Full details
The U-POWER MONACO ESD S3 CI SRC Safety Trainer is designed for adult professionals requiring robust protection in demanding work environments. Its key benefit lies in its advanced safety features and superior comfort, including a BOA® Fit System for a precise fit and a self-modelling insole for extended wear. A potential caveat is its specific S3 CI SRC ESD protection class, which may be more than required for less hazardous roles.

FAQs
What does S3 CI SRC ESD protection mean?
S3 indicates resistance to water penetration and absorption, a protective mid-sole, and a composite toe cap. CI signifies protection against cold. SRC denotes the highest level of slip resistance. ESD means the shoes are designed to safely discharge static electricity.
How do I adjust the BOA® Fit System?
To tighten, push the dial down and turn it clockwise. To loosen, pull the dial straight up.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes have water-repellent uppers and are resistant to water penetration as per S3 standards, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion. They are designed to keep feet dry in most working conditions.
Can I wear these for casual use?
While comfortable, these are safety shoes with specific protection features. They are best suited for professional environments where such safety standards are required.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
It is recommended to reapply waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after cleaning or when you notice a decrease in water repellency, typically every few months depending on usage.
What is the benefit of the self-modelling insole?
The WOW2 self-modelling insole adapts to the wearer's foot shape and includes an anti-fatigue insert to reduce stress and evenly distribute body weight, enhancing comfort during long working hours.
Are the materials breathable?
Yes, the shoes feature a Wingtex® lining with an air tunnel system designed for high breathability, helping to maintain a comfortable microclimate for the feet.
Troubleshooting
BOA® Fit System is difficult to tighten or release.
Ensure the dial is fully pushed in before turning to tighten. If releasing, pull the dial straight out. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
Feet feel cold despite insulation.
While the CI rating offers protection against cold, extremely low temperatures combined with thin socks might still lead to discomfort. Consider wearing thicker, insulated socks.
Reduced water repellency after some use.
Clean the shoes thoroughly and reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical footwear materials.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from oil, grease, or other contaminants. The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance, but the surface condition is also a factor.
Toe cap feels uncomfortable or causes pressure.
Verify you have the correct shoe size and width. The AirToe Composite toe cap is designed for comfort, but improper fit can lead to pressure points.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Water Repellency: To maintain water repellency, use appropriate waterproofing sprays designed for footwear after cleaning.
- Insole Care: The WOW2 insole can be removed for separate airing or gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
