ESD occupational clog, black full grain cowhide, natural cork footbed, dissipative EVA sole - Vitaform 3412-31

A closed clog for people who spend the shift standing and walking while handling electrostatically sensitive assemblies. Black is the easiest of the three finishes to keep. Dust, solder fume deposits and polish barely show, so the clog still looks presentable in its third year of service. The dissipative EVA sole drains the wearer's charge to the floor in a controlled way. The shoe is tested to EN 61340-4-3, the measuring method for footwear resistance. An ESD protected area under DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires the person, shoe and floor chain to stay below 100 MOhm, and that is exactly what the clog does from the first step, not only at the bench.

What this model gives you

• Footbed of natural cork with an air cushion and a suede leather cover. The cork takes the shape of the foot within a few days and supports the arch, the air cushion damps every step and the suede cover keeps the foot dry.
• Black full grain cowhide with a white sole suits service wear and workshop areas where a white shoe looks worn out after a week.
• The upper is full grain cowhide rather than coated synthetics. Leather takes up moisture and releases it outward, so the climate inside stays bearable even after eight hours on your feet, and the toe area keeps its shape over the whole service life.
• A single pin buckle sets the width across the instep. The clog goes on and off while standing, which saves time at every change between the ESD area and the break room.
• The manufacturer lists the model as breathable and joint relieving. The springy EVA sole absorbs part of the impact load that otherwise travels through knees and back.
• Occupational shoe to DIN EN ISO 20347, deliberately without a toe cap and without a penetration resistant midsole. That saves weight and height at the toe. Where falling parts, impact hazards or nails on the floor are expected, specify a safety shoe to EN ISO 20345 instead.

Applications

Placement, assembly and test stations in electronics manufacturing, laboratory and measuring rooms, order picking inside the EPA, cleanroom ante areas and workshops. The closed forefoot keeps chips, components and solder beads away from the foot, unlike an open sandal.
