Ideal Applications
Consider for dry warehouse, handling and light industrial duties where the risk assessment specifies S1P safety footwear. Assess floor contamination and any additional protection needed before choosing a knitted low shoe.
Use and Care
Clear debris from the tread, clean according to the supplied instructions and dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect the knit, seams and protective components regularly. Replace footwear after damage or substantial wear, and use only approved replacement footbeds where required to maintain the rating.
FAQs
Is the entire shoe made from recycled material?
No. The manufacturer specifies a 50% certified recycled polyester share in the knitted upper; that does not describe the whole shoe.
Does FC08 have steel protective components?
No. Portwest specifies a composite toe and protective midsole, with a metal-free construction.
Can it be used for wet work?
Select footwear with the water protection required for the task. This S1P knitted model should not be assumed to provide whole-shoe waterproof protection.
