Technical specifications and safety standards

S1P certification and ESD antistatic protection

The Coverguard Galaxite is S1P certified, meaning it includes a protective toe cap, an anti-perforation sole, and resistance to hydrocarbons.

The ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) rating ensures controlled dissipation of static electricity. This is indispensable in sensitive environments: electronics, chemistry, cleanrooms.

Here are the protections included in this shoe:

• Safety toe cap: resistance to 200 J impact
• Anti-perforation sole: compliant with EN ISO 20345
• ESD: resistance between 0.1 MΩ and 1,000 MΩ
• Antistatic sole: prevents the accumulation of static charges
• Hydrocarbon resistance: sole resistant to fuel and oil

The sole is also slip-resistant, adapted to smooth or slightly damp floors encountered in workshops or warehouses.

Model	Standard	ESD	Toe cap	Main use
Coverguard Galaxite	S1P	Yes	Composite	Industry, electronics
Coverguard Moonstone	S3	No	Composite	Construction, damp outdoor
Uvex 1 Business	S1P	Yes	Steel	Logistics, office/service
Puma Safety Xcite	S1P	No	Composite	Warehouse, handling

The Galaxite stands out for its S1P + ESD combination with a lightweight composite toe cap, where competing models often overlook electrostatic dissipation.

Materials, comfort, and daily ergonomics

The Coverguard Galaxite safety shoe is based on a treated, robust, and breathable full-grain leather upper. This material resists light abrasion and gradually softens with wear.

The dual-density PU midsole absorbs shocks with every step. It reduces fatigue on long days spent standing or moving constantly.

The protective toe cap is made of lightweight steel, compliant with the S1P standard. It protects against falling objects up to 200 joules without unnecessarily weighing down the shoe.

The integrated anti-perforation sole covers the entire surface of the foot. It blocks nails and piercing elements on uneven industrial floors.

The ESD (antistatic) property is particularly useful in environments sensitive to electrostatic discharge: electronics, chemicals, cleanrooms.

The heel support stabilizes the foot during prolonged standing. Combined with the removable insole, it allows the fit to be adjusted to the wearer's foot type.

Highlights of materials and comfort:

• Breathable full-grain leather upper
• Anti-fatigue dual-density PU sole
• 200 J steel toe cap
• Full-sole anti-perforation
• Removable insole
• Integrated ESD property

Compared to the Coverguard Velocity, it adds ESD protection without sacrificing comfort. A logical choice if your workstation involves sensitive electronic components.

Compared to Puma Safety or Reebok Work models, the Galaxite offers a similar protection-to-lightweight ratio, with the added advantage of Coverguard’s well-established service network in Europe.

Areas of application and recommended user profiles

The Coverguard Galaxite is designed for environments where two risks overlap: mechanical shocks and electrostatic discharge. Its S1P ESD certification makes it a targeted choice, not a universal one.

It is particularly suitable for professions in electronics and electrotechnics, where the slightest static discharge can damage sensitive components. Maintenance technicians, assembly line operators, cleanroom agents: this profile is exactly what it is intended for.

Light-to-medium manufacturing is also a suitable environment. Production workshops, industrial logistics, mechanical assembly: anywhere where the floor might be slippery and the risks of crushing are real.

The antistatic sole dissipates charges to the floor without completely insulating the foot. This point is important: the Galaxite is not an insulating shoe. It does not protect against direct electrical risks (contact with live parts).

It is not recommended for:

• Construction sites exposed to nail punctures (if no P-rated anti-perforation sole)
• Very wet environments or where boots are required
• Live electrical work (choose certified insulating footwear)

In summary, the Coverguard Galaxite is aimed at clean industry professionals, indoors, with proven ESD constraints. It is a technical shoe, designed for a specific purpose.
