Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Work Flex Advantage SR - Bronwood is designed for adult males working in environments that require slip-resistant footwear. Its key benefit is combining reliable safety features like slip-resistance and water repellency with everyday comfort, thanks to a memory foam insole. A potential caveat is that these are occupational/non-safety shoes, meaning they do not offer toe protection like steel-toe boots. This model features a smooth leather and synthetic upper, a slip-on design, and meets EN ISO 20347:2012 standards.

FAQs
Are these shoes considered safety shoes with toe protection?
No, the Skechers Work Flex Advantage SR - Bronwood are classified as occupational shoes, meeting EN ISO 20347:2012 standards for slip resistance and other occupational requirements. They do not have reinforced toe caps like steel-toe or composite-toe safety shoes.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather and synthetic upper with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What does 'Relaxed Fit' mean?
Relaxed Fit means the shoes offer a roomier fit in the toe and forefoot area compared to standard fits, providing enhanced comfort, especially during extended wear.
Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, the shoes feature a water-repellent upper to help keep feet dry from light splashes and moisture, and they have a slip-resistant outsole designed for wet surfaces.
Can I replace the Memory Foam insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with your preferred aftermarket insole if needed for additional support or cushioning.
What is the primary advantage of the outsole?
The primary advantage of the outsole is its slip-resistant traction, designed to meet EN ISO 20347:2012 standards for enhanced grip on various work surfaces.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
Yes, this model is often available in other colors, such as black, in addition to the white variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The 'Relaxed Fit' design offers a roomier fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct. For tightness, ensure the upper material is fully loosened (though these are slip-ons, the material can stretch slightly). For looseness, consider using an insole insert for a snugger feel.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the slip-resistant outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt, grease, or debris that may be hindering grip.
Water repellency decreases over time
Water repellency can diminish with wear. Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for synthetic materials, following the product's instructions. Reapply periodically as needed.
Insole is uncomfortable or losing cushioning
The Memory Foam insole provides initial cushioning. If it loses its comfort, consider replacing it with a supportive aftermarket insole designed for comfort and cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for general occupational use. They are compatible with standard work attire and suitable for indoor environments where slip resistance is a priority. Not intended for use in environments requiring safety-toe protection (e.g., steel toe or composite toe).
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the smooth leather and synthetic upper with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Memory Foam insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely before wearing.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry towel to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Outsole Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris and clean with a brush if necessary to ensure optimal traction.
