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.
Dual Resistor SD
Dual Resistor SD is a Warson Brands patented technology (US Patent 6,421,222) that precisely and reliably provides 1 to 10 megohms of electrical resistance, ensuring that the footwear meets the SD 10 standard. With two resistors embedded in the midsole of the shoe, Dual Resistor SD footwear protects equipment by dissipating static electricity to the walking surface. Dual Resistor SD also acts as a fail-safe system; should one resistor fail, the second will continue working to dissipate static electricity.
Conductive Footwear (CD)
CD footwear is designed for wear in highly volatile environments such as munitions plants, petroleum refineries, and rocket fuel production facilities where a static discharge could cause an explosion. Conductive footwear offers no electrical resistance and allows all electricity to pass from the wearer to the walking surface, thereby preventing static buildup and discharge.

The XTR® carbon toe cap is lightweight, and will not conduct heat, cold, or electricity. The XTR® carbon 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.
Flex-Met®
An anatomically shaped flexible metatarsal guard with shock cushion permanently embedded inside the instep area of the shoe upper.
Puncture Resistant
An insole material which is permanently affixed inside the shoe to prevent the penetration of certain objects through the bottom of the sole of the shoe. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413 standard for puncture resistance.
Slip Resistant
Soles designed to provide a high coefficient of friction with the walking surface to improve slip resistance.
Airport Friendly
Footwear that contains minimal metal hardware and will not activate most airport metal scanning devices.
Metal Free
Footwear that contains zero metal. 100% metal free. It is ideal for jobs that require working around sensitive metal detectors.
Insulated
Insulation material added to the lining in boots to help keep the foot warm and comfortable in colder environments.
Waterproof
A combination of water-resistant materials and construction which helps protect the foot from getting wet in environments where excess water is present.
Total Cushioning Technology™
Provides five layers (1-1/2”) of cushioning under the heel and three layers (1/2”) under the forepart - deeper, total cushioning for amazing comfort and impact protection.
Foot Force® Footbed
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.
