Product Information
Full details
The Dickies Elora Safety Trainers are designed for women seeking metal-free, protective footwear. They offer excellent safety features like a composite toe-cap and anti-penetration sole, combined with all-day comfort through energy-absorbing cushioning and water resistance. While providing robust protection, users may find the sizing slightly tailored for a female foot, which could require careful consideration for those with wider feet.

FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
The Dickies Elora trainers are described as 'water-resistant', meaning they offer protection against light splashes and damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof for immersion.
What does 'S3 SRC' safety rating mean?
S3 indicates a safety shoe with a protective toe-cap, penetration-resistant sole, and resistance to water absorption. SRC means the shoe has passed the highest slip resistance tests on ceramic and steel surfaces.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The trainers feature a breathable textile lining, which aids comfort. However, like most safety footwear, they may feel warm during prolonged exposure to very high temperatures.
How heavy are these trainers?
The product weight is approximately 519g per shoe, based on a UK size 5.5. This is relatively lightweight for a safety trainer.
Are they suitable for men?
These trainers are specifically developed for ladies' feet, featuring a slimmer heel and reduced forepart measure. While some men might find a fit, they are optimized for a female foot shape.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a dual-density construction of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and rubber, designed for energy absorption and slip resistance.
How should I clean the pink and black mesh sections?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For more stubborn marks, a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap is recommended. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you normally wear for work. If they remain uncomfortable, especially if you have wider feet, consider a half-size larger or an alternative model.
Water resistance seems compromised.
Check the upper for any significant wear or damage that might allow water ingress. Re-apply a suitable nubuck/mesh waterproofer if necessary. Ensure the tongue area is properly sealed against the shoe to prevent water entry from the top.
Reduced slip resistance over time.
Clean the sole regularly to remove any embedded debris or contaminants that could affect grip. The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance, but performance can degrade on heavily contaminated surfaces or with significant sole wear.
Material appears worn or scuffed.
The anti-scuff toe offers some protection. For minor scuffs on nubuck, a nubuck eraser or brush can help. For mesh areas, gentle cleaning is advised. Avoid abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dickies Elora Safety Trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the nubuck and mesh upper with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the trainers.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: The removable foam insoles can be taken out for airing or cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
