FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for heavy-duty construction work?

Yes, with their composite toe cap, kevlar midsole, and S3 WR SRC rating, they are designed for demanding environments including heavy-duty work.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

We recommend referring to the size guide provided and trying the trainers on indoors. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and the heel does not slip.

What does 'SRC Rated' mean for the soles?

SRC rating means the soles have been tested for slip resistance on both ceramic tiles with detergent and steel floors with glycerol, offering superior grip.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, waterproofing, and structural integrity of the trainers.

What is the 'Six-Month Sole Commitment'?

It is a guarantee that if the soles of your trainers break, wear out, or show defects within six months of purchase, they will be replaced.

Are the composite toe caps metal?

No, the toe caps are made of composite material, which is lighter than steel and non-conductive.

How do I maintain the leather's waterproof properties?

After cleaning, you can apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing spray specifically designed for work boots to help maintain the material's protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel uncomfortable or tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Check if the laces are tied too tightly.

Water is seeping through

Inspect the trainers for any visible tears or damage to the leather or seams. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather if necessary. Ensure laces are snug to prevent water entry at the top.

Soles show signs of wear

Assess the wear against the 'Six-Month Sole Commitment'. If the soles break, wear out, or defect within six months, contact customer support for a replacement.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the soles thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, oil, or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the surface itself is not excessively contaminated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and safety. It is recommended to try them on indoors before wearing them outside.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male use in industrial, construction, or general outdoor work environments. They comply with EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 WR SRC safety standards.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the soles for wear and tear, and the stitching for any damage. Treat the leather with a suitable conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
