Question: are esd and sd shoes the same?
Answer: Technically, the difference in the Static Dissipating (SD) and Conductive (CD) shoes is SD shoes have slightly higher resistance (1,000,000 to 100,000,000 Ohms versus 0 to 500,000 Ohms for CD footwear), which causes Static Dissipating SD shoes to dissipate static electricity a little slower than Conductive shoes do.
