ESD laboratory clog, blue cowhide with heel strap, natural cork footbed, EVA sole - Vitaform 3490-21

The laboratory clog with an adjustable heel strap, for walks across the plant, stairs and ladders where a shoe without heel hold becomes a risk. Blue with a white sole is the shop floor colour in many electronics plants and separates the production line from the white dressed laboratory at a glance. 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

• Adjustable heel strap. It folds back when the clog is worn like a slipper and comes forward the moment you head for stairs or a machine. One shoe for two ways of walking.
• The blue version hides scuffs and solder residue better than white and still reads immediately as area specific workwear.
• Two pin buckles instead of one. Instep and heel hold are set separately, which matters for a narrow foot or after a long day on your feet.
• 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.
• 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.

Technical data

Applications

Laboratory, analytics and measuring rooms, electronics production with walks between the lines, cleanroom ante areas, test fields and service. The heel strap also makes the clog suitable for stairs and short ladder climbs, which a shoe without heel hold is not intended for.
