ESD safety low shoe uvex 1 sport S1, width 11, metal free toe cap, black - uvex 6598/8

A safety shoe is only worn consistently when it does not feel like one. The uvex 1 sport therefore uses a textile upper and a metal free plastic cap, yet remains a fully tested S1 shoe to EN ISO 20345:2022. For the ESD protected area one thing counts above all, the person, shoe and floor resistance stays below 100 MOhm under DIN EN 61340-5-1, so the wearer's charge never reaches a component.

What sets this model apart

• The shoe drains the wearer's electrostatic charge through footbed and sole into the floor. The governing standard is DIN EN 61340-5-1 for the ESD protected area. It assesses the chain of person, shoe and floor, and the resistance of that chain stays below 100 MOhm. Antistatic construction to EN ISO 20345 alone does not achieve this, it only covers the wide band from 10 to the power of 5 up to 10 to the power of 9 ohms and is no proof of ESD suitability. uvex states a discharge resistance of less than 100 megohm for its safety shoes.
• Safety class S1 means in plain words a closed heel area, antistatic construction and an energy absorbing heel region. For dry shop and production floors that is the right level, without the added weight of a penetration resistant midsole. The toe cap meets the basic requirement of EN ISO 20345 and withstands 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression.
• The uvex xenova® toe cap is made of plastic. The shoe therefore stays metal free, weighs less than a steel capped model, forms no cold bridge and does not trigger at a metal detector gate.
• The outsole is built from two density polyurethane. The soft intermediate layer takes the impact energy, the hard outer layer takes the abrasion. The result is a light construction that stays springy across the whole shift instead of wearing through after two months.
• The upper is built seamless, dust tongue and collar are softly padded. Without inner seams there are no pressure points at instep and ankle, and dust finds no way into the shoe. The Distance-Mesh lining and the textile upper keep the foot climate dry on the uvex climazone principle.
• The uvex 1 sport climate comfort footbed is replaceable and antistatic, it carries moisture away and cushions under heel and forefoot.
• The model is released for orthopaedic modifications and uvex medicare insoles. Anyone with individual employees needing insole provision does not have to source a second series for them.
• The sole is fuel oil resistant to FO and tested slip resistant to SR. Oil and petrol on the shop floor do not attack the material.

Applications

Assembly and component placement in electronics production, test and measuring stations, laboratory, order picking and goods receipt inside the EPA, maintenance and workshop. Without a penetration resistant midsole the shoe does not belong on building sites or in areas where nails, chips and splinters are expected underfoot. Specify a class S1P or S3 model there.
