Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Work Flex Advantage SR Bronwood shoes are designed for adult males seeking comfort and safety in a work environment. Their key benefit is the combination of a relaxed fit, slip-resistant sole, and water-repellent features, offering surefootedness and protection. A potential caveat is that while they offer slip resistance, they are categorized as occupational/non-safety shoes, meaning they may not meet stringent safety requirements for all industrial settings. These shoes feature a smooth leather and synthetic upper, a cushioned Memory Foam insole, and are built for everyday wear with an emphasis on reliable traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes considered safety shoes?
No, the Skechers Work Flex Advantage SR Bronwood shoes are classified as occupational/non-safety shoes. They feature a slip-resistant sole and are water-repellent, but they do not have reinforced toe caps or other protective features typically found in safety-rated footwear.
What is the main benefit of the 'Relaxed Fit®' design?
The Relaxed Fit® design provides a roomier fit in the toe and forefoot area, offering enhanced comfort and more space for your feet, especially during long working hours.
How do I clean the leather and synthetic upper?
Wipe the upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner and apply it sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The shoes have a water-repellent upper which helps to resist moisture and minor spills. However, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water may still result in the shoes becoming wet.
What type of surfaces are the slip-resistant soles effective on?
The slip-resistant soles are designed to provide reliable traction on most common indoor workplace surfaces, including dry, smooth, and moderately wet floors. They are not intended for extremely slippery or hazardous industrial environments.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height is flat, under 2.5cm, contributing to comfort and stability throughout the day.
What material is the insole made of?
The shoes feature a cushioned Skechers Memory Foam™ insole, designed to provide personalized comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Relaxed Fit® design provides extra room, but if discomfort persists, consider wearing them with thinner socks or allowing them to break in gradually over a few days.
Reduced slip resistance.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt, grease, or debris that may be hindering traction. Check for any embedded objects in the sole.
Water is soaking through the upper.
The water-repellent feature may have worn off. Clean the shoes and apply a suitable water-repellent spray designed for leather and synthetic materials. Note that these are water-repellent, not waterproof, and prolonged submersion will still lead to water ingress.
Odor inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out in the morning. Consider using anti-odor shoe sprays.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the smooth leather and synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Memory Foam insole can be aired out. If necessary, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
