FW14 - Steel Split Leather Low Shoe S1P SR
The Portwest FW14 Steelite Protector is a black low safety shoe with a split leather upper. Its lace-up design offers a familiar fastening style for suitable stores, maintenance and general workplace tasks.
A steel toe cap and penetration-resistant steel midsole provide protection at the front of the foot and underfoot. The low profile should be assessed alongside the coverage required by the job, particularly when comparing shoes with higher boots.
The padded collar adds comfort around the ankle, while the dual-density PU/PU sole includes heel energy absorption and antistatic properties. Portwest lists EN ISO 20345:2022 S1P SR for this model; check the supplied pair's complete markings before use.

Directions for Use
1. Check protection against the task
Compare the supplied footwear markings and instructions with the workplace assessment. Check requirements for toe and underfoot protection, floor conditions, moisture exposure and foot coverage before use.
2. Adjust the laces and check fit
Try both shoes with normal work socks. Fasten the laces evenly and walk briefly to check comfortable toe room and heel security. Readjust any areas that feel loose or create pressure.
3. Inspect the upper and sole
Examine the leather, seams, collar, laces and tread before each shift. Remove trapped debris and follow the supplied guidance after an impact or other incident that may have affected the protective components.
4. Clean and store correctly
Clean the leather and outsole according to the supplied care instructions. Allow damp shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat, store them in suitable dry conditions and replace footwear when wear or damage compromises performance.

FAQs
Does FW14 include underfoot protection?
Yes. Portwest specifies a penetration-resistant steel midsole alongside the steel toe cap. Match the supplied markings to the hazards and protection required by the task.
Is this a metal-free safety shoe?
No. Both the protective toe cap and midsole are steel. Check another footwear specification if the workplace requires non-metallic protective components.
Is FW14 waterproof?
A waterproof membrane is not specified for this model. Assess the duration and type of moisture exposure separately, and choose footwear with confirmed waterproofing when that is required.
Does the SR marking guarantee grip everywhere?
No. Consider the floor surface, contaminants and condition of the sole when selecting and using footwear. Keep the tread clear and follow workplace housekeeping procedures.
Which sizes are listed on this page?
The black FW14 is listed here in EU sizes 35–52. Select the required size before ordering, then check the fit on both feet with the socks normally worn at work.
When should I replace the shoes?
Inspect for worn tread, damaged leather or seams and faults affecting secure fastening. Follow the supplied guidance after an impact or other damage, and replace footwear when its protective performance may be compromised.
