The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA Safety Trainers are designed for adult professionals seeking a blend of comfort, modern aesthetics, and robust safety features. Their primary benefit is the secure and easily adjustable BOA® Fit System, ensuring a perfect fit throughout the workday. A potential caveat is their specific safety rating (EN 20345 S1), which may not be suitable for all industrial environments requiring higher protection levels. These trainers offer a synthetic upper, textile lining, and a rubber sole, incorporating an aluminum safety toe and metal-free nail penetration protection for essential safety.

The EN 20345 S1 standard indicates that these trainers have a protective toe cap resistant to 200 joule impacts, are energy-absorbent in the heel area, and have a fuel/oil-resistant sole. They do not include midsole penetration protection or water resistance.
You can clean the BOA® dial and laces by wiping them with a damp cloth. Ensure no dirt or debris accumulates around the dial mechanism. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Periodically check that the cable is not frayed or damaged.
These are rated S1, which means they offer some resistance to fuel and oil but are not specifically designed for waterproofing. While they can handle minor splashes, they are not intended for prolonged exposure to wet conditions or water submersion.
The BOA® Fit System provides a secure, micro-adjustable fit with a simple twist of a dial. It allows for quick tightening and loosening, even while wearing gloves, and ensures a consistent fit throughout the day without pressure points.
They are suitable for general work and light construction where S1 protection is sufficient. However, for sites requiring protection against sharp objects penetrating the midsole (S1P or higher) or protection in very wet/uneven terrain (S3 or higher), these trainers may not offer adequate safety.
The item weight is approximately 1.73 KG, which is relatively standard for safety footwear and designed to balance protection with user comfort.
BOA® systems are generally designed for durability. In most cases, replacement parts or kits are available directly from BOA® or specialized retailers if the original mechanism fails.
Ensure the dial is fully pulled out before turning. Clean around the dial and cable entry points to remove any dirt or debris. If stiff, a small amount of dry lubricant can be applied sparingly to the mechanism.
Adjust the BOA® dial for a precise fit. Pull the dial outwards, release, and then turn clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise (if applicable to the specific L6 model) to loosen. Ensure the cable is routed correctly through eyelets.
Check the BOA® dial setting; it may be too tight. Consider if the shoe size is correct. Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is functioning; if feet are excessively sweaty, ensure adequate ventilation during breaks. Replacing the insole might also improve comfort.
Inspect the sole for excessive wear patterns. Clean the sole thoroughly to restore grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement as the sole's protective and anti-slip properties may be compromised.
Aluminum is a conductor of heat. In extremely cold conditions, consider wearing insulated socks. The S1 rating does not include thermal insulation.
Setup: These safety trainers are designed for immediate use. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and safety. To adjust the fit, pull the BOA® dial outwards, loosen the cable, push the dial back in, and then turn clockwise to tighten until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. To release, pull the dial outwards again.
Compatibility: The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA Safety Trainers meet the EN 20345 S1 safety standard. They are compatible with general workshop environments, light industrial settings, and indoor work where protection against impact, compression, and penetration by sharp objects is required. They are suitable for use in areas exposed to fuels and oils, and where slip resistance is important. They are not recommended for environments requiring S3 or higher protection standards (e.g., midsole penetration resistance, water resistance, or safety in wet conditions).
Care: To maintain the trainers' performance and longevity:
