Product Information

Full details

These Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution Safety Trainers are designed for adult professionals seeking a blend of comfort, safety, and modern design. The primary benefit is the secure and easily adjustable fit provided by the BOA® Fit System, while a potential caveat is the specific S1 safety compliance which may not suit all work environments. Key features include an aluminum safety toe, metal-free nail penetration protection, and a slip-resistant rubber sole.

FAQs

What does EN 20345 S1 safety standard mean?

The S1 standard indicates that the shoes have a protective toe cap (e.g., aluminum), are antistatic, and have energy absorption in the heel. They also offer slip resistance and resistance to fuel oil.

Can I replace the BOA® Fit System if it breaks?

Replacement parts for the BOA® Fit System are often available directly from BOA® or through authorized service centers. Check the BOA® website for specific details and warranty information.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these trainers meet the S1 safety standard, which does not include requirements for water resistance. For waterproof protection, consider footwear with an S3 rating.

How do I ensure the best fit with the BOA® system?

Push the dial down to lock, then turn clockwise to tighten. Adjust until snug but not painful. Pull the dial up to release tension. A good fit distributes pressure evenly.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday use outside of work?

While comfortable, these are safety-rated work shoes. They are designed for specific workplace safety requirements and may not be ideal for casual wear due to their construction and safety features.

What is the advantage of a metal-free nail penetration protection?

It protects your feet from sharp objects penetrating the sole without using metal plates. This can be beneficial in environments where metal might trigger security scanners or interfere with certain types of work.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the dial is not obstructed by debris. Gently clean around the dial with a dry cloth. Avoid forcing the dial; if persistent, contact customer support.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after a short period.

Re-adjust the BOA® dial for a more precise fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for work footwear. Consider that the shoes may require a break-in period.

Sole appears to be losing grip.

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris or contaminants that might be reducing traction. Inspect the sole for excessive wear.

Insole feels inadequate.

These trainers are compatible with most aftermarket insoles. You can purchase and insert orthopedic or cushioning insoles for additional support, ensuring they do not interfere with the BOA® system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and easily adjustable fit with the BOA® Fit System.
  • Lightweight aluminum toe protection.
  • Excellent slip and oil resistance for various work conditions.
  • Breathable lining ensures comfort during long hours.
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe and heel areas.

Cons

  • S1 safety standard may not be sufficient for all industrial environments (e.g., requires S3 for water resistance and puncture protection).
  • BOA® system, while robust, is an additional component that could potentially require specific maintenance.
  • Primarily designed for dry conditions due to S1 rating.
  • Styling may be more suited to industrial settings than casual wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers feature the BOA® Fit System for closure. To tighten, push the BOA® dial down and turn it clockwise until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. To release, pull the BOA® dial up. Ensure the fit is secure but not constricting.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed to meet EN 20345 S1 safety standards. They are suitable for environments requiring toe protection, slip resistance, and fuel/oil resistance. They are not designed for environments requiring water resistance (WRU) or advanced puncture protection (S1P or S3 standards).

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth.
  • Lining: The air mesh lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly to maintain freshness.
  • BOA® System: Keep the dial free from excessive dirt. If needed, clean with a dry cloth. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
