ESD

ESD stands for Electrostatic Dissipative footwear and is made by the Carolina brand as well as other manufacturers. ESD footwear absorbs and neutralizes static electricity by absorbing loose electrons and sending them into the floor and is commonly worn in environments such as computer manufacturing. The Electrostatic Dissipative shoe regulates the accumulation of electrical charge within the wearer's body and also reduces the risk of static shock to both the wearer and the computer product. ESD footwear marked with the "SD" icon meet the ASTM standards. ESD shoes are also made in a variety of styles depending on the wearer's preference and needs.
