Notes on Amazon
Also this year Amazon is confirmed as the largest online shopping mall in the world both for the security it transmits to its buyers and for the vast choice of products it offers. Thousand of stores are offering all kinds of products and work shoes are there as well.
On Amazon is easy to find many models of safety shoes, that’s why we made a selection of the EH PR models that you might be interested in when looking for your next pair of safety boots.
The EH PR safety shoes
First of all, it’s a must to remember the most frequent safety shoe markings:
- SD
- SD PR
- EH
- EH PR
Just for your knowledge, the SD and the EH safety shoes have a basic difference that lies in the electrical isolating properties of the EH safety shoes, while the SD instead are static dissipative. So a choice has to be done at the origin, do you need EH (the most used) or SD safety shoes?
If you have selected EH, then the next question is: EH or EH PR?
In this case the choice is easy, it depends from your risk of having a perforation to the feet, if you have the risk then the choice is EH PR.
The difference between the EH and EH PR safety shoes lies in the puncture resistance of the EH PR shoes. In fact, the EH PR safety shoes have an anti-perforation plate inside them which prevents the entry of nails and sharp objects from the sole towards the foot, thus avoiding damaging your feet in the event of walking on a nail, for example. Instead the difference from SD to EH lies in the insulating properties versus the electricity of the EH outsoles, infact SD means Static Dissipative.
The EH PR safety shoes comply with the norm ASTM F2413-18 which lists all the characteristics they must have, including the safety toe cap that must resist the impacts.
What are the materials of EH PR shoes
The materials of which the EH PR safety shoes can be composed can be the most varied, for example the soles can be of single density or dual density polyurethane, or of TPU, or of rubber combined with EVA or polyurethane, while the upper which is the upper part the shoe can be made of leather, or of synthetic materials such as microfibre or more or less abrasion resistant fabrics, finally the safety toecaps can be made of steel or aluminum or composite and glass fiber which are non-magnetic. The anti-perforation plates can be made of fabric or steel.
