FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution trainers 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 the laces for a secure fit, and pull outwards to release. It allows for quick and easy adjustments.
What is the advantage of a composite safety toe?
A composite safety toe provides protection against impacts and compression, similar to a steel toe, but is significantly lighter and does not conduct heat or cold as readily.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
These shoes have a moisture-wicking and breathable lining, which helps with comfort. However, for extremely hot conditions, breathability might be a consideration compared to non-waterproof options.
What does 'metal free' mean for these safety shoes?
'Metal free' refers to the absence of metal components in the safety toe and nail penetration protection. This can be advantageous in security-sensitive environments or where metal could cause issues.
How do I clean and maintain the waterproof membrane?
To maintain the waterproof membrane, clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes are air-dried and not exposed to direct heat.
Is this model available in other colors or sizes?
This specific model, the Chelsea Evolution BOA Wide Waterproof Composite-Toe Safety Shoe, is available in Black/Grey. Other models within the Chelsea Evolution family are available in different colors like Orange and in a wider range of UK sizes, often with both wide and standard fits.
Troubleshooting
BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure there is no debris obstructing the dial. Try cleaning the dial area with a dry brush. If stiffness persists, check the BOA® system's official care instructions for lubrication guidance.
Water is leaking into the shoes
Inspect the Helly Tech® membrane seams and overall shoe integrity for any punctures or tears. Ensure laces and BOA® system are properly tightened. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-test.
Foot discomfort despite wide fit
Ensure the BOA® system is not over-tightened. Check the internal sock liner for any wrinkles or obstructions. Consider using aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced arch support or cushioning if needed.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud, oil, or debris. The slip resistance can be affected by the surface conditions. These shoes are designed for general work environments, not specific slip-resistant requirements unless stated.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Lining: The moisture-wicking lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the interior is dry before wearing.
- BOA® System: Periodically check the BOA® dial and laces for any damage. Clean the dial mechanism with a dry brush if it becomes clogged with debris.
