FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for construction sites?

These shoes are not designed with a safety toe cap, so they are not suitable for construction sites or environments that require protective footwear by regulation.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush with a little mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite Footbed?

The Ortholite footbed provides long-lasting cushioning, enhanced breathability, and effective moisture management, contributing to overall comfort.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoes.

How long does the waterproofing typically last?

The Helly Tech Waterproof Membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, the waterproofing should remain effective for the lifespan of the shoe.

What kind of surfaces is the outsole best suited for?

The tough outsole is ideal for rough and varied surfaces, offering good grip and durability in general outdoor and industrial environments.

Is there arch support in these shoes?

The Ortholite footbed provides cushioning and support, designed to accommodate the natural contours of the foot for comfort during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Water seeping into the shoes.

Check for any visible damage to the Helly Tech membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely. If damage is present, contact customer support. Minor dampness can sometimes be from internal moisture not escaping if the lining is saturated.

Outsole grip is reduced.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any mud, oil, or debris that may be stuck in the tread pattern. Ensure you are on a suitable surface for the shoe's intended grip.

Interior feels damp after use.

This could be due to perspiration. The breathable lining and footbed help manage moisture, but intense activity can lead to dampness. Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wearers. Primarily designed for non-hazardous work environments that do not require specific safety toe protection (e.g., steel toe caps). They are ideal for general industrial, logistics, or personal use where comfort and water resistance are priorities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior, use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The Helly Tech membrane is durable, but avoid puncturing the shoe. Regular cleaning helps maintain the material's integrity.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
