red wing shoes

I've called a red wing shoe store. They have boots that are an the
neighborhood of 135 and silver tennnis shoes that are 126 dollars.
Does anybody who buys these shoes know of any that are different than
these? Cheaper than these?

Mine are oxford-style shoes that I can wear at work. They come in
either black or brown leather. They are static dissipative type
1 ("SD Type 1"). They do cost about $125 though...

I was talking with a young clerk on the phone. I went to the store
and she pointed out some cheaper ones to me and said they were also
electrical hazard work shoes. She showed me some that were 63 dollars
and I bought them. But no where on the box or on the shoes do they
say they are electrical hazard shoes. I hope she knows what she was
doing and/or talking about. They are quite comfortable though.

On the inside of my shoes, the fine print says "SD type 1". You might
want to check the fine print on your shoes, or have a look at the
Red Wing website, and see if you can find out more info.

Prior to getting these shoes, I was getting a shock every time I
stepped out of my car and touched the door. That stopped immediately
with these shoes.

I went to the website and did a product search for shoes that were
electrical hazard. It came back with 60 shoes. One were the oxford
5550. Is that the brand you have? I got the oxford 6550-2. They do
not list the 6550-2 but it has the same specs as the 6550 which they
do list as electrical hazard. On the inside of the shoe are the
letters eh which I think is electrical hazard but not the SD type 1.

from looking at the pictures on the website, I'd say that I have
the 6618:

Have you seen those "Coronatex" socks they sell at lessemf.com? I
wonder if my electrical hazard work shoes will do the same thing.
They say farmer connect them with a wire. Only 633 ohm resistivity.
I think my work shoes were around 800 something. A lot to pay for a
pair of socks that will be washed and wore out. 28 or 35 dollars
depending on the size.

Nope, just tried the shoes, and it solved my "shocking" problem.
I didn't really notice any change in my ES symptoms after changing
shoes, though.
