FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Helly Tech® Waterproof Membrane and waterproof nubuck leather construction designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the nubuck leather?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, as it can affect the leather's texture.

What is the benefit of the BOA Fit System?

The BOA Fit System allows for quick, one-handed, micro-adjustments to achieve a precise and secure fit throughout the day, making it easier to dial in comfort.

Can these shoes be worn in areas with metal detectors?

Yes, these shoes are metal-free, featuring a composite toe cap and a metal-free puncture-resistant plate, making them suitable for environments with metal detectors.

What kind of protection does the composite toe offer?

The composite safety toe provides protection against impact and compression hazards, meeting relevant safety standards without the added weight of steel.

How should I care for the Helly Tech® membrane?

The Helly Tech® membrane is designed for durability and requires no special cleaning. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that could degrade its performance.

What is the difference between these and standard work boots?

These shoes are low-cut safety shoes, offering a balance of protection and flexibility. They feature a metal-free design and the BOA Fit System for enhanced adjustability and comfort, distinguishing them from traditional work boots.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the dial is fully engaged (pushed in). Check for debris lodged around the dial mechanism and clean gently with a soft brush or compressed air.

Shoes feel too tight/loose after adjustment.

Pull the BOA dial outwards to fully release the tension, then re-engage and tighten incrementally while wearing the shoe. Ensure the laces are not tangled.

Water is leaking into the shoes.

Inspect the Helly Tech® membrane and leather for any visible tears or damage. Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the outsole treads to remove any mud, oil, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the footwear is appropriate for the specific surface conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. The BOA Fit System is engaged by pushing the dial in and turning it clockwise to tighten. To loosen, pull the dial outwards.

Compatibility: Designed for general work environments, including construction, manufacturing, and maintenance. Suitable for sites requiring metal-free footwear. Always confirm specific site safety regulations.

Care:

  • Leather Upper: Clean nubuck leather with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid excessive water saturation.
  • Waterproof Membrane: The Helly Tech® membrane requires no special care but should not be exposed to harsh chemicals that could degrade its properties.
  • Sole: Wipe the sole clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the tread is free from excessive mud or debris for optimal grip.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet.
