ESD occupational sandal, full-grain cowhide, cork footbed, 3 cm heel, white - Vitaform 3570-10

On an assembly line every detail at foot level shows by the end of the shift. This open occupational sandal in white full-grain cowhide answers with a natural cork footbed on an air cushion and a dissipative EVA outsole. The sole is tested to EN 61340-4-3, and across the person, shoe and floor path the resistance stays below 100 MOhm, inside what DIN EN 61340-5-1 asks for. Charge drains away before it reaches an assembly.

What sets this model apart

• Dissipative EVA outsole, tested to EN 61340-4-3. On a dissipative floor the resistance of the person, shoe and floor path stays below 100 MOhm, the value DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires for an ESD workplace.
• Natural cork footbed with air cushion and suede leather cover. Within a few days the cork takes the shape of the foot and supports the arch, the suede cover absorbs moisture instead of leaving it under the sole.
• Two pin buckles, each adjustable on its own. The base width is normal, the buckles take up a high instep as readily as a flat foot.
• Open design without a heel strap. The shoe goes on and off while standing, which saves time on every change between clean and unclean areas.
• Heel height 3 cm. The slight drop takes pressure off the heel and relieves the Achilles tendon over an eight hour standing shift.
• The upper is full-grain cowhide, not split leather and not a coated substitute. It wipes clean, moves with the foot and keeps its shape for years with basic care.

Technical data

Applications

Placement and test work in electronics manufacturing, laboratory and medical technology, packing and order picking in the ESD area, gowning zones ahead of the clean room. A light upper suits areas with a light dress code and shows soiling early, which is wanted where cleanliness is monitored.

Not suitable for workplaces with impact, crushing or penetration hazards. There the risk assessment calls for a safety shoe to EN ISO 20345.

Standards and conformity

The ESD property is tested to EN 61340-4-3, the test method for the electrical resistance of footwear. As a shoe the model is certified to DIN EN ISO 20347, that is as occupational footwear without a protective toe cap. It carries no safety class from S1 to S3. Dissipation works only together with a dissipative floor, which is why DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires shoe and floor to be checked at regular intervals in service. The manufacturer is Vitaform in Laichingen, Germany.
