SD and EH Are Not the Same Thing — and This Shoe Is SD
An electrical hazard (EH) shoe insulates you from a live circuit. A static dissipative (SD) shoe does the opposite: it conducts static charge off your body and into the floor at a controlled rate. The two are mutually exclusive under ASTM F2413, and the CA5595 is SD. Do not treat it as EH protection.
Why a Romeo
A Romeo is a laceless ankle shoe with elastic gore panels at the sides. There's nothing to catch, nothing to tie, and you're in and out of it in seconds — which is why they're standard on warehouse floors, in plants with clean-room transitions, and anywhere you're on and off a forklift all day.
Why Choose the CA5595?
Safety-toe protection and a static dissipative rating in a shoe you can kick off at the door — for light-duty work that still has an ASTM requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CA5595 true to size?
Carolina generally runs true to size — order the size you wear in sneakers. Carolina offers this shoe in D and 2E; on a laceless Romeo, width matters more than usual, since there are no laces to take up slack.
What is an SD shoe for?
Environments where a static discharge is the hazard: electronics manufacturing and repair, cleanrooms, powder handling, fuel and solvent work. The shoe bleeds off the charge your body builds up walking across a floor.
