Electrical Hazard (EH) Footwear for Shock-Prone Jobsites

Our Electrical Hazard collection brings together 164 boots and shoes built to reduce the risk of electric shock when workers contact live circuits, energized equipment, or high-voltage components. You'll find waterproof loggers, athletic work shoes, met-guard styles, and 6" and 8" boots from brands like Hoss, Reebok, Safety Girl, DC Work Crew, and Moxie Trades. Whether you outfit a single electrician or a full crew, this page helps you match the right protection to the hazard.

How to Choose EH Footwear

  • Confirm the EH rating. Under ASTM F2413, the "EH" mark indicates footwear designed to withstand secondary electrical contact on dry surfaces. Check the specific product's spec sheet, since not every style in this range carries the same markings.
  • Pair with toe protection. Options here include composite, aluminum, and steel toes (I/75 impact, C/75 compression). Composite and aluminum are non-conductive alternatives to steel, worth considering alongside EH performance.
  • Match the environment. Waterproof builds suit wet outdoor work; keep in mind EH protection is degraded by moisture, wear, and worn-through soles.
  • Add features you need. Look for met-guards (Mt), puncture resistance (PR), and slip-rated outsoles depending on your tasks.
  • Get the fit right. Sizing runs from athletic shoes to 8" logger boots, in men's and women's cuts.

A Compliance Note

ASTM F2413 EH footwear is intended as a secondary source of protection, not a substitute for lockout/tagout or proper electrical safety practices. Inspect soles regularly and replace worn footwear to maintain protection.
