FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all types of work environments?
The Dickies Elora Safety Trainers meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 SRC standards, making them suitable for many environments requiring safety footwear. Their metal-free nature is particularly useful where metal detectors are present. However, always check specific workplace safety requirements.
How do I clean the nubuck and mesh material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For damp cleaning, a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Avoid soaking the shoes or using strong detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'S3 SRC' safety rating mean?
S3 indicates basic safety (SB) plus resistance to water penetration and absorption, a closed-cell upper, and protection against sharp objects in the sole (anti-penetration). SRC means the shoe has undergone slip resistance testing on ceramic and steel surfaces with water and cleaning agents, achieving the highest slip resistance rating.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable foam insole. You can replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for personalized comfort and support.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The product weight is approximately 519g per shoe, based on a UK size 5.5. This can vary slightly with different sizes.
Are these trainers fully waterproof?
The trainers are water-resistant, meaning they offer protection against splashes and light moisture. They are not designed for prolonged submersion in water but will help keep your feet dry in typical workplace conditions.
What colours are available?
The Dickies Elora range is available in various colour combinations, including Black/Orange and Black/Pink, with different listings for each specific colourway and size.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect or uncomfortable
While designed for women, individual foot shapes vary. Try the trainers on with the type of socks you typically wear. If uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable, or if custom insoles could improve fit.
Water resistance seems reduced over time
The water-resistant treatment may diminish with wear. Consider using a nubuck or footwear waterproofing spray designed for leather and textile shoes to restore protection. Ensure thorough cleaning before re-applying any treatments.
Sole feels stiff initially
New safety footwear, especially with non-metallic anti-penetration soles, may feel stiff at first. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Flexing the shoe gently by hand can also help.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace worn laces with standard footwear laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress on the eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dickies Elora Safety Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot. The removable foam insole can be replaced with custom orthotics if desired.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed to meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 SRC safety standards. They are suitable for a wide range of industries requiring safety footwear, particularly where a metal-free option is preferred or required. They are compatible with most standard workwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: For the nubuck and mesh upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the sole for wear and tear, and ensure the toe-cap and anti-penetration sole remain intact. Inspect the laces and eyelets for any signs of damage.
