FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?
These trainers are designed primarily for dry environments. While the sole offers some resistance to oil and anti-slip properties, they are not waterproof and may not perform optimally in consistently wet conditions.
What does S1P SRC ESD mean?
S1P indicates basic safety protection, including a protective toecap and puncture-resistant sole. SRC denotes the highest level of slip resistance. ESD means the footwear is designed to discharge electrostatic energy, preventing buildup.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is adequate space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and the heel does not slip when walking. The shoe should feel snug but not tight. Refer to the U-Power sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with compatible ones if needed, such as custom orthotics. Ensure the replacement insole does not compromise the shoe's safety features.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Information regarding specific warranty periods should be checked with the retailer or U-Power directly, as warranties can vary by region and purchase date.
Are these shoes suitable for women?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.
How durable is the nylon upper?
The nylon upper is combined with an abrasion-resistant scuff cap to enhance durability. While breathable, it is designed to withstand the rigors of typical professional use.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to secure properly
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets correctly. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, durable laces.
Foot feels warm or sweaty
This can occur in very high temperatures. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. For extreme heat, consider alternative footwear if available and permitted by workplace safety regulations.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for slip resistance, effectiveness can vary by surface. Ensure the sole is free from debris or oil buildup. For extremely slick surfaces, additional caution may be necessary.
Toecap feels uncomfortable
Ensure the correct shoe size is selected. The aluminium toecap is designed to be unobtrusive, but a poor fit can cause discomfort. Consult the sizing guide and try different lacing techniques.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
