Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA Wide Fit Waterproof Safety Shoes are designed for adult professionals who require durable, comfortable, and protective footwear in wet environments. Their key benefit is the combination of waterproof technology with an easy-to-use BOA Fit System and a wide fit for enhanced comfort. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, prolonged submersion may eventually affect performance. Key features include Helly Tech® waterproofing, a composite safety toe, metal-free nail penetration protection, and the convenient BOA® Fit System for quick adjustments.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?

While the Helly Tech® membrane offers waterproofing, these shoes are primarily designed for protection and comfort in general working conditions. For extreme cold, consider adding insulated socks.

Can I replace the BOA® Fit System laces?

Replacement laces for the BOA® Fit System are typically available from the BOA® manufacturer or specialized retailers if the original laces become damaged.

How do I know if I need the wide fit version?

If you typically find standard-width shoes too tight, experience pinching or pressure on the sides of your feet, or have a naturally broader foot shape, the wide fit version is recommended for enhanced comfort.

Are these shoes fully submersible?

The Helly Tech® membrane provides excellent water resistance, but prolonged submersion in deep water may eventually lead to water ingress. They are designed for protection against rain, puddles, and damp conditions.

What is the difference between composite toe and steel toe?

Composite toes are made from non-metal materials like carbon fiber or Kevlar, making them lighter and non-conductive, which is advantageous in environments with electrical hazards or metal detectors. Steel toes are traditional and can offer a slightly slimmer profile but are heavier and conduct electricity.

How long does the BOA® Fit System typically last?

The BOA® Fit System is engineered for durability and is designed to withstand the rigors of daily work use. With proper care, it should provide reliable performance throughout the lifespan of the footwear.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the dial and laces are free of dirt and debris. Gently clean the system with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the dial.

Feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.

Check for obvious punctures or damage to the Helly Tech® membrane. Ensure laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water entry from the top. Prolonged submersion may exceed the membrane's capabilities.

Shoe feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points.

Re-adjust the BOA® Fit System for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate socks.

Composite toe feels restrictive.

The composite toe is designed for protection and may feel different from un-toed shoes. Ensure the fit is correct; a well-fitting shoe should not cause undue restriction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the BOA® Fit System dial is fully released before inserting your foot. Once comfortable, turn the dial clockwise until a secure fit is achieved. To release, pull the dial outwards.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use in professional and industrial environments. Compatible with most standard workwear. The metal-free construction makes them suitable for workplaces with metal detection security.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior lining, use a soft brush and mild soap solution if necessary. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  2. Waterproofing: Periodically check the Helly Tech® membrane's integrity. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  3. BOA® System: Keep the dial and lace system clean. Small debris can be removed with a soft brush. Do not attempt to lubricate the system unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
