ESD insoles
ESD insoles, also known as Electrostatic Discharge insoles, are specialized insoles designed to control and reduce static electricity in footwear. These insoles are commonly used in industries where electrostatic discharge can cause damage to sensitive electronic components or pose a risk to individuals working in environments with static electricity.
ESD insoles are made from materials that have conductive properties to help dissipate static electricity generated by friction between the footwear and the ground. By wearing ESD insoles, individuals can prevent the build-up of static charges and safely discharge any accumulated static electricity to the ground, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge-related incidents.

Previously, ESD threads were sewn into ESD insoles. Now, ESD agents are added into the sponge and fabric to achieve the most stable ESD effect.
In addition to providing protection against electrostatic discharge, ESD insoles also offer comfort and support like regular insoles, making them suitable for individuals who work in environments where static electricity is a concern. These insoles are often used in industries such as electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, and laboratories where static-sensitive equipment or materials are present.
Overall, ESD insoles play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and static-free work environment while ensuring the comfort and well-being of individuals working in industries where electrostatic discharge is a potential hazard.
Today, a customer inquired about the differences between electrically insulated insoles, anti-static insoles, and ESD insoles. Many people often confuse these three types when purchasing them. Therefore, today I will share with you the differences between these three types of protective insoles to help you understand them better.
Difference
1.Insulated insoles: Insulated insoles undergo insulation treatment on the soles to block the dangerous electric current passing through the body when subjected to specified AC or DC voltages. This ensures that the leakage current passing through the human body does not exceed the body’s tolerance range, protecting workers from electric shock injuries and ensuring work safety. According to the GB21148-2020 standard, electrically insulated insoles should not use metal components and fittings, and the sole should not have upper and lower stitching lines. Therefore, insulated insoles with steel toe caps, steel midsoles, and metal buckles no longer meet the requirements of the new standard.
2. Anti-Static insoles: Anti-static insoles incorporate anti-static materials into the soles, such as anti-static fabrics and conductive wire, allowing static charges on the body to be grounded through the ground’s conductive plate and grounding wire in the work area. The resistance value of anti-static safety insoles is low, ranging from 0.1 to 1000 megaohms (MΩ). These insoles can conduct static charges to the ground, preventing their accumulation in the body and avoiding instantaneous currents generated by contact with charged objects. Anti-static insoles are suitable for pharmaceutical plants, food factories, electronics factories, clean rooms, laboratories, etc.
3.ESD insoles: ESD insoles, like anti-static insoles, protect electrical equipment by grounding charges to prevent static shocks, discharges, or sparks. The difference lies in the lower resistance value of ESD insoles, ranging from 0.1 to 100 megaohms (MΩ). ESD insoles are used in various industries to prevent static discharges in sensitive equipment or devices, such as industrial equipment manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, electrical engineering, communication equipment manufacturing, medical industries, and other precision-sensitive environments.
