This may sound a bit over the top (well, ok then a lot!). You could always fit them with the anti theft tags similar to being used in the shops, that way a buzzer can be sounded when they try to leave the building & they can be told to "get em off". I would imagine that the kit can be obtained from a shopfitters. But then installing that and the cost of the tags may become more expensive than the cost of the straps, but maybe not with the shoes. >-----Original Message----- >From: Justin Braime [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] >Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2000 7:04 PM >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: [TN] Antistatic shoes ? > >G'day Paul >Have used conductive shoes at one of my previous jobs over in the UK.
