Full details
The Dickies Elora safety trainers are designed for adult women seeking lightweight, metal-free safety footwear. Their primary benefit is providing comprehensive protection with comfort for all-day wear, specifically tailored for a feminine fit. A potential caveat is their construction, which may not be suitable for extremely harsh industrial environments. These trainers offer a blend of safety features including a composite toe-cap, non-metallic anti-penetration sole, anti-static properties, and superior slip resistance, all within a breathable and water-resistant design.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for men?
No, the Dickies Elora safety trainers are specifically developed and designed for ladies' feet, featuring a slimmer heel and reduced forepart measure for a tailored fit.
What does EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 SRC mean?
This certification indicates the trainers meet European safety standards. S3 signifies basic safety, penetration resistance, and water absorption resistance. SRC means they have the highest level of slip resistance tested on ceramic and steel surfaces.
How much do the trainers weigh?
The product weight is approximately 519g per trainer, based on a UK size 5.5, making them relatively lightweight for safety footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable foam insole. You can replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics, provided they do not compromise the shoe's safety features.
Are these trainers fully waterproof?
The Dickies Elora trainers offer water resistance, meaning they can withstand exposure to damp conditions and light splashes. They are not designed for full immersion in water.
What materials are used in the construction?
The trainers are made from Nubuck and mesh for the upper, with a textile lining. The sole is a dual-density EVA/rubber compound.
Is the composite toe-cap as strong as steel?
Yes, composite toe-caps meet the same impact and compression standards as steel toe-caps under EN ISO 20345 regulations, offering equivalent protection.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are not overtightened. If the fit remains uncomfortable, check if the correct size has been selected. The specific design for ladies' feet may feel different initially.
Water seeping through
While water-resistant, the trainers are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy water, consider a fully waterproof boot. Ensure no tears or damage exist in the material that could compromise water resistance.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded debris or contaminants that may be reducing grip. Check for significant wear on the sole pattern.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the removable foam insole is correctly positioned. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the fit and cushioning.

Care: To maintain the trainers' condition and performance:

- The breathable textile lining can be spot cleaned with a mild soap solution.
- Regularly inspect the sole for wear and the toe-cap for any damage.
