This document discloses antistatic shoe insoles that include a flexible foam layer and antistatic filaments of textile material interspersed throughout the foam layer and extending passed or exposed at the surface of the shoe insole and methods of making such an antistatic shoe insole. The antistatic filaments are needle punched through the foam layer. The antistatic filaments may be any suitable antistatic material blended with any felt fiber such as wool fiber, cotton fiber, polyester fiber, or the like.

The present technology relates to novel conductive polymer rivets designed to allow a user to ground a shoe, including a sandal. They allow for easy installation into various types of shoes resulting in a comfortable, aesthetic and grounded shoe. The present technology also relates to kits incorporating such conductive polymer rivets with instructions for inserting such rivets into a shoe. The present technology further relates to methods of inserting such conductive polymer rivets into shoes. The present technology also relates to shoes with the present conductive polymer rivets inserted therein.
