ESD Safety Shoes
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety shoes are specially engineered to dissipate static electricity from your body to the ground, helping prevent accidental static discharge in sensitive work environments. These shoes are ideal for electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and hazardous areas.

Benefits of ESD Safety Shoes
- Prevents static discharge — Safely channels static electricity away from your body to avoid damaging sensitive electronics.
- Enhances product safety — Reduces the risk of costly equipment failures, data loss, or defects in manufacturing caused by static discharge.
- Minimises fire risk — Prevents sparks that could ignite flammable substances.
ESD Safety Shoes vs. Antistatic Shoes
All ESD safety shoes are anti-static, but not all anti-static shoes are ESD-certified.Â
Anti-static shoes help reduce static electricity buildup by allowing it to slowly dissipate through the sole, into the ground. These shoes offer resistance that is low enough to prevent static build-up but not so low as to compromise protection against electric shocks. Their electrical resistance typically falls between 0.1MΩ and 1,000 MΩ.
ESD safety shoes are a specialised subcategory of anti-static footwear, designed for more sensitive environments where even small electrostatic discharges can damage components, ignite flammable substances, or interfere with precision instruments. Their electrical resistance typically falls between 0.1MΩ and 100 MΩ.
Industries That Require ESD Safety Shoes
