FAQs

What does S1P SRC certification mean?

S1P indicates basic safety requirements including a 200-joule toe cap, antistatic properties, and energy absorption in the heel. SRC means the shoes have been tested for slip resistance on ceramic tiles with soap and on a steel floor with glycerol, offering the highest level of slip resistance.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The description highlights breathable materials, which typically means they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for protection and comfort in occupational settings, not necessarily for prolonged exposure to water.

What is the warranty on the soles?

Black Hammer offers an exclusive six-month sole warranty, covering defects in the sole's material and workmanship.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

While comfortable, these trainers are specifically designed and certified for workplace safety. Their robust construction and safety features may be more than needed for casual wear, and they are best utilized in their intended occupational environments.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to sizing charts provided by the manufacturer. It is recommended to try them on at the end of the day when feet are typically slightly larger. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel does not slip.

Are the materials used durable?

Yes, the trainers are constructed from quality materials, designed to be durable and long-lasting for demanding work environments.

Troubleshooting

Reduced slip resistance

Clean the soles thoroughly with water and a brush to remove accumulated oil, dirt, or debris. Ensure you are wearing them in environments they are rated for (SRC).

Discomfort during long wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check lacing for proper tightness. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional cushioning is required. Allow a break-in period.

Breathability seems limited

Ensure the breathable materials are not obstructed by excessive dirt or debris. Allow shoes to air out between uses. Note that breathable features can be less pronounced in extremely hot or humid conditions.

Visible wear on soles

Inspect soles for significant wear that may compromise grip. If wear is substantial within the six-month sole warranty period, contact customer support with proof of purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These safety trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable and effective fit. Proper lacing is essential to secure the foot and maximize the benefits of the internal cushioning and support.

Compatibility: The Black Hammer Safety Trainers are designed to meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P SRC standards, making them compatible with general workplace safety requirements in industries such as warehousing, construction, manufacturing, and food service. They are suitable for use in environments where protection against impact, compression, slip, oil, and static discharge is mandated or recommended.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Insoles: For hygiene and comfort, removable insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or replacement.
  3. Soles: Regularly check the treads for wear and debris. Clean any accumulated dirt or oil to maintain optimal slip resistance.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the materials and shape.
