FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they are engineered with a waterproof construction to keep feet dry in wet working environments.
Are they 100% metal-free?
Yes, the Inductor series uses composite materials for the toe cap and midsole, making them completely metal-free.
Can I use custom insoles?
Yes, the PU footbed is removable, allowing you to swap it out for custom orthotics if needed.
What does the S7S safety rating mean?
S7S signifies that the footwear is waterproof, has a protective toe cap, and offers puncture resistance along with antistatic properties.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth with mild soap to clean stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can these boots handle 300-degree heat?
The outsole is heat-resistant to contact temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on oil or grease that may be obstructing the tread pattern.
Interior feels damp or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks and allow the boots to fully air out in a well-ventilated area between uses.
Static build-up is still occurring
Check that the interior of the boot and your socks are clean, as excessive dust can sometimes interfere with ESD grounding performance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fully metal-free design passes through security checkpoints easily
- Lightweight build reduces fatigue during long work days
- Meets rigorous EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 S7S safety standards
- Excellent heat resistance for extreme work environments
Cons
- Not intended for non-static-sensitive environments where heavy-duty leather might be preferred for extreme abrasion
- Mid-hiker design offers less ankle support than high-cut traditional boots
- Requires proper care to maintain waterproof integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the boot size fits with the type of work socks you intend to wear. The boots include a removable PU footbed; if you require custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-supplied insert first.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe off loose dirt, oil, or chemicals using a damp cloth after every shift.
- Do not use heat sources like radiators to dry wet boots, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives; air dry at room temperature instead.
- Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded sharp objects to maintain traction and prevent penetration.
- Replace the footbed if it loses its cushioning, as this is vital for maintaining the energy-absorption properties.
