Electrical Hazard (EH) Safety Shoes for Women
Electrical-hazard protection, built on a woman’s last.
Our EH-rated boots are tested to withstand 18,000 volts so they’ll provide secondary protection against incidental contact with energized circuits up to 600 volts in dry conditions. Every Xena EH style is ASTM F2413-certified and engineered on a women’s last, so the boot actually fits your heel, arch, and toes instead of a shrunk-down men’s mold. From the best selling Omega to the rugged Horizon, find an EH shoe you’ll wear all shift.

What an EH rating actually protects against
An Electrical Hazard (EH) rating means the sole and heel are built to resist the flow of electricity to the ground, giving you secondary protection against open circuits of up to 600 volts in dry conditions. Think of it as a backup — if you step on a live wire or brush an energized part, EH construction helps reduce the current that can pass through your foot. It is not a substitute for de-energizing equipment, but it is the protection OSHA-aware employers look for in electrical, utility, and construction environments.
Built for a woman’s foot
Most ‘women’s’ safety shoes are just smaller men’s molds — which is why they slip at the heel and press across the toes. We start over on a women’s last, so the shoe holds your heel and supports your arch through a full shift on concrete. A shoe that fits is a shoe that protects.
Comfort and the full rating picture
Every pair pairs a cushioned, removable, antimicrobial footbed with slip-resistant (SR) outsoles rated for wet and dry floors. From there, match the shoe to your hazard: EH on the Omega, Spice, Nova, Fusion, Horizon and Rogue; add Static Dissipative (SD) on the Valence; or an integrated metatarsal guard (Mt 75) on the Fusion. If your employer still cites the old ANSI Z41 standard, ASTM F2413 supersedes it — you’re covered.
FAQ
What does an EH (Electrical Hazard) rating mean?
It means the footwear is built to resist electrical current through the sole and heel, providing secondary protection against open circuits up to 600 volts in dry conditions. Every Xena EH style is tested to the ASTM F2413 standard.
Are Xena EH shoes OSHA-compliant?
Yes. Every model is ASTM F2413-certified — the standard OSHA relies on — and passes I/75 C/75 impact and compression testing. We can send the full certification report for your employer on request.
Which Xena styles are EH-rated?
EH protection is built into the Omega, Spice, Nova, Fusion, Horizon, and Rogue, plus the EH variant of the Astra. Each product page lists its exact ratings so you can match the shoe to your job site.
Does EH footwear replace proper electrical safety procedures?
No. EH footwear is secondary protection only. Always de-energize equipment and follow your employer’s lockout/tagout and electrical-safety procedures — your shoes are a backup, not a primary safeguard.
