FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for women?
Yes, these are unisex trainers designed for adults, and the UK size 4 (EU 37) would be appropriate for individuals who typically wear that size.
What does S1P rating mean?
S1P is a European safety rating that signifies the footwear has a protective toecap, is antistatic, has energy absorption in the heel, and features a penetration-resistant midsole.
Can I wear these in very hot conditions?
The trainers have a heat resistance rating (HRO) for the outsole up to 300°C, making them suitable for environments with high ground temperatures. The mesh upper also aids breathability.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the trainers securely but comfortably, ensuring your heel is stable and there is enough room in the toe box. Adjust the lacing throughout the day as needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The description does not specify waterproof features. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means they are not inherently waterproof.
What is the difference between composite and steel toe caps?
Composite toe caps are made from non-metallic materials (like polymers or carbon fiber) and are generally lighter and do not conduct heat or electricity as readily as steel. Steel toe caps are heavier but can offer a higher level of impact resistance in some cases.
What does SRC slip resistance entail?
SRC is the highest slip resistance rating. It means the footwear has passed tests for slip resistance on both ceramic tile floors with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and steel floors with glycerol.
Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue despite 'anti-fatigue' features
Ensure the trainers are the correct size and fit. Adjust lacing for proper support. Allow a break-in period if they are new. Verify the anti-fatigue footbed is correctly positioned.
Reduced slip resistance on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris that might affect grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly with water. Note that SRC rating is a benchmark; performance can vary with specific contaminants and surface types.
Mesh upper appears to be damaged
Minor scuffs can be cleaned. If the mesh is torn or significantly frayed, it may compromise protection and durability. Consider replacement if structural integrity is affected.
Unusual smell inside the trainers
Use a dry brush to clean the interior and allow thorough air drying. Consider using an odor-absorbing spray or powder specifically designed for footwear. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These safety trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them appropriately for a secure and comfortable fit, adjusting the tension for different parts of your foot. The lace-up closure allows for a personalized fit.
Compatibility: Designed to meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P SRC HRO standards. They are compatible with most standard work environments requiring safety footwear. Note that they are metal-free, which can be an advantage in certain security or electrical environments, but always check specific site regulations.
Care: To maintain the trainers and their safety properties:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior, use a dry brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the toecap, midsole, outsole, and upper for any signs of damage, wear, or degradation. Replace the footwear if significant damage is noted, as its protective qualities may be compromised.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
