FAQs
Are these trainers truly metal-free?
Yes, the Dickies Elora Safety Trainers feature a composite toe-cap and a non-metallic anti-penetration sole, making them entirely metal-free.
What does 'S3 SRC' rating mean?
S3 indicates safety features including a protected toe, resistance to fuel and oil, water resistance, and anti-penetration protection. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance on various surfaces.
How do I clean the nubuck and mesh material?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth for general dirt. Use a specialized nubuck cleaner for tougher marks and a suede brush to maintain texture. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable foam insole that can be replaced with custom orthotics or different types of insoles for personalized comfort and support.
What is the approximate weight of these trainers?
The product weight is approximately 519g per trainer, based on a UK size 5.5.
Are these trainers suitable for women with wider feet?
These trainers are developed specifically for ladies' feet with a slimmer heel and reduced forepart measure, which may not be ideal for wider feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
How water-resistant are they?
The trainers are rated as water-resistant, meaning they can withstand exposure to water and keep your feet dry in most typical work conditions. However, they are not designed for prolonged submersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try wearing them with different thickness socks. Utilize the removable insole, or consider replacing it with a thinner or thicker one for a custom fit. Break them in gradually over a few days.
Water seeps into the trainers.
While rated water-resistant, prolonged submersion or high-pressure water may cause ingress. Ensure all laces are tied and the tongue is properly seated. Clean and treat the nubuck material periodically to maintain its water-repellent properties.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
The SRC rating signifies high slip resistance, but no sole is completely slip-proof on all surfaces, especially ice or heavily contaminated areas. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. If slipping persists, reassess the working environment and consider if the footwear is appropriate for extreme conditions.
Material shows scuffing or wear.
The anti-scuff toe offers some protection. Avoid deliberately scuffing the trainers. For minor scuffs on nubuck, a suede brush can help restore the texture. Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of the material.
