FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Helly Tech® Waterproof Membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How does the BOA Fit System work?

The BOA Fit System uses a dial that you turn clockwise to tighten and pull outwards to release. It allows for precise, on-the-fly adjustments for a secure and customized fit.

What does 'Wide Fit' mean for these trainers?

The 'Wide Fit' designation indicates that these shoes offer more volume and space in the forefoot and midfoot areas compared to standard-width safety shoes, providing enhanced comfort for individuals with broader feet.

Are these shoes suitable for electrical hazard protection?

While they offer a metal-free construction, they are not specifically rated for Electrical Hazard (EH) protection. Please refer to EH-rated footwear if this is a primary requirement.

Can I replace the BOA laces if they break?

Yes, BOA laces and dials are typically replaceable. You can usually purchase replacement kits directly from BOA or authorized retailers.

What is the main benefit of the composite toe cap?

The composite toe cap provides safety against impact and compression hazards without the weight or thermal conductivity of traditional steel toes, making them more comfortable and suitable for varied environments.

How should I clean the Helly Tech® membrane?

The Helly Tech® membrane is integrated into the shoe's lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Avoid using solvents or harsh cleaners directly on the membrane area.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the dial is clean and free of debris. Gently flex the dial while turning. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Foot feels loose despite tightening the BOA system

Ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tension evenly. Consider if the wide fit is appropriate for your foot shape.

Water seeping into the shoe

Check for any tears or damage to the upper material or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly seated to block water entry. If damage is evident, professional repair or replacement may be needed.

Soles feel slippery

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance, but performance can be reduced on extremely contaminated surfaces.

Composite toe feels uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. The wide fit is designed for more volume, but ensure it aligns with your foot shape. Break-in periods may be necessary for initial comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The primary adjustment is the BOA® Fit System. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise until a secure, comfortable fit is achieved. To loosen, pull the dial outwards. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned across the foot for optimal comfort and support.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for adult use in professional and industrial environments. They meet EN ISO 20345 S3 SRC safety standards. The metal-free construction is compatible with metal detectors.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove insoles and stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames. Never use a direct heat source to dry.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the Helly Tech® membrane integrity. Avoid puncturing or tearing the upper material. While the material is waterproof, prolonged submersion is not recommended.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, away from direct sunlight.
