, antistatic and fully dissipative classes, and variants approved to IEC 61340-5-1, EN ISO 20347:2022, and ANSI/ESD S20.20. Whether you need lightweight polypropylene clogs for short-duration assembly work or autoclavable cleanroom versions for ISO Class 5 environments, the range addresses every ESD footwear specification.
