FAQs

What does S3 WR CI SRC mean for these boots?

S3 indicates safety standards including a protective toe cap, penetration-resistant sole, and energy-absorbing heel. WR signifies water resistance. CI denotes cold insulation, and SRC guarantees high slip resistance.

Can I wear these boots for everyday use?

While comfortable, these boots are engineered with specialized features for demanding work environments. For everyday casual wear, lighter footwear might be more suitable.

How durable is the Infinergy® insert?

The Infinergy® insert is designed for high resilience and sustained energy return, with tests showing over 55% energy return. Its durability is built for professional use.

Are the boots breathable with the GORE-TEX membrane?

Yes, the GORE-TEX Performance membrane is designed to be waterproof while also allowing for breathability, helping to manage moisture and maintain a comfortable internal climate.

What types of surfaces are the PU soles best suited for?

The compact, non-slip PU sole provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, including those that are oily, wet, or uneven, commonly found in industrial settings.

Is the anti-puncture system made of metal?

No, the Save & Flex Plus anti-puncture system is completely metal-free, offering full sole protection without the potential conductivity issues associated with metal plates.

How should I clean the leather exterior?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from heat.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel damp inside despite being waterproof.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that socks are breathable and not retaining moisture. Allow boots to air dry completely after use.

Reduced energy return or comfort over time.

The Infinergy® insert is designed for durability, but comfort can be subjective. Ensure the WOW GEL footbed is clean and properly seated. Consider replacing the footbed if heavily worn.

Sole shows signs of wear or reduced grip.

Inspect the PU sole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole regularly. If grip is significantly compromised, it may be time to consider replacement.

Difficulty putting on or removing boots.

Ensure laces are fully loosened. Check for any internal debris. If the boot is consistently too tight, confirm the correct size was purchased.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe away dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Water Repellency: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's effectiveness, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents. Periodically inspect the boots for any damage to the membrane or seals.
