Product Information
Full details
The Himalayan Electro Trainer in Black, UK size 15, is designed for adults working in environments requiring electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and general safety. Its key benefit is providing robust safety features like a 200-joule toecap and penetration-resistant midsole, combined with comfort for long wear and ESD compliance for sensitive workplaces. A potential caveat is its specific sizing, so verifying fit is important for optimal comfort and performance.

FAQs
What does S1P rating mean for these trainers?
An S1P rating indicates that the safety trainer has a 200-joule toe-cap, a penetration-resistant midsole, and is anti-static with an energy-absorbing heel.
Are these trainers suitable for wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers breathability but may not be fully waterproof. While the sole is oil-resistant, the trainers are not designed as waterproof footwear. For very wet conditions, consider a different type of safety boot.
How do I clean the anti-static properties?
The anti-static and ESD properties are inherent to the materials. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring the shoe dries naturally, will maintain these properties. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials.
Can I wear these trainers outside of ESD-sensitive environments?
Yes, the Himalayan Electro Trainers meet general safety standards (S1P SRC HRO) and offer excellent protection and comfort, making them suitable for various industrial and workshop environments even if ESD compliance is not strictly required.
What is the benefit of a metal-free design?
A metal-free design means the toecap and midsole are made from composite or fibre-glass materials. This is advantageous in environments with metal detectors, as it prevents the footwear from triggering alarms.
How durable is the PU "2D" non-slip outsole?
The 200°C rated PU "2D" outsole is designed for durability and resistance to heat and abrasion. Its non-slip properties, verified by the SRC rating, ensure reliable traction in various conditions.
What is the primary advantage of the Air-Tex lining?
The Air-Tex lining is designed to be moisture-wicking. This helps to draw sweat away from your feet, keeping them drier and more comfortable throughout the working day, especially during periods of high activity.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (15 in this case). Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks based on your preference and the fit. Break in the trainers gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Reduced slip resistance noticed.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris, oil, or contaminants. The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance on specific test surfaces; performance can vary on extremely contaminated or unusual surfaces. Inspect the sole for excessive wear.
Static electricity seems to build up despite ESD compliance.
Ensure the floor surface you are walking on is also suitable for ESD. Some flooring materials may interfere with the dissipation of static. Check that the trainers are clean and free from excessive dirt that could impede conductivity.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear or damage.
The mesh upper is designed for flexibility and breathability. For areas with high abrasion risk, consider using scuff protection sprays or covers if available. Clean gently to avoid further damage.

Cons
- Specific sizing may require careful fitting.
- Mesh upper might offer less water resistance than solid materials.
- Composite midsole may offer a different feel than steel for some users.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These safety trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and protection. The laces allow for adjustable fit.
Compatibility:
- Standards: Compliant with European Standard EN ISO 20345:2011, meeting S1P, SRC, ESD, and HRO ratings.
- Environments: Suitable for environments requiring static control (ESD), general industrial safety, workshops, logistics, and more.
- Metal Detectors: Metal-free design makes them compatible with metal detection systems.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove any debris from the sole. A damp cloth can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Lining: For the interior, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the inside is dry before wearing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in their original box, to maintain their shape and protect the materials.
