Can conductive shoes replace anti-static shoes in the production workshop?

As we all know, anti-static shoes are one of the necessary anti-static equipment in the production workshops and advanced laboratories of microelectronics industries such as electronic semiconductor devices, electronic computers, electronic communication equipment and integrated circuits.


Many outsiders don't know much about the similarities and differences between anti-static shoes and conductive shoes. They always think that anti-static shoes are insulated shoes, and both can be worn in the production workshop. In fact, this understanding is wrong.


Anti-static shoes are protective shoes that can eliminate the accumulation of static electricity on the human body and prevent electric shock from power supplies below 250V. The conductive shoes have good electrical conductivity, which can eliminate the accumulation of static electricity on the human body in a short time, and can only be used in anti-static protective shoes where there is no danger of electric shock.


It seems that there is a fundamental difference between the two. Conductive shoes cannot be used in place of anti-static shoes, so you should do your homework before buying and using them to see which one you need, so as not to spend money and Useless.
