Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Chelsea Evolution BOA® is designed for adult males requiring robust safety footwear with exceptional comfort and a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is the secure, adjustable fit provided by the BOA® Fit System, ensuring all-day wearability. A potential caveat for some users might be the low-top shoe shaft height, which offers less ankle support than boots. This versatile shoe combines a durable synthetic upper, a breathable textile lining, and a slip-resistant rubber sole, making it ideal for various work environments. Key features include an aluminum safety toe, metal-free nail penetration protection, cold protection, and waterproof, breathable construction.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the BOA® Fit System?

The BOA® Fit System provides a micro-adjustable, secure, and consistent fit that can be easily operated with one hand, allowing for quick adjustments throughout the day without needing to remove the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?

Yes, the shoes are waterproof and breathable, offering protection against external moisture. However, their low-top design means they may not prevent water from entering if submerged significantly.

What safety standard do these shoes meet?

These shoes meet the EN 20345 S1 safety standard, which includes a protective toe cap and resistance to fuel/oil.

Can I replace the BOA® Fit System if it breaks?

Yes, BOA® offers a lifetime guarantee on their Fit System components. If your system experiences issues, you can contact BOA® directly for replacement parts and support.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Helly Hansen. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing indicated. The shoe width is regular.

Are these shoes safe for environments with sharp objects on the ground?

Yes, they feature metal-free nail penetration protection, which shields the foot from sharp objects like nails.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The item weight is approximately 1.73 KG for a pair, making them relatively lightweight for safety footwear.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the dial is fully pushed in before turning. Check for debris around the dial and lacing channels; clean with a small brush or compressed air. If persistent, contact customer support.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose despite adjustment

Ensure you are pushing the dial in correctly to engage and pulling it out to release. Try adjusting the fit while standing to simulate normal wear pressure. Ensure socks are of consistent thickness.

Water is seeping into the shoes

While designed to be waterproof, extreme submersion or damage to the shoe material or seals can compromise waterproofing. Inspect for any tears or damage. Ensure the shoe is fully dry inside before wearing.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The slip-resistant sole is designed for general use. Very smooth or contaminated surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure soles are clean of mud, oil, or other substances that could reduce traction. If slip issues persist on intended surfaces, consult the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These safety shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the fit using the BOA® Fit System:

  1. Ensure the shoe is placed comfortably on your foot.
  2. Push the BOA® dial inwards to engage the lacing system.
  3. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten the laces until a snug, secure fit is achieved.
  4. To loosen, pull the BOA® dial outwards and the laces will release.

Compatibility:

  • Safety Standards: Compliant with EN 20345 S1, suitable for environments requiring basic protective toe caps and resistance to penetration.
  • Work Environments: Ideal for construction, light industrial, warehousing, and trades where foot protection is paramount.
  • Footwear: Designed for regular shoe width, fitting most adult foot types.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Lining: The air mesh lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure it dries thoroughly to prevent odor.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush to remove debris. A damp cloth can be used for general cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and protect from dust.
