🔄 How to Replace Outsole Pads
Contra Heist V1 shoes use a modular outsole system that lets you change traction pads based on the job.
- Start at the Heel: Grip the back of the pad and pull upward and forward toward the toe.
- Insert the Toe First: Line up the front of the new pad and insert it into the recessed toe area of the sole.
- Secure Front to Back: Press down along the length of the pad from front to back until it locks into place.
Tip: Always check that the pad is fully secure before use.
⚠️ Safety & Usage Notice
- Contra Heist V1 shoes are not certified safety footwear and are not classified as PPE (personal protective equipment).
- These shoes do not include toe protection or certified slip resistance required for certain industrial environments.
- Regularly check your outsole pads for wear. Do not use if pad thickness is below 4mm (5/32") or if pads are damaged or loose.
- Exercise caution on steep, slick, or unpredictable surfaces—these shoes are not guaranteed to prevent slips or falls.
- Ensure all pads are fully locked in place before each use to maintain proper performance and safety.
👟 Fit & Wear Tips
- Shoes fit true to size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down slightly.
or visit a local shoe store to confirm your foot size. - The midsole and insole will mold to your feet over 1–3 days of wear. Initial snugness is normal.
