are esd and sd shoes the same?
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.
