FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof, or just water-resistant?
These shoes feature a Helly Tech® Waterproof Membrane, designed to provide true waterproofing, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
How durable is the BOA® Fit System?
The BOA® Fit System is engineered for durability and is rigorously tested. The L6 model is designed for reliable performance in demanding work environments.
Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?
While the shoes have a moisture-wicking and breathable lining, they are designed with waterproofing as a primary feature. For extremely hot conditions, breathability might be less optimal compared to non-waterproof options.
What is the advantage of a composite toe over a steel toe?
Composite toes are lighter than steel toes, do not conduct heat or cold, and are less likely to set off metal detectors, offering comparable safety without the drawbacks of metal.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of construction sites?
Yes, they are suitable for most construction environments requiring safety footwear due to their protective features like the composite toe and nail penetration protection. Always confirm compliance with specific site safety regulations.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
If you typically find standard-width safety shoes constricting or uncomfortable after a few hours, the wide fit is likely to provide better comfort.
What is the 'metal-free nail penetration protection'?
This feature means there is a protective layer in the sole designed to prevent sharp objects like nails from piercing through the shoe, and this layer is made without metal components.
Troubleshooting
BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the dial is fully pulled out before attempting to turn it. Clean any visible debris around the dial mechanism. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
Water is penetrating the shoes.
Check for damage to the Helly Tech® membrane or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to provide a seal. Clean the shoes as per care instructions; dirt can sometimes compromise seals.
Foot discomfort after extended wear.
Adjust the BOA® system for a looser fit during the day. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Consider if the wide fit is sufficient for your needs; different models may offer varying widths.
Lining appears worn or damaged.
Inspect for signs of excessive friction. Ensure socks are clean and free of abrasive materials. Contact customer support if the damage affects performance or comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Suitable for adult use in various industrial and outdoor work environments requiring safety footwear. Check specific workplace regulations for compliance with safety toe and metal-free requirements.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior lining, use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary, ensuring it dries naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
