Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The upper is constructed from water and abrasion-resistant materials. While they can withstand light rain and splashes, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water is not recommended.

How do I properly clean the BOA® Fit System?

The dial and lace of the BOA® system can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure no debris obstructs the mechanism.

What does 'S3S' rating mean for these boots?

S3S is a safety classification under EN ISO 20345:2022 standards. It indicates the boots have a protective toecap, penetration resistance, and water-repellent properties, along with additional requirements like energy absorption in the heel and resistance to fuels. The 'S' may denote specific supplementary requirements met.

Can I wear these boots in very hot weather?

The boots feature a breathable lining to help manage moisture. However, they are safety boots designed for protection and may feel warm in extremely hot conditions compared to lighter footwear.

What is the difference between the EVA and eTPU in the midsole?

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is known for its cushioning and shock absorption, while eTPU (expanded Thermoplastic Polyurethane) offers better energy return and durability. The combination aims to provide a balanced feel of comfort and responsiveness.

Is the composite toe as protective as a steel toe?

Yes, a composite safety toe meets the same protective standards as a steel toe for impact and compression resistance, while being lighter and non-conductive.

How often should I replace these safety boots?

The lifespan of safety boots depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. Regularly inspect them for signs of wear, damage to the sole, or compromised upper. Replace them when safety features are no longer fully functional or when significant damage occurs.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Gently clean the dial and surrounding lace area with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure the laces are not tangled.

Boots feel uncomfortable after extended wear

Re-adjust the BOA® Fit System for a more precise fit. Ensure the socks worn are appropriate for work boots and are not bunched up. Consider the possibility that the boot size may not be optimal for your foot shape.

Water resistance seems reduced

Inspect the upper for any damage or wear. Clean the boots according to care instructions. For enhanced water repellency, consider applying a suitable footwear waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic materials, following the product's instructions.

Lining feels damp

Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Allow boots to air dry thoroughly after use, especially in humid conditions. Use moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Helly Hansen 78360 Kensington MXR Mid BOA S3S Safety Boots are ready to wear out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the BOA® Fit System. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. To loosen, pull the dial outwards. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed across the foot before tightening for optimal comfort and pressure distribution.

Compatibility: These boots are rated for general industrial use and meet safety standards for composite toe protection (EN ISO 20347:2022 - O1), slip resistance (SR), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) (BS EN IEC 61340-4-3:2018). They are suitable for use in environments where metal-free safety footwear is required or preferred. Compatibility with specific site requirements should always be verified.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of the boots:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the microfiber and ripstop polyester upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Lining: The moisture-wicking lining can be cleaned by gently wiping with a damp cloth. Ensure the inside is dry before wearing.
  4. BOA® System: Keep the dial and lace clean. If debris obstructs the dial, gently clean it with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid forcing the dial if it feels stiff.
  5. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight.
