FAQs

How do I adjust the BOA Fit System?

To tighten, push the dial down and turn it clockwise. To loosen, pull the dial outwards. For full release, pull the dial all the way out.

Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Helly Tech® waterproof membrane and a waterproof nubuck leather upper, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What is the advantage of a composite toe cap?

Composite toe caps offer excellent protection against impact and crushing hazards while being lighter and non-conductive compared to traditional steel toe caps.

Can I wear these boots in hot weather?

While they have a breathable air mesh lining, they are primarily designed for durability and protection in various work conditions. For extreme heat, consider ventilation options.

What is the warranty on the BOA Fit System?

The BOA Fit System comes with a lifetime guarantee as long as it remains on the product. Any issues with the lacing system can be addressed through customer support.

How should I clean and maintain the nubuck leather?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and a specialized nubuck cleaner. Periodically apply a waterproofing treatment for nubuck leather.

Do these boots have metal components?

No, these boots are metal-free, including the composite toe cap and the nail penetration protection, making them suitable for environments with metal detectors.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the dial is clean. If it has been exposed to dust or debris, try gently cleaning around the dial mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or service, as the system has a lifetime guarantee.

Boots are leaking or feet are getting wet.

Inspect the leather upper and seams for any damage. Ensure the Helly Tech membrane is intact. Clean the exterior and reapply a suitable nubuck waterproofing treatment. If the membrane is compromised, the boots may need replacement.

Discomfort or pressure points from the BOA system.

Adjust the dial for a less constrictive fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If pressure persists, try loosening the system significantly and re-tightening gradually, ensuring the laces lie flat against the foot.

Composite toe cap feels too rigid.

The composite toe is designed to be rigid for protection. Ensure you have selected the correct size. The boots may require a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort and secure fit with the BOA system.
  • Excellent protection with composite toe and metal-free penetration plate.
  • Waterproof and breathable for all-day wear in various conditions.
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe and heel.
  • Lightweight compared to traditional steel-toe boots.

Cons

  • Potential for longer delivery times during peak stock replenishment.
  • BOA system, while durable, requires specific care and may eventually need replacement.
  • Nubuck leather requires specific cleaning and conditioning to maintain water resistance.
  • May not be suitable for extreme cold without additional insulation.
  • Wide fit might not suit very narrow feet without adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The BOA Fit System is pre-installed. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise until a snug and comfortable fit is achieved. To loosen, pull the dial outwards. Ensure the dial is fully released when removing the boots.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for adult use in a professional or industrial setting. They meet safety standards for composite toe protection and metal-free penetration resistance. They are compatible with most standard workwear.

Care: Clean the nubuck leather upper regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt and debris. For stains or deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nubuck leather periodically to maintain water resistance. The Helly Tech membrane should be kept free from blockages. Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
