FAQs
What does S1P rating mean?
The S1P rating indicates the trainers meet European safety standards including: anti-static properties (A), energy-absorbing heel (E), and a penetration-resistant midsole (P). They also feature a closed seat region and are resistant to fuel oil.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers feature a breathable flyknit upper and are not designed to be fully waterproof. While they offer some protection against light moisture, they are not suitable for prolonged exposure to water or very wet conditions.
Can I wear these trainers in very hot conditions?
The breathable flyknit upper is designed to promote airflow, making them suitable for warm conditions. However, the heat resistance of the outsole is primarily for protection against contact heat, not for general insulation.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should fit snugly but comfortably. Ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes without the shoe feeling loose. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for work.
Are the composite toecap and midsole safe for all workplaces?
The composite toecap and midsole offer excellent protection (200 Joules impact and 1100 Newtons penetration resistance) and are non-metallic. This makes them suitable for most environments, including those with metal detectors, but always check specific site safety regulations.
What is the SRC slip resistance rating?
SRC is the highest slip resistance rating. It signifies that the trainers have passed slip tests on both ceramic tile with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and on steel floor with glycerol.
How should I care for the flyknit upper?
Gently wipe the flyknit upper with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with your usual work socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's specific shape is compatible with your foot.
Reduced slip resistance on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris, oil, or grease. The SRC rating provides high slip resistance, but extremely contaminated or unusual surfaces may still pose a risk. Regularly clean the soles.
Breathability seems low
The flyknit upper is designed for breathability. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. In very humid or wet conditions, breathability may be naturally reduced.
Composite toecap feels bulky
Composite toecaps are designed to be lighter than steel but still provide robust protection. Ensure the size is correct; a properly fitting shoe will minimize the perception of bulk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and safety.
Compatibility: Designed to meet EN ISO 20345:2011 (S1P) and SRC safety standards, they are compatible with most standard work environments. Their non-metallic components may offer advantages in security-sensitive areas with metal detectors.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials, especially the flyknit upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean before storing for extended periods.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the trainers for signs of wear and tear, such as damaged stitching, worn soles, or compromised toecap integrity. Replace if significant damage is observed.
