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?

You push the dial in to engage, then turn it clockwise to tighten the laces for a secure fit. Pull the dial outwards to release the tension.

What does 'metal-free' mean for safety toe shoes?

It means the safety toe cap and nail penetration protection are made from non-metallic materials, which can be advantageous in environments with metal detectors or where electrical conductivity is a concern.

Can I replace the BOA system if it breaks?

Replacement parts for the BOA system are often available, or you may need to contact Helly Hansen customer support for assistance or repair options.

How do I choose the right size, especially with the wide fit?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart and measure your foot length. The 'wide fit' designation indicates a roomier toe box and midfoot area compared to standard models.

Are these suitable for very cold weather?

While they offer good protection from water, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. Consider adding thermal socks for colder temperatures.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please check the product packaging or the official Helly Hansen website for current warranty details.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or won't turn

Ensure the dial is not obstructed by dirt or debris. Try gently cleaning around the dial and lace path with a soft brush. If it persists, contact customer support.

Shoes are leaking despite being waterproof

Check for visible damage to the Helly Tech® membrane or seams. Ensure all closures are properly fastened. Reapply waterproofing treatment if the exterior seems dry. Contact support if damage is evident.

Foot discomfort or pressure points

Loosen the BOA system and readjust for a more even fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consider using thicker socks or aftermarket insoles if minor adjustments are needed.

Traction seems insufficient on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris that could impair grip. The tread pattern is designed for various conditions, but extreme surfaces may require specialized footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. Waterproofing: Periodically treat the exterior with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear to maintain the Helly Tech® membrane's performance.
