ESD occupational clog, perforated black cowhide, natural cork footbed, EVA sole - Vitaform 3413-31

The perforated version of the occupational clog, meant for warm halls, summer shifts and anyone whose feet run hot in a closed shoe after two hours. 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

• The full grain cowhide is perforated. The holes vent heat and moisture right at the instep, where the foot in a closed clog sweats first. That is the only difference from model 3412 and usually the decisive one.
• Black full grain cowhide with a white sole suits service wear and workshop areas where a white shoe looks worn out after a week.
• 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.
• 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 pin buckle sets the width across the instep and the clog goes on while standing.
• 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

Electronics manufacturing and assembly in warm halls, test and measuring stations, laboratory, storage and picking inside the EPA, summer shifts in production areas without air conditioning. For wet areas and workplaces with liquid splashes the closed model 3412 is the better choice.
