Overshoes and overboots for the cleanroom – some with ESD protection
Overshoes (overshoes) and overboots (overboots) for the cleanroom are available in different materials, thicknesses and heights and with different types of soles. Overshoes/overboots are available as disposable or reusable shoes – some even offer ESD protection.
In the online store of specialist wholesaler abovo, you will find a large selection of overshoes and overboots for cleanrooms to buy.
Overshoes
Overshoes – also known as overshoes – are used in cleanrooms to minimize the entry of particles. So-called hygienic disposable overshoes – also known as disposable overshoes – for cleanrooms are used in the food industry, in building cleaning or in the medical sector, for example, but of course also in cleanrooms in a wide range of industries.
If overshoes are provided for people who are not cleanroom employees, such as fitters, they are also referred to as visitor shoes.
The great advantage of overshoes is that you can simply pull them over your shoes (work shoes or street shoes) to minimize contamination of the rooms you enter.
Overshoes for cleanrooms must have the following properties, among others, depending on the application:
- Cleanroom packaging
- Low particle emission of the shoe material
- Particle retention capacity
- Barrier properties
- Tear resistance
- Resilience
- slip-resistant outsole
- Sterility
- ESD protection (ESD overshoes)
- Documentation
- Model specifications
- Technical data sheet
- Sterility certificate, irradiation certificate
- PPE guidelines
There are also overshoes for areas that are ESD-sensitive. These ESD overshoes therefore have an ESD protective function, for example by having an ESD strap fitted to dissipate static charges.

There are even cleanroom coveralls to which overshoes are already attached, such as the sterile “Tyvek IsoClean Sterile IC105 coverall” or the “Tyvek Coverall 600 Plus with socks“.
