FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of construction work?

Yes, the composite toe and puncture-resistant plate provide protection for most construction environments. Always ensure they meet specific site safety regulations.

How do I clean the Helly Tech waterproof membrane?

The membrane is inside the shoe. For exterior cleaning, follow the leather care instructions. For internal cleaning, use a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals.

What is the benefit of the BOA Fit System?

The BOA Fit System allows for quick, precise, and secure micro-adjustments to the shoe's fit with a simple turn of the dial, providing consistent comfort and support throughout the day.

Can I replace the BOA laces if they break?

Yes, BOA laces are designed to be replaceable. Replacement kits are typically available from BOA or authorized retailers.

How do I know if I have the right size, given the roomy fit?

It is recommended to try them on. Consider your usual sock thickness. If you are between sizes, the roomy fit might accommodate a thicker sock or an insole, but ensure the heel does not slip.

Are these shoes slip-resistant?

The product description does not specify slip-resistance ratings. Check the sole for grip patterns suitable for your work environment.

What is the warranty period for these safety shoes?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the Helly Hansen website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty turning the BOA dial

Ensure the dial is fully in the locked position. Clean any debris around the dial and lace pathways. If it persists, contact customer support.

Shoes feel wet inside despite being waterproof

Check for any tears or damage to the Helly Tech membrane. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Excessive perspiration can also contribute to internal dampness; consider alternative sock materials.

Foot discomfort after wearing

Re-adjust the BOA Fit System for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size, considering the wide, roomy fit. Consider using insoles if additional arch support is needed.

Leather upper shows signs of wear or cracking

Clean the shoes regularly and apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment to keep the material supple and protected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-day comfort.
  • Secure and easily adjustable fit thanks to the BOA system.
  • Comprehensive safety features including metal-free toe and sole protection.
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe and heel areas.
  • Comfortable for long shifts due to the roomy fit and cushioning.

Cons

  • May require trying on to confirm fit due to the wide, roomy design.
  • Leather upper may require specific care to maintain waterproofing.
  • BOA system, while convenient, could be a potential point of failure over time.
  • Not suitable for extreme cold environments without additional insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup beyond adjusting the fit using the integrated BOA Fit System. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise. To loosen, pull the dial up and then turn it counter-clockwise.

Compatibility: The Helly Hansen 78400 Oxford shoes are designed for general work environments requiring safety footwear. They are compatible with most standard work attire. Ensure your work environment does not require specific non-composite toe protection.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents.
  • Waterproofing: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear to maintain its water-resistant properties.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the leather and membrane.
  • BOA System: Keep the dial and lace clean from excessive dirt to ensure smooth operation.
