Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Work Cessnock SR trainers are designed for adult men seeking all-day comfort and protection in a work environment. Their key benefit is a combination of slip-resistance, water repellency, and a comfortable cushioned insole, making them ideal for various service or light industrial roles. A potential caveat is that while they offer comfort, they are not safety-rated for heavy impact or protection beyond slip and anti-static resistance.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
These trainers are water-resistant and feature a water-repellent upper, meaning they can handle splashes and light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
What type of work environments are these best suited for?
They are ideal for roles in food service, retail, hospitality, light manufacturing, and other environments where slip resistance and all-day comfort are key, but heavy-duty safety features like steel toes are not required.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired.
How do I clean the Skech-Knit upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
What does EN ISO 20347:2012 mean?
This is a European standard for occupational footwear. It certifies that the shoes meet specific requirements for comfort, safety features like slip resistance, and basic protection, but they are not classified as safety shoes (which have additional protective features like toe caps).
Are these considered safety shoes?
No, these are occupational/non-safety trainers. They meet EN ISO 20347:2012 standards, which focus on comfort and basic safety aspects like slip resistance and anti-static properties, but they do not have reinforced toes or other heavy-duty safety features.
What is the 'Relaxed Fit®' feature?
Relaxed Fit® signifies that the shoes have a roomier fit, particularly in the toe and forefoot area, designed to provide enhanced comfort and reduce pressure during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Skech-Knit upper and stretch laces are designed to offer a flexible fit. Try wearing them with slightly thicker socks initially, or allow a short break-in period. The Relaxed Fit® design should provide ample room.
Water resistance seems reduced
The water-repellent treatment can diminish over time with heavy use. Reapply a suitable fabric protector spray designed for work footwear to restore water repellency. Ensure the shoe is clean before application.
Traction on slippery surfaces is still poor
While the outsole is slip-resistant, extreme conditions can still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris, oil, or other contaminants that could reduce grip. For exceptionally hazardous environments, specialized footwear might be required.
Insole feels flat or lacks cushioning
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. If it feels flat, ensure it is properly seated. If significant cushioning loss occurs prematurely, check the warranty for potential replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use straight out of the box. Their slip-on nature with stretch laces requires no initial lacing or adjustment beyond ensuring a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The Skechers Work Cessnock SR trainers are suitable for most standard adult male footwear sizes. They are designed to meet EN ISO 20347:2012 occupational footwear standards, making them compatible with workplace requirements that mandate this level of protection.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To maintain the water-repellent and stain-resistant properties, clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the Skech-Knit material.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can warp the material and affect the adhesive.
- Insole Maintenance: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can be removed for occasional airing or spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting.
