Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA Wide Fit Waterproof Safety Toe Shoes are designed for adult professionals who require durable, comfortable, and protective footwear in wet work environments. Their key benefit is combining waterproof technology with a secure and easy-to-use BOA Fit System in a wide fit, offering excellent comfort and quick adjustments. A potential consideration is the metal-free construction, which may not be suitable for all specific industry safety requirements, though it meets S3 SRC standards.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of construction sites?

These shoes meet EN ISO 20345 S3 SRC standards, including composite toe and anti-penetration protection. However, some specific sites may mandate steel toe caps. Always check site-specific safety regulations.

How do I clean the Helly Tech® membrane?

Clean the exterior gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat to preserve the membrane's integrity.

Can the BOA system be replaced if it breaks?

Yes, BOA systems are designed for durability and often have replacement parts or repair kits available. Contact Helly Hansen customer support or BOA for specific guidance on replacement.

What does S3 SRC certification mean?

S3 indicates resistance to water penetration, a composite or non-metal protective toe, and protection against sole perforation. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance on various surfaces.

How wide is the 'wide fit' in these shoes?

The 'Wide Fit' designation indicates a broader last compared to standard sizing, designed to offer more volume and comfort for wider foot profiles. Specific measurements can vary by manufacturer, but it generally provides more room in the forefoot and midfoot.

Are these shoes safe for use in areas with electrical hazards?

While these shoes offer excellent protection, they are not specifically rated for electrical hazard (EH) protection unless explicitly stated by Helly Hansen for a particular model variant. Always refer to the product specifications for EH ratings.

How do I adjust the BOA system for different activities?

Pull the dial outwards to release tension and loosen the fit. Push the dial back in and turn clockwise to tighten incrementally for a secure fit during strenuous activity. Pulling the dial fully outwards disengages the system for removal.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the dial is fully pulled outwards before attempting to turn. Check for debris around the dial mechanism and clean gently with a small brush. If persistent, contact customer support.

Shoes leak or are no longer waterproof

Inspect the Helly Tech® membrane and seams for visible damage. Ensure all closures are properly secured. For minor wear, specialized waterproofing treatments may help, but significant damage may require replacement.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify the BOA system is adjusted correctly – not too tight. Ensure the correct size has been selected, considering the wide fit. Wear for short periods initially to allow for break-in. Consider alternative socks for different cushioning.

Odor development

Remove and wash insoles separately. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use, especially in damp conditions. Use anti-odor sprays or powders designed for footwear. Store with an air freshener or cedar shoe trees.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for wet conditions.
  • Convenient and precise BOA Fit System for easy adjustments.
  • Wide fit provides superior comfort for extended wear.
  • Lightweight composite toe and metal-free design.
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe and heel.

Cons

  • Metal-free construction might not meet all niche industrial safety regulations.
  • BOA system, while convenient, could be a potential failure point over very long-term extreme use.
  • Composite toe may offer slightly less rigidity than steel for some specific impact scenarios.
  • Initial break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure the BOA dial is loosened fully by pulling it outwards, slide your foot in, and push the dial back in to engage. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten to your desired fit. To release, pull the dial outwards again.

Compatibility: The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA Wide Fit shoes are certified EN ISO 20345 S3 SRC, meeting international safety standards for protective footwear. The metal-free construction makes them suitable for environments with metal detectors, but always confirm specific site requirements.

Care: To maintain the waterproof membrane and overall condition:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to clean and ensure they dry thoroughly to prevent odor and maintain hygiene.
