Footwear for professional use has protective features designed to protect the user from injuries that might occur in an accident. Professional footwear may
not be exposed to any mechanical risks (impacts or compression). Safe footwear is compliant with EN ISO 20347:2012.
USAGE RULES FOR SHOES:
• Shoes should be well fitted, when they are bought – incorrectly fitted shoes will become deformed.
• Laced shoes should be put on and taken off in the unlaced state.
• Shoes should cleaned and preserved on a daily basis.
• When wearing, shoes should not be soaking wet. When wet, dry them in room temperature. Once dried, shoes should be preserved.
• Leather shoes should not be washed, since washing deprives leather of flexibility and makes it crack and discolour.
Do not use any means allowing for faster fitting of shoes to the shape of feet. Such means may change properties of shoes and reduce the degree of
protection.
SHOES CLEANING AND PRESERVATION METHODS
Outer side of the footwear is made of textile material. When the surface gets dirty, clean it aer work with shoe brush or damp cloth without any cleaning
agents.
• Wet shoes should be dried in room temperature, away from heat sources.

Antistatic footwear
It is recommended that antistatic footwear is worn, when it is necessary to reduce the possibility of electrostatic charge occurrence by discharging
electrostatic charges to prevent ignition hazard from sparks, e.g. inflammable substances and vapours, and when the danger of electric shock is not entirely
prevented from due to electric and live devices. It is however recommended to pay attention to the fact that antistatic footwear cannot provide sufficient
protection against electric shocks, since it only introduces certain resistance between the foot and floor. If electric shock hazard in not eliminated completely,
further protection means are necessary to avoid the risk. It is recommended that such means and the following tests are part of the accident protection
program in your workplace.
According to our experience, it is recommended that electric resistance of the product ensuring desired antistatic protection in the usage period is lower than
1 000 MΩ. The lower electric resistance limit is specified on the level of 100 kΩ for the new product to ensure limited protection against electric shock or
ignition, when an electric device operating at the voltage of 250 V becomes defective. Users should however be aware that in certain conditions the footwear
may not provide sufficient protection and additional precautions should be taken to ensure safety.
Electric resistance of the footwear may vary due to bending, dirt or moisture. The footwear will not serve its intended purpose when worn in wet conditions. It
is thus necessary to strive for the footwear to serve its intended purpose to discharge charges and ensure protection throughout the entire usage period. It is
recommended for the users to schedule in-plant electric resistance tests and perform them on a regular and frequent basis.
The category I footwear may absorb moisture, when worn for long periods of time, and in moist and wet conditions it may become conductive footwear.
