Georgia Boots: Men's Athletic ESD Safety Toe Shoes G7654

The Georgia G7654 steel toe athletic hiking boot is a rugged steel toe hiker that is rated for ESD. The tumbled chocolate full grain leather upper has a moisture wicking high performance lining. The collar is paded and the footbed is removable. The polyurethane outsole is oil resistant and the rubber toe guard and rubber heel guard are also oil resistant.

To be marketed as Electric Static Dissipating Footwear, a shoe must pass testing requirements established by ANSI. SD Type I must offer electrical resistance greater than 1, but less than 100 megohms. Electro Static Discharge or ESD is the shock that is felt when a person walks across a carpet and touches a door knob and a discharge of electricity occurs between that person and the door! That shock was actually a discharge of electricity in the range of 2000 to 3000 volts as the shock voltage has to be at least 2000 volts before the human body can feel it. The reason the 2000 volt ESD discharge does not kill someone is that the current is very low but that same voltage can kill electronic components or can possibly ignite volatile chemicals or explosives. Furthermore did you know that studies have shown that a static charge built up by scuffing shoes on a carpet can exceed 20,000 volts?
