FAQs
Are these shoes actually waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof construction to protect against external moisture.
Can I put these shoes through an airport security scanner?
Because they are metal-free, they are generally less likely to trigger metal detectors than steel-toe alternatives.
What does ESD mean?
ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge, meaning the shoes are designed to reduce the risk of building up static electricity.
How do I replace the footbed?
The provided PU footbed is removable; simply pull it out and replace it with a compatible aftermarket insole if needed.
Can they withstand hot surfaces?
The outsole is heat-resistant up to 300 degrees, making them suitable for many high-heat industrial environments.
Troubleshooting
Static discharge felt while working
Check that the shoe is clean, as excessive dust or debris on the sole can inhibit ESD performance.
Interior feels damp after long use
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to assist the breathable lining with sweat management.
