I respectfully disagree with the opinion that ESD shoes are a pain in the
neck.
I have worked at a place where you had to wear your ESD safety shoes to be
allowed to work on the production floor. They didn't ask for it, they
demanded it. So nobody would get hurt (at least for their feet) and nobody
would zap components. And it worked just fine.
Also, I didn't find these shoes to be hotter or more sweaty than regular
shoes.

After trying both, here is my opinion...a) heel straps work good if you use
them
and if you use them on both feet. People put one leg up while working a lot
and
then your not grounded. They are cheap, wear out a lot and people forget to
use
them or not put them on proplerly.
b) foot wear, shoes
or boots are expensive,
a pain to set up for people to get the right size, etc. especially if you
have a shoe
truck come in. But, you realy should not wear the same shoes every day, and
the
most important fact, the shoes get the foot hot and sweaty (that's the way
they
work) and people don't like them for that reason. If they take the shoes
home
and don't wear them the next day, then you need straps, there are other
negatives.
But, they work good.
Therefore, as straps work good, and if you police the practice, that's the
better way in my opinion.
