Product Information
Full details
The Rock Fall Apollo Safety Trainer is designed for professionals in demanding industrial environments who require high-level protection without the weight of traditional work boots. These trainers offer significant safety features, including a fibre glass toe cap and waterproof construction, though they are primarily optimized for S3 standard protection, which may feel more rigid than standard lifestyle athletic shoes.

FAQs
What does the S3 SRC rating mean?
S3 indicates the footwear has a toe cap, anti-penetration midsole, and water-resistant upper. SRC is the highest level of slip resistance certification.
Are these safety trainers suitable for airport security?
Because the toe cap is made of fibre glass rather than steel, they are generally much more friendly to metal detectors, though always check with specific facility policies.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the safety components and the waterproof membrane.
Is the toe cap as strong as steel?
Yes, it is rated for 200 Joules of protection, meeting the same high-impact standards as steel toe caps.
Are these trainers ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) compliant?
Many models in the Apollo series are ESD compliant; please check the specific tag on your footwear to confirm your model's ESD status.
How often should I replace my safety trainers?
It is recommended to replace them every 6-12 months depending on the intensity of use and the degradation of the outsole tread.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Check the outsole for debris, oil, or mud accumulation; scrub with a stiff brush to restore the tread pattern.
Footbed feels flat or uncomfortable
Remove the insole, clean it, or replace it with a compatible ergonomic replacement if the original has compressed.
Water penetrating the upper
Inspect the mesh for tears and re-apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, treat your safety trainers with care. While they are waterproof, avoid submerging them in standing water or chemicals that may degrade the rubber outsole. Clean the exterior regularly using a damp cloth and mild soap to prevent dirt buildup in the polyester mesh, which can restrict breathability. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Replace the footbeds if you notice them losing their cushioning effectiveness over time to maintain the promised shock absorption.
