Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the perforated suede upper and breathable lining are specifically designed to enhance airflow and keep feet cool in warm conditions.

What level of safety protection do these trainers offer?

These trainers meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P standards, which include a steel toe cap for impact protection and a steel midsole for puncture resistance.

How do I clean and maintain the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive water and direct heat.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede material is best suited for dry environments. Prolonged exposure to water is not recommended.

What does 'SRC slip-resistant outsole' mean?

SRC is the highest slip resistance rating, meaning the outsole has been tested and proven to provide excellent grip on both ceramic tiles (with soap) and steel floors (with oil).

Are these trainers anti-static?

Yes, the trainers feature anti-static properties, which helps to dissipate static electricity, a valuable feature in certain work environments.

What is the energy-absorbing seat region?

This refers to the heel area of the shoe, designed to absorb shock impacts when walking or standing, helping to reduce fatigue during long working days.

Troubleshooting

Reduced breathability over time

Ensure the perforations are not blocked by dirt or debris. Clean the upper regularly as per care instructions.

Slipping on certain surfaces

While the outsole is SRC rated, always exercise caution on extremely slick or contaminated surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from oil or grease.

Discomfort after initial wear

The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Suede material showing wear

Use a suede protector spray for added resistance against stains and moisture. Follow specific suede cleaning guides for best results.
