ESD safety shoe RIDER GREY LOW S1PS, mesh and microfibre, metal-free, grey - PUMA Safety 643260800

In air conditioned production halls the most common comfort complaint is heat building up inside the shoe. The RIDER GREY LOW therefore works with a breathable sandwich mesh reinforced with hard-wearing microfibre at the loaded points, plus the BreathActive functional lining. Protection is entirely metal-free: fibreglass toe cap, FAP®lite penetration insert and TPU elements at toe and heel.

Inside an ESD protected area the complete discharge path is what counts. DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires the resistance from the person through the shoe to the floor to stay below 100 MOhm under the measuring method of that standard. Only then does the charge built up while walking drain away in a controlled way before anyone picks up an assembly. The antistatic construction to EN ISO 20345 covers no more than the range from 100 kOhm to 1 GOhm and is not in itself proof of ESD suitability. The RIDER GREY LOW is explicitly listed as ESD compliant in the supplier data sheet and is therefore intended for the EPA.

What sets this model apart

• Safety class S1PS under the 2022 edition of EN ISO 20345. S1 covers the closed heel area, antistatic construction and energy absorbing heel, while the PS suffix denotes a non-metallic penetration resistant insert tested with a 3.0 mm test nail. The finer nail is the tougher requirement compared with the 4.5 mm used for the P and PL variants.
• Fibreglass toe cap, tested to EN ISO 20345 at 200 joules impact energy and 15 kN compression. It weighs less than steel, conducts no cold and keeps metal away from sensitive assemblies.
• FAP®lite penetration insert, metal-free and flexible. It covers more of the sole area than a steel midsole and puts less weight on the foot.
• URBAN rubber outsole with idCELL and a reinforced rotation point, heat resistant to 300 °C contact heat and oil resistant. The reinforced pivot at the inner midfoot cuts the friction of turning and with it the fatigue.
• Breathable sandwich mesh with microfibre, BreathActive functional lining and the evercushion® CUSTOM FIT MID footbed. Available in EU sizes 36 to 47, so one model covers the whole workforce.

Applications

Electronics production and test areas, final assembly, clean areas, order picking and dispatch inside the EPA, workshops with metal detection. For wet floors specify an S3 model instead.
