FW06 - Steel Action Leather Rigger Boot
The Portwest FW06 is an unlined rigger safety boot with an action leather upper and side pull tabs. Its tan pull-on design offers a practical option when a warm lining is not wanted and the boot's protective specification matches the workplace task.
Steel protection is fitted at the toe and underfoot, with a dual-density PU/rubber sole and an energy-absorbing heel area. The lace-free shape makes the right fit important: try both boots with your usual work socks and check that the heel remains secure while walking.
Portwest lists EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P HRO SRC CI for this model. The fuel, oil and contact-heat resistance features concern the outsole; they do not establish waterproofing, protection from every chemical or a safe whole-boot operating temperature. Use the supplied markings and instructions when confirming suitability.
Compare our safety boots if you need a lined, lace-up or differently specified design. For help confirming the FW06 model or your required size, contact Astral Hygiene before ordering. This listing offers tan boots in EU sizes 38–48.

Directions for Use
1. Assess the job and markings
Read the supplied instructions and check the pair's safety marking against the protection required. Confirm that an unlined pull-on boot is suitable for the task, including any site rules about footwear style.
2. Select a secure fit
Use the side tabs when putting the boots on and try both feet with your usual work socks. Check toe room and heel movement while walking. A boot that remains loose or causes pressure needs a different size or style.
3. Inspect before work
Check the leather, stitching, pull tabs and sole for wear or damage. Clear material from the tread and use care on the working surface. Follow the assessed procedure for any hot-surface task rather than relying on the outsole marking alone.
4. Clean and store correctly
Follow the supplied care instructions to clean the upper and tread. Dry naturally away from direct heat and keep the boots in suitable dry storage. Replace worn or damaged footwear when its condition may reduce protection.

FAQs
Does FW06 have a warm lining?
No. This is the unlined FW06 rigger boot. If a warm lining is required, compare a lined model and check its complete protective specification rather than choosing by appearance alone.
Is FW06 a waterproof boot?
No waterproof membrane or whole-footwear waterproofing is specified in this listing. If the task involves sustained wet exposure, select footwear with the required water-protection specification.
What does the 300°C claim cover?
It concerns contact-heat resistance of the outsole. It is not a safe temperature for the wearer, the upper or the whole boot, and does not replace an assessment of the actual hot-surface task.
Is this model metal free?
No. The protective toe cap and penetration-resistant midsole are steel. Choose another appropriately specified model if a metal-free construction is a workplace requirement.
Which safety standard is listed?
Portwest lists EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P HRO SRC CI for FW06. Confirm the marking on the supplied pair and follow its instructions when comparing the boot with your workplace requirements.
What sizes and colour are available to select?
This page lists tan FW06 boots in EU sizes 38–48. Choose the size in the selector, then check both boots for comfortable toe room and a secure pull-on fit with your normal work socks.
