Heel and Toe Grounders
Heel and toe grounders are used for earthing personnel where mobility is required such as in
stores areas and where static protective flooring or mats have been installed. Floors with a
defined built-in resistance to earth greater than 1 megohm are preferred.
Our sturdy grounders fit most shoes and are made from comfortable non-woven textile
material. The conductive parts are two-layer rubber so as not to mark light coloured shoes.
Heel grounders generally fit all flat shoes whilst toe grounders are for use on shoes with raised
heels. Connection between the operator and floor is achieved by a conductive textile tongue,
approximately 36 cm long that passes over the side of the shoe into the shoe itself where
contact is made with the stockinged foot. The 1.5 mm thick rubber grounding strap passes
under and around the back of the shoe in heel grounders and under the front of the shoe with
toe grounders. It is secured on top of the shoe with distinctive yellow, green or pink straps.
Velcro closures allow for adjustment.
Socks or stockings will not usually insulate the wearer as natural perspiration completes the
path and achieves a body to earth resistance of less than 1 megohm. Where the resistance to
earth of the floor is less than 1 megohm we recommend the use of heel grounders with a cord
attachment with a built-in 1 megohm resistor. The resistor is rated at 錄 Watt.
