FAQs

Are these trainers truly waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with waterproof materials and designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, as indicated by the WR (Water Resistant) rating in their EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 WR SRC certification.

What safety standards do these trainers meet?

These trainers are CE CERTIFIED and comply with EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 WR SRC safety regulations. This means they offer protection against impacts, penetration, and have water resistance and slip resistance features.

Can I wear these for casual use?

While comfortable, these trainers are designed with safety features for work environments. Their robust construction might be more than needed for casual wear, but they can certainly be worn if desired.

How should I clean the genuine leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner and allow the trainers to air dry away from direct heat. Periodically conditioning the leather will maintain its quality.

What does SRC rated mean for the soles?

SRC rated means the soles have passed the highest level of slip resistance testing, covering both ceramic and steel floor surfaces, including oil resistance.

Is the toe cap made of metal?

No, these trainers feature a composite toe cap, which is lighter than steel and does not conduct electricity, offering excellent protection.

What is the benefit of a Kevlar midsole?

A Kevlar midsole provides protection against sharp objects penetrating the sole, preventing injuries from nails or other debris.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite being waterproof

Ensure all seams are intact. If water penetrates through the material, check for damage to the leather or mesh. Allow trainers to dry completely and inspect for any holes or tears. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Reduced slip resistance

Clean the soles thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt, oil, or debris that can impede traction. If the sole material appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the trainers gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Ensure socks are appropriate and not bunched up.

Material stiffness after drying

Apply a leather conditioner to the upper to restore flexibility. Avoid drying the trainers near direct heat sources like radiators, which can make the leather brittle.
