Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Kensington MXR Mid BOA S3S Safety Boots are designed for adult tradesmen seeking all-day comfort and robust protection. Their key benefit is the HH DUAL-STRIDE TECHNOLOGY, offering superior cushioning and energy return. A potential caveat is the mid-height design, which may offer less ankle support than full-height boots. These boots feature water and abrasion-resistant uppers, a BOA® Fit System for precise adjustment, and composite safety toes.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the BOA® Fit System?

The BOA® Fit System allows for quick, precise, and effortless one-handed adjustments to the boot's fit, ensuring a secure and comfortable feel throughout the day without the hassle of traditional laces.

Are these boots waterproof?

The uppers are water-resistant due to the microfiber and ripstop polyester material. They are not fully waterproof for submersion but will offer protection against rain and splashes.

What type of safety protection do these boots offer?

These boots feature a composite safety toe for impact and compression protection, metal-free nail penetration protection for the sole, and are rated for slip resistance (SR) and heat resistance (HRO).

How do I clean and maintain the boots?

Clean the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry away from heat. The footbed can be removed and washed with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I wear these boots for electrical work?

Yes, these boots meet ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) standards, which is important for certain electrical work environments to prevent static buildup.

What does 'S3S' classification mean?

S3S indicates compliance with EN ISO 20345:2022 safety standards, including a composite toe cap, antistatic properties (if applicable, though this model is O1 ESD rated), penetration-resistant sole, and water-resistant upper. The 'S' suffix here, in the context of EN ISO 20347:2022 for occupational footwear, signifies specific safety attributes like ESD and slip resistance.

What is HH DUAL-STRIDE TECHNOLOGY?

It's Helly Hansen's proprietary midsole technology that combines EVA and eTPU materials to deliver an optimal blend of cushioning for comfort, stability for support, and energy return for reduced fatigue.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the dial is not clogged with dirt or debris. Clean the mechanism gently with a soft brush. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Boots feel uncomfortable after a few hours of wear.

Adjust the BOA® dial for a slightly looser fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Allow a break-in period of a few days as the footbed conforms to your foot.

Water is seeping into the boots.

Check for obvious damage to the uppers or seals. Clean the boots and ensure the tongue is properly positioned. For prolonged wet conditions, consider additional waterproofing treatments suitable for synthetic materials, though this may affect breathability.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the HELLYGRIP outsole is clean of mud, oil, or other contaminants. Worn-out outsoles may need replacement. These boots are designed for slip resistance, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to DUAL-STRIDE TECHNOLOGY.
  • Easy and precise fit adjustment with the BOA® system.
  • Durable and protective construction for demanding jobs.
  • Lightweight design despite safety features.
  • Good traction and grip on multiple surfaces.

Cons

  • Mid-height design may not provide sufficient ankle support for all tasks.
  • Microfiber and polyester may be less breathable than natural materials in extreme heat.
  • BOA® system components could potentially require specialized replacement if damaged.
  • Water resistance may diminish over extended periods of submersion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. The BOA® Fit System is engaged by pushing the dial down and then turning it clockwise to tighten. To loosen, pull the dial up. Ensure the fit is snug but not constricting.

Compatibility: Designed to meet EN ISO 20347:2022 - O1 HRO SR standards for occupational footwear, with S3S classification indicating safety features including composite toe protection and metal-free nail penetration resistance. They also meet ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) requirements.

Care:

  • Clean the microfiber and ripstop polyester uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • The Open Cell PU Footbed can be removed for separate cleaning with mild soap and water; ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  • Periodically check the BOA® Fit System dial and laces for wear and tear. Clean any debris from the mechanism.
