Safety Footwear Guide
- Electrical Hazard Footwear (EH)
- EH footwear provides a source of protection to the wearer from electrical shock in environments where the wearer may accidentally step on a live wire or charged electrical equipment. EH footwear should not be worn in environments where the wearer will intentionally come into contact with a live electrical circuit.
- Static Dissipative Footwear (SD)
- SD footwear allows static electricity to transfer from the wearer to the walking surface, thereby protecting equipment such as sensitive electronic devices from static electric discharge which could damage the equipment.
- ASTM F2413
- The official standard for safety toe protective footwear in the United States.
- Composite Toe
- A non-metallic rigid polymer protective toe cap, which is light weight and will not conduct heat, cold or electricity. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413 standard for protective footwear.
- Steel Toe
- Non-corrosive toe caps used in footwear to provide protection for the toe area. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413 standard for protective footwear.
- XTR® Brand Composite Toe Cap
- The XTR® Brand composite toe cap provides extra toe room and comfort; is lightweight, strong as steel and will not conduct heat, cold or electricity. The XTR® Brand composite toe cap meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413 standard for protective footwear.
- Metatarsal Guard
- A reinforced layer in the metatarsal portion of the footwear that protects the metatarsal bones by deflecting falling objects and absorbing impact energy. Traditionally used in areas where there is a higher risk of objects falling or rolling onto the metatarsal area of the worker’s foot. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413 standard for metatarsal protective footwear.
- Slip Resistant
- Soles designed to provide a high coefficient of friction with the walking surface to improve slip resistance. Meets F2413 Standard.
- Metal Free
- Footwear that contains zero metal. 100% metal free. It is ideal for jobs that require working around sensitive metal detectors.
- Foot Force® F2A Athletic Insole
- A soft molded dual density polyurethane removable insole that cushions and cradles your foot, provides additional shock absorbing polyurethane ball and heel pads and a moisture absorbing fabric covering.
