FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for men?
No, the Dickies Elora trainers are specifically designed with a fit tailored for ladies' feet, featuring a slimmer heel and reduced forepart measure. Men may find the fit uncomfortable.
What does S3 SRC certification mean?
S3 indicates safety standards including a protected toe cap, resistance to water penetration, and anti-penetration underfoot protection. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance, tested on ceramic and steel floor surfaces.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, construction, and safety features. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the appropriate method.
How much do the trainers weigh?
The approximate weight is 519g per shoe, based on a UK size 5.5.
Is the composite toe cap as strong as steel?
Yes, composite toe caps meet the same impact and compression standards as steel toe caps according to EN ISO 20345 regulations, providing equivalent protection while being lighter and non-conductive.
What is the difference between the black/pink and black/orange variants?
The primary difference is the colour accent. Both variants share the same safety features, construction, and materials. Please check the specific product title or description for colour details.
How long will the water resistance last?
The initial water resistance is built into the materials and construction. With proper care and the occasional use of a waterproofing spray for footwear, the water-resistant properties can be maintained for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing them with appropriate work socks. If discomfort persists, especially in the forepart or heel, the specific women's fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.
Reduced water resistance over time
The water-resistant treatment may diminish with wear. Consider using a Nubuck and Suede waterproofing spray specifically designed for footwear to restore protection. Ensure regular cleaning to maintain the material's integrity.
Sole appears to be separating
The Elora trainers feature cemented construction. Minor separation at the edges might occur with extreme wear. For significant separation, contact customer support or the retailer, as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Static electricity build-up persists
While the trainers have anti-static properties, environmental factors or flooring can influence static buildup. Ensure other clothing worn is also anti-static if possible. Clean the soles regularly as dirt can sometimes impede anti-static performance.
