FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Helly Tech® waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I adjust the fit with the BOA system?
To tighten, turn the BOA dial clockwise. To loosen or remove the shoe, pull the dial straight outwards.
What is the benefit of the composite safety toe?
The composite toe provides protection against impacts and compression while being lighter and non-conductive compared to traditional steel toes. It is also ideal for environments with metal detectors.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
While they have a breathable air mesh lining, they are designed with waterproofing as a primary feature, which can sometimes reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are best suited for moderate to wet conditions.
What is the advantage of the wide fit?
The wide fit is designed to provide more comfort for individuals with broader feet, reducing pressure points and increasing comfort during long periods of wear.
How should I clean and maintain the waterproofing?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Periodically treat the exterior with a waterproofing spray designed for synthetic materials and membranes. Allow to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for industrial environments with electrical hazards?
While the composite toe is non-conductive, these shoes are not specifically rated for electrical hazard protection. Always check local safety regulations and product specifications for specific hazard ratings.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the dial and cable are clean. Use a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. If stiffness persists, check for any visible damage to the cable or housing.
Water is leaking into the shoe
Inspect the Helly Tech® membrane for any tears or punctures. Ensure all seams are intact. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the exterior.
Foot fatigue after a full day's wear
Verify the BOA system is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the wide fit is suitable for your foot shape. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional cushioning is desired.
Difficulty releasing the BOA dial
Pull the BOA dial straight outwards firmly. Ensure there is no obstruction around the dial mechanism. If it remains stuck, contact customer support.
