FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

These boots are designed with a regular width. If you typically require wide-fitting footwear, they may not provide optimal comfort. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider alternative models designed for wider feet.

How do I clean the Helly Tech® membrane?

The Helly Tech® membrane is integrated into the boot. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could potentially damage the membrane's integrity or the boot's materials.

What does S3 SRC certification mean?

S3 indicates the boot meets specific safety requirements including a protected toe cap, resistance to water penetration, and energy absorption in the heel. SRC means the boot has passed the highest level of slip resistance testing on both ceramic and steel surfaces.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Ensure you use laces of a similar length and material for optimal fit and function.

What is the weight of these boots?

The item weight is approximately 1.58 KG for a pair, providing a balance of protection and manageability.

How high is the heel on these boots?

The heel height is flat, under 2.5cm, which is standard for safety boots and contributes to stability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel uncomfortable or tight.

Adjust the lacing to provide more room in specific areas. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying them with the type of socks you typically wear for work.

Feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.

Check for any visible tears or damage to the Helly Tech® membrane. Ensure laces are tied to maintain a good seal. If water ingress persists, the membrane may be compromised.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

While designed for high slip resistance (SRC), performance can vary on extremely polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean; debris can reduce grip. Inspect the tread for significant wear.

Water appears to seep through the seams.

Minor dampness in very prolonged submersion is possible. For most conditions, this indicates a potential issue with seam sealing or membrane integrity. Contact customer support if the issue is persistent in normal use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for wet conditions.
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear.
  • Lightweight yet protective aluminum toe cap.
  • High slip resistance for enhanced safety.
  • Breathable lining to prevent overheating.

Cons

  • Regular width may not be suitable for wider feet.
  • Lace-up closure requires manual adjustment.
  • Synthetic upper material may be less durable in extreme abrasive conditions compared to full leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. The lace-up design allows for adjustable snugness across the foot.

Compatibility: These boots meet EN ISO 20345 S3 SRC safety standards, making them suitable for various professional settings requiring certified safety footwear, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and general industrial work. The regular width is compatible with standard foot shapes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior lining, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can degrade the materials.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the laces, stitching, and sole for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the waterproof membrane remains intact by avoiding punctures or tears.
