FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the boots feature a Helly Tech waterproof membrane and a waterproof nubuck leather upper, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the advantage of the BOA Fit System?
The BOA Fit System allows for quick, precise, and effortless adjustment of the boot's fit with a simple dial turn, ensuring a secure and comfortable feel throughout the day.
Can I wear these boots in cold weather?
While designed for comfort and protection, these boots do not feature specific insulation for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks.
How do I clean and maintain the nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow boots to air dry naturally.
Are these boots suitable for environments with electrical hazards?
Yes, the metal-free construction, including the composite toe cap and puncture-resistant plate, makes them suitable for environments where electrical hazards are a concern.
What is the difference between composite toe and steel toe?
Composite toes are made from non-metal materials, making them lighter and non-conductive, ideal for environments with metal detectors or electrical risks. Steel toes offer a high level of impact protection but can be heavier and conduct electricity and temperature.
How often should I check the Helly Tech membrane?
Regularly inspect the boots for any visible damage to the fabric or seams that could compromise the waterproof integrity of the Helly Tech membrane.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the dial and surrounding lace area are free from dirt and debris. Gently clean with a damp cloth. If persistent, check the BOA system manufacturer's guidelines for specific cleaning or lubrication recommendations.
Boots feel wet inside despite being waterproof.
This may be due to perspiration rather than leakage. Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is functioning and allow boots to air dry completely between wears. Check for any physical damage to the Helly Tech membrane.
Composite toe feels uncomfortable or restrictive.
Confirm you have selected the correct size. The wide fit design may require additional cushioning or an insert for very narrow feet. Break in the boots gradually.
Leather surface appears dry or scuffed.
Clean the boots with a soft brush. Apply a suitable nubuck conditioner or waterproofing spray designed for this type of leather to restore appearance and protection. Avoid excessive product application.

Care:
