Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the fit using the BOA Fit System.
- Lace Up: Put the boot on as you would a normal shoe.
- Tighten: Push the BOA dial down to engage it, then turn the dial clockwise until the boot feels snug and secure. Do not overtighten.
- Loosen: Pull the BOA dial outwards to release the tension, then remove the boot.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for general work environments. The metal-free construction makes them compatible with metal detectors often found in secure facilities. They are suitable for use across various trades including construction, manufacturing, logistics, and maintenance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the nubuck leather upper with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner.
- Waterproofing: Regularly inspect the HELLY TECH® membrane and leather for any damage. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray for leather and textiles periodically to maintain water resistance.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using boot trees to help maintain their shape.
