Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is ESD protection important in laboratory footwear?
ESD footwear safely dissipates static electricity from the body to the ground, preventing sudden discharges that could damage sensitive laboratory equipment or interfere with delicate experiments.
2. Are Abeba shoes suitable for cleanroom environments?
Yes. Abeba offers a dedicated range of cleanroom-compatible footwear designed with non-shedding materials and smooth surfaces to minimize particle generation and facilitate easy decontamination.
3. Can I use my own orthopaedic insoles with Abeba shoes?
Many Abeba models are certified for use with orthopaedic insoles (DGUV 112-191), allowing you to maintain the shoe's safety rating while ensuring personalized comfort.
4. How do I choose between an occupational shoe and a safety shoe?
Occupational shoes (EN ISO 20347) provide comfort and slip resistance for general lab work, while safety shoes (EN ISO 20345) include protective toe caps for environments where there is a risk of falling objects.
