FAQs
What protection class do these trainers offer?
These Uvex 1 trainers are rated S3 SRC in accordance with EN ISO 20345:2011, offering protection against penetration, impact, slips, and moisture.
Are these shoes suitable for people with metal allergies?
Yes, the Uvex 1 trainers are 100% metal-free, featuring a metal-free toe cap and midsole, making them safe for individuals with metal sensitivities or in environments with metal detection.
Can I use my own custom orthotic insoles?
Yes, the trainers are designed to be compatible with orthopaedic adjustments and insoles from Uvex Medicare. Ensure your custom insoles fit the shoe's internal volume without compromising the fit.
How do I clean the microvelour upper?
Clean the microvelour upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean. Ensure they are air-dried.
What does ESD certified mean?
ESD certified means the footwear is designed to dissipate electrostatic charges. It meets the specification with a bleeder resistor under 35 megaohms, protecting sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge.
Are the laces easily adjustable?
Yes, the trainers come with elastic speed laces for quick, individual adjustment. Standard laces are also included if you prefer a traditional lacing system.
What is the width of this shoe model?
This specific model (85162) features the Uvex multi-width system and is designated as width W11.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Loosen the laces, especially around the pressure area. Ensure the correct size and width (W11 for this model) are being used. Consider using the standard laces for a different fit tension or consult Uvex Medicare for orthopaedic insert compatibility if needed.
Foot climate not optimal (too hot or sweaty).
Ensure the breathable microvelour upper and mesh lining are clear of debris. Use the moisture-wicking insoles provided. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears.
Reduced slip resistance over time.
Clean the PU outsole thoroughly with water and mild soap to remove any embedded dirt or contaminants that may be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
Scuff cap showing wear.
The foamed polyurethane scuff cap is designed to extend the upper's service life. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear. Clean gently and ensure no sharp objects are repeatedly impacting the area.
