QO 500 ESD, TÜV-tested, by Birkenstock, normal, colors / sizes

The QO500 work shoe from BIRKENSTOCK with replaceable footbed provides secure support and relieves your feet so that you can stand, walk and run comfortably for many hours a day at work, even in a challenging environment. The QO500 presents itself as a sleek, modern sneaker with 6-hole lacing.

This ESD version was specially designed for people who work in the microelectronic field or with high frequency technology. ESD stands for Electro Static Discharge. These shoe models actively provide a permanent gentle discharge to their wearer. The antistatic elements in the sole compensate for potential electrical voltage differences between humans and the work environment by permanently "grounding" the feet and can be identified by the circular yellow emblem. Warning: The ESD range is up to 35 MOhm, so it does not have an insulating effect!

The slip-resistant and oil and gasoline resistant outsole also provides energy absorption in the heel area. The upper material is made of water-repellent smooth leather (WRU) and offers antistatic protection.

The shoe is certified according to EN ISO 20347:2012 and meets the requirements of protection class O2.

Upper material: natural leather

Our natural leather is mostly smooth leather, in some cases rolled leather. This type of leather has many special properties, such as breathability, adaptation to the shape of the foot and durability.

Inner sole: microfiber

Microfiber fabric is a skin-friendly material that is soft yet tear-resistant. Since it is free of animal components, it is used as a covering material for the footbeds of vegan items, among others.

Footbed material: Cork

Cork is a renewable resource obtained from the bark layer of the cork oak tree. The natural product is heat insulating and has very good cushioning properties.
