ESD occupational sandal, full-grain cowhide, two buckles, open heel, blue - Vitaform 3670-21

Two straps, open heel, blue full-grain cowhide on a white sole. This occupational sandal is the shoe for a fixed workstation with frequent changes between clean and unclean areas. It goes on and off while standing. The dissipative EVA outsole is tested to EN 61340-4-3 and keeps the person, shoe and floor path below 100 MOhm per DIN EN 61340-5-1.

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.
• White outsole. It leaves no dark scuff marks on light floors, a recurring complaint in clean areas and laboratories.
• 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

Assembly, test bay and workshop, store and goods-in inside the ESD area, service work on sensitive assemblies. A dark upper still looks presentable where dust, abrasion and constant handling are part of the day.

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.
