Manage Safety Criteria

Non Safety Toe

ASTM F2892 is the Standard Specification for Performance Requirements for Soft Toe Protective Footwear (Non-Safety / Non-Protective Toe). According to ASTM F2892, This specification covers minimum requirements for the performance of footwear to provide protection against a variety of workplace hazards other than the toe area that can potentially result in injury

Safety Toe

ASTM F2413-18 I/75 C/75 Certified 75 ft-lb impact / 2,500 lbs compression.

Electrical Hazard

Non-conductive; withstands 18,000V @ 60Hz. Electrical Hazard rated — provides secondary protection against open electrical circuits up to 600V

Conductive

Conductive (Cd) footwear dissipates static electricity much faster than SD-rated footwear and is worn in highly flammable or explosive environments, dissipating static electricity from the body, through the shoes, and into the ground. This reduces the possibility of explosives or volatile chemicals igniting from a static spark. Static dissipative and conductive footwear both conduct electricity and therefore should not be worn where electrical hazards could be present. Explosive Areas: Max resistance 0.5 MΩ.

SD10 - Static Dissipative

SD10 (1–10 megaohms): The strictest standard, allowing the fastest rate of static dissipation. Ideal for cleanrooms, wafer manufacturing, or handling highly sensitive micro-components. Precision range: 10^6 to 10^7 Ω.

SD35 - Static Dissipative

SD35 (1–35 megaohms): A tighter electrical tolerance than SD100. Required in environments with sensitive electronics, or areas handling explosives and munitions. Standard range: 10^6 to 3.5 x 10^7 Ω.

SD100 - Static Dissipative

SD100 (1–100 megaohms): The most common standard. Suitable for general manufacturing, electronics assembly, or facilities where static electricity can cause minor manufacturing problems. Broad range: 10^6 to 10^8 Ω.

Slip Resistant

High-traction outsole; meets COF standards.

Coefficient - Oil

Footwear slip-resistant enough for oil-contaminated surfaces should have a coefficient of friction (COF) of at least 0.40 to 0.50

Metatarsal Guard

Upper foot protection against 75 ft-lb impact.

Puncture Resistant

Midsole plate resists 270 lbs of force. Midsole protection against puncture from sharp objects — meets ASTM F2413 PR requirements

Heat Insulation

Internal temp rise < 71.6°F on 302°F surface.

Cold Insulation

Internal temp drop < 18°F in 1.4°F environment.

Heat Resistant Outsole

Outsole resists melting/cracking at 572°F.

Alcoa Dip Rated

The ALCOA cup test is a standard, accelerated laboratory method used to evaluate the resistance of refractory materials to corrosion and penetration by molten aluminum. It involves creating a refractory cup, filling it with aluminum at 1700∘ F (927∘ C), and holding it for 72 hours to simulate furnace conditions and analyze degradation

Ankle Protection

Internal/External padding; resists malleolus impact.

Slip-On Shoe

Slip-on standard shoe height; No laces

Low-Cut Shoe

Standard shoe height; below the ankle bone.

Mid-Cut Boot

4" to 5" height; sits at or slightly above ankle.

6-Inch Boot

A 6-inch work boot designed for ankle protection is commonly referred to as an ankle-high work boot, 6-inch tactical boot, or a mid-cut boot. These boots are designed to provide stability against rolling or twisting

8-Inch Boot

A 8-inch work boot designed for ankle protection is commonly referred to as an ankle-high work boot, 8-inch tactical boot, or a mid-cut boot. These boots are designed to provide stability against rolling or twisting

10-Inch Boot

Tall boot; 10" or higher (Wellington, Pull-on or Logger).

Water Resistant

Hydrophobic upper materials; resists penetration.

Waterproof

Waterproof

Chemical Resistant

Materials resistant to a broad range of industrial chemicals and solvents
