Product Information
Full details
The UPOWER Monaco safety shoes are designed for adult professionals in demanding work environments, offering a precise, micro-adjustable fit and robust protection. While they excel in comfort and durability, users might find the specific S3 CI SRC ESD rating a niche requirement for some general applications. Key features include a water-repellent and abrasion-resistant PUTEK STAR® upper, breathable Wingtex® lining, and a WOW2 insole with an anti-fatigue insert for all-day comfort. They meet S3 CI SRC ESD protection standards, featuring an AirToe Composite toe cap and Save&Flex Plus® anti-puncture system, with special protection against cold in the sole.

FAQs
What does S3 CI SRC ESD mean for these shoes?
S3 indicates protection against penetration and absorption of water, oil resistance, and high-level mechanical protection. CI signifies insulation against cold. SRC denotes the highest level of slip resistance. ESD means the shoes are designed to reduce electrostatic discharge, crucial in certain environments.
How do I clean the PUTEK STAR® upper?
Use a damp cloth with water to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Can the WOW2 insole be replaced?
Yes, the WOW2 insole can be removed and replaced with a compatible insole or orthotic if needed. Ensure any replacement insole does not compromise the shoe's safety certifications.
Are these shoes suitable for very hot weather?
The Wingtex® lining and breathable upper offer good ventilation. However, like all safety footwear designed for protection and durability, they may feel warmer than casual shoes in extreme heat. The focus is on maintaining a healthy foot microclimate.
How durable is the BOA® Fit System?
The BOA® Fit System is engineered for durability and tested rigorously. However, like any mechanical component, it can be susceptible to damage from extreme impacts or excessive grit. Proper care and avoiding misuse will prolong its lifespan.
What is the warranty period for UPOWER Monaco shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is water-repellent, meaning it resists water penetration for a significant period. However, they are not fully waterproof like a rubber boot. For complete submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy water, specialized waterproof footwear would be required.
Troubleshooting
BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the laces are not tangled. Gently flex the dial and laces. If debris is visible, try cleaning around the dial mechanism with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the dial.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear.
The WOW2 insole is designed to mould to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the BOA® system is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose.
Water ingress despite water-repellent upper.
Check that the shoe is properly laced and that there are no tears or significant wear on the upper. Prolonged immersion in water may exceed the material's resistance. Ensure the shoe has fully dried before re-assessing.
Reduced anti-slip performance on the sole.
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any oil, grease, or dirt build-up which can impair grip. Check the sole tread for excessive wear; if worn down, replacement may be necessary.
