FAQs
Is FW83 metal free?
No. It has a steel toe cap. Do not rely on this model where completely non-metallic footwear is required.
Can it be machine washed?
The manufacturer lists machine washing up to 30°C. Follow the supplied pair’s instructions for the correct washing and drying method.
Does this boot provide chemical or puncture protection?
Neither chemical-protection certification nor a penetration-resistant midsole is specified here. Choose footwear with the required confirmed protection for those hazards.
