ESD safe and conductive are 2 totaly different situations. There are ESD safe carpets but I don't think I have seen coductive carpet. For heel straps to work in a carpeted area it would have to be conductive. Don't get the 2 mixed up it can cause dea

If your budget allows, there are dress shoes made that are ESD safe. This would preclude the need for the straps, and the hassle of having to keep track of wearing them.
