| ASTM F2413-05 |
| ASTM F2413-05 is the new official standard for safety footwear in the United States. It replaces the old ANSI Z41-PT99 protective footwear standard. |
|
 |
| Conductive |
| Safety footwear used in areas with highly volatile and materials. All conductive shoes must meet the highest ASTM standards for safety, but only one brand, Converse, meets the highest standards for comfort. Known for 100 years as “America’s most comfortable athletic shoe,” Converse athletic comfort technology is built into every conductive shoe Converse makes. You won’t find a more comfortable conductive shoe to work in. |
|
 |
| Composite Toe |
| A composite toe cap is made from a non-ferrous elastomeric material, which is light weight and will not conduct heat, cold, or electricity. Composite toe caps meet or exceed the ASTM F2413-05 Standard for protective footwear. |
|
 |
| DR Dual Resistor |
| Now ESD performance takes the next step with DR dual-resistor technology. It is so precise it is patented — under U.S. Patent 6,421,222. Where static control is critical, Converse’s patented Dual Resistor technology protects you two ways: 1) Tested precise resistance. Converse protection never varies; 2) A second resistor provides fail-safe backup protection. But the best part of DR technology is that it comes in a Converse shoe. That means you get all the performance, support, cushioning, and comfort of a lightweight competitive athletic shoe. Converse offers more ESD protective footwear styles for men and women than any other brand. |

 |
| Electrical Hazard |
| Safety footwear provides workers a secondary source of protection from live circuits, wires or highly charged electrical equipment. The insulating properties of such footwear are measured under dry conditions and may deteriorate in wet environments and with wear. |
|
 |
| F2 Insert |
| Soft molded dual density polyurethane insert that cushions and cradles your foot, provides additional shock absorbing polyurethane ball and heel pads and a moisture absorbing fabric covering and a TPU Heel Stabilizer. These insert are compatible with ESD and Conductive footwear. |
|
 |
| F2A Athletic Insert |
| Soft molded dual density polyurethane insert that cushions and cradles your foot, provides additional shock absorbing polyurethane ball and heel pads and a moisture absorbing fabric covering. These inserts are compatible with ESD and Conductive footwear. |
|
 |
| Flex-Met |
| An anatomically shaped flexible metatarsal guard and shock cushion permanently inserted inside the instep area of the shoe upper. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413-05 standard for Metatarsal footwear. |
|
 |
| Insulated |
| A Thinsulate insulation material is added to the lining in boots to help keep the foot warm and comfortable in colder environments. |
|
 |
| Metatarsal Guard |
| A Metatarsal Guard is an appliance added to footwear, designed to provide additional protection to the instep area. Traditionally used in areas where there is a higher risk of objects falling or rolling onto the instep of the worker’s foot. |
|
 |
| Outdoor Traction |
| The shoe incorporates a special lug design on the outsole to provide improved traction on grass-covered outdoor surfaces. |
|
 |
| Puncture Resistant |
| A patented non-metallic insole material is permanently affixed inside the shoe to retard the penetration of certain objects through the bottom of the sole of the shoe. Meets or exceeds the ASTM F2413-05 Standard for Puncture Resistance. |
|
 |
| SD |
| Footwear that allows static electricity to be dissipated from the wearer’s body into the waling surface to prevent static electricity build-up. The shoes are used in areas where the generation of static electricity could harm electrical equipment, circuit board assembly, the manufacture of computer chips or paint application processes. |
|
 |
| Security Friendly |
| 100% Non-metallic. |
|
 |
| Soft Toe |
| No protective toe cap. |
|
 |
| Slip Resistant |
| Soles designed to provide a higher level of coefficient of friction with the walking surface to improve slip resistance. |
|
 |
| Steel Toe |
| Non-corrosive toe caps used in footwear to provide protection for the toe area. Steel Toes meet or exceed the ASTM F2413-05 Standard for protective footwear. |
|
 |
| Waterproof |
| A combination of water resistant materials and construction which helps protect the foot from getting wet in environments where excess water is present. |
