Insulated shoes are a kind of safety shoes made of insulating materials, which are mainly suitable for workers exposed to high voltage environment. Insulation refers to the use of insulating materials to seal the charged body, so as to isolate the charged body or conductors with different potentials, so that the current can flow in a certain way. Good insulation is a necessary condition to ensure the normal operation of equipment and lines, and it is also an important measure to prevent electric shock accidents.

Insulation often plays other roles: heat dissipation and cooling, mechanical support and fixing, energy storage, arc extinguishing, moisture resistance, mildew resistance and conductor protection. Insulated labor shoes in daily work, workshops and laboratories in microelectronics industry, such as electronic computers, electronic communication equipment, integrated circuits, etc., are usually prone to generate more static electricity. The energy of static electricity is not large, but its voltage may be as high as tens of kilovolts or more, which may lead to the danger of discharge, spark and explosion.

At the same time, static electricity, a physical phenomenon, will hinder production, lead to poor product quality and damage electronic equipment. Besides static electricity, there are many cable and power plant workers who are often in contact with high-voltage electricity. Wearing insulated shoes is irreplaceable for the safety protection of these workers. There are some matters needing attention in the use of conductive labor protection shoes and insulated shoes. Insulated shoes should be placed in a ventilated and cool place as much as possible after use, so as to prevent the shoes from being damp and deformed.

At the same time, attention should be paid to the maintenance of insulated shoes, and water should be avoided when cleaning. Instead, clean cloth should be used to wipe off the dust on the surface of leather shoes and then apply shoe polish. Through these steps, the service life of insulated shoes can be prolonged as much as possible, the service quality of insulated shoes can also be guaranteed, and its safety efficiency can be maximized.
