FAQs
What does S3 CI SRC ESD mean?
S3 indicates protection against penetration and absorption of water, with a resistant sole and toecap. CI means protection against cold. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance. ESD means the footwear has electrostatic dissipative properties, reducing the risk of ignition from static discharge.
How do I adjust the BOA® Fit System correctly?
To tighten, push the dial down and turn clockwise. To release, pull the dial outwards. Adjust until you achieve a secure and comfortable fit without any pressure points.
Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, the PUTEK STAR® upper is water-repellent, and the S3 rating ensures protection against water penetration and absorption.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the WOW2 insole is removable and can be replaced with a compatible insole. However, using non-approved insoles might affect the shoe's safety certifications and comfort properties.
What is the primary benefit of the WOW2 insole?
The WOW2 insole provides extended comfort and well-being through its self-modelling properties and an anti-fatigue insert that alleviates stress from prolonged standing and walking.
How resistant is the PUTEK STAR® upper?
The PUTEK STAR® material is highly resistant to abrasion, ensuring durability even in demanding work environments, and is also water-repellent and breathable.
What is the protection class for these shoes?
These shoes meet the requirements of protection class S3, CI, SRC, and ESD.
Troubleshooting
BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the dial is clean and free from debris. Gently try to wiggle the dial while turning. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions around the dial mechanism.
Foot feels cold despite CI rating
The CI rating provides protection against cold, but extreme conditions may still impact perceived warmth. Ensure socks are dry and appropriately insulating. Verify that no gaps exist around the shoe's collar where cold air could enter.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the sole of the shoe to remove any oil, dirt, or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the footwear is appropriate for the specific surface being walked on.
Insole feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear
The WOW2 insole is designed to adapt over time. Ensure the BOA® system is correctly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if an alternative insole might be needed, though this may affect official safety ratings.
