FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of construction sites?

Yes, they are designed for general work environments with safety requirements, including composite toe and puncture protection, making them suitable for most construction sites.

How do I clean the Helly Tech® waterproof membrane?

Wipe the exterior of the membrane with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Can I replace the BOA system if it breaks?

Yes, replacement BOA components are typically available through authorized Helly Hansen service centers or BOA's official channels.

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The Helly Tech® waterproof membrane provides a high level of water resistance, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions, but they are not designed for complete submersion.

What is the main advantage of the BOA Fit System?

The main advantage is the ability to achieve a precise, secure, and consistent fit with easy one-handed adjustments, which can be done quickly without removing gloves.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Helly Hansen or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The 'UK 6.5' refers to the UK sizing standard.

Are the composite toe and puncture plate heavy?

Composite materials are generally lighter than traditional steel toe caps and plates, contributing to the overall comfort and reduced fatigue.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or won't turn

Check for any debris lodged in the dial mechanism. Gently clean around the dial with a small brush. Ensure the dial is in the correct position (pushed down to tighten, pulled up to release).

Water is seeping into the shoe

Inspect the shoe for any damage to the Helly Tech® membrane or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly seated to create a good seal. Clean the shoe and allow it to dry completely, then test for leaks.

Foot discomfort or pressure points

Re-adjust the BOA system for a more even fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the correct size or width for your foot.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Check the tread pattern for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole. If wear is significant, consider replacement as the tread life may have been reached.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort in various conditions.
  • Secure and easily adjustable fit with the BOA system.
  • Lightweight and durable construction with metal-free safety features.
  • Comfortable cushioning and a roomy fit suitable for long hours.
  • Resistant to job site hazards with composite toe and puncture plate.

Cons

  • The BOA Fit System may require a learning curve for some users.
  • While durable, the specific material may show wear in extremely abrasive environments.
  • The unisex design and roomy fit might not be ideal for those needing a very narrow shoe.
  • Replacement parts for the BOA system may need to be ordered specifically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The BOA Fit System requires no complex setup. To tighten, simply push the dial down and rotate it clockwise until the desired snugness is achieved. To loosen, pull the dial up. Ensure the shoes are the correct size before your first wear.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general work environments requiring safety footwear. They are compatible with most standard work attire. The metal-free construction makes them suitable for environments with metal detectors or sensitive electronic equipment.

Care: Clean the leather upper with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the Helly Tech® membrane, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Periodically check the BOA system for debris and ensure the dial turns freely.
