FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?
The robust leather upper offers good protection from penetrating moisture and is easy to clean, providing a degree of water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof.
What type of safety features do these shoes have?
They feature a non-metallic fiberglass toe cap for protection against impact and a flexible FAP midsole to prevent punctures from sharp objects.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally and consider using a leather conditioner periodically.
What is the benefit of the torsion control system?
The torsion control system supports the natural flexing action of your foot in the mid-section of the sole, enhancing stability and providing better overall support.
Can I wear these shoes for prolonged standing?
Yes, the IMPULSE.FOAM midsole and evercushion BA footbed are designed to provide cushioning and support, reducing foot fatigue during extended wear.
Are these shoes ESD certified?
The product description mentions ESD, indicating they are designed to provide electrostatic discharge protection, which is important in certain industrial environments.
What does 'MOTION 300 Degrees Resistant' mean for the outsole?
This refers to the rubber outsole's ability to withstand heat up to 300 degrees Celsius, offering protection in environments where hot surfaces are a risk.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Loosen the laces using the quick lacing system. If the issue persists, the shoes may require a break-in period or might not be the correct size. Consult the sizing guide and consider trying a different size if necessary.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt, oil, or debris that may be hindering grip.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the quick lacing system is clean and free of debris. Check that the laces are not frayed or tangled. If they are damaged, replace them with the extra pair provided.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Initial Fit Check: Before wearing for extended periods, try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically use. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and no pinching.
Lacing: Utilize the quick lacing system for a secure and adjustable fit. Adjust tightness as needed throughout the day.
Extra Laces: If the pre-installed laces are not to your preference, or for future replacement, the box includes an extra pair.
Compatibility:
Intended Use: Designed for adult males in industrial, workshop, or demanding work environments.
Sock Choice: Best worn with medium-weight socks for optimal comfort and fit. Thin socks may reduce cushioning, while very thick socks could make the fit too tight.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning the Leather: After use, wipe away dirt and debris with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
Outsole: Clean the outsole treads with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that could affect grip.
