Birkenstock ESD shoes: Arizona ESD sandal for men and women

The shoe manufacturer Birkenstock also has various ESD shoes for professional use in its range, including the world-famous Arizona sandal in an ESD version. In this article, you can find out what ESD means, what difference the ESD slipper makes and where you can buy the Birkenstock ESD sandal in Switzerland.

Birkenstock ESD in contrast to normal Birkenstock

The Birkenstock classic Arizona is an internationally renowned two-strap sandal from the German shoe manufacturer Birkenstock. The Arizona sandal is available in many different versions, for example as a normal mule, as a bathing sandal made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or as an ESD sandal. The difference between the Birkenstock ESD shoe version and the other models without ESD properties is that the Birkenstock Arizona ESD sandal is suitable for ESD protection.

The meaning of the ESD abbreviation is: electrostatic discharge. In German, this means electrostatic discharge. The term ESD Birkenstock sandal therefore means that it is suitable for use in ESD areas by offering protection against spontaneous electrostatic discharge, which also means protection for electrostatically sensitive components.

You can find more background information on the subject of ESD in our article “ESD – Electrostatic discharge“.

All Birkenstock ESD shoes, including the Birkenstock ESD sandal Arizona, have been tested by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN 61340. They meet the requirements in the professional ESD area, namely from 1.0 x 10^5 to 3.5 x 10^7 ohms (contact resistance). As shoes that meet the ESD requirements, these sandals are also antistatic.

Features of the Birkenstock ESD sandal Arizona

The typical feature of the so-called Birkenstock sandal is that it is a very comfortable shoe that fits the sole of the foot. Birkenstock launched the Arizona model on the market in 1973. The Arizona sandal is one of the most popular Birkenstock classics. It is therefore only natural that Birkenstock also has an ESD version of this classic sandal in its range.

The Arizona ESD sandal from Birkenstock has the following features:

High level of comfort thanks to anatomically shaped footbed
Protection against electrostatic discharge thanks to integrated antistatic agent

ESD protection tested in accordance with DIN EN 61340

The ESD Arizona sandals from Birkenstock are suitable for both men and women, making them a unisex model.

Difference between mules and slippers

The Arizona ESD Birkenstock model is also known as the Arizona ESD mule. But what exactly is a mule?

Like the slipper, the mule does not have a heel, so you can simply slide your feet into the slipper. The difference between a mule and a slipper is that a mule is generally suitable for the street, while slippers are intended as slippers for the home.
