FC08 - Composite Textile Trainer S1P SRC
The FC08 is part of Portwest’s eco-focused Compositelite range, built around sustainability and lightweight performance. The upper is constructed from a recycled knitted textile made using PET plastic bottles, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining durability and flexibility. The knitted structure also improves breathability for all-day wear.
Protection is provided by a composite toe cap and a puncture-resistant non-metallic midsole, delivering S1P-certified safety without the weight of steel components. The shoe is fully metal-free, making it suitable for environments requiring non-metallic footwear.
Inside, a gel cushioned footbed and padded collar enhance comfort and reduce pressure during extended wear. A breathable 3D mesh lining and padded tongue further improve internal comfort and moisture management.
The outsole is a dual-density PU/PU unit designed for durability and grip, featuring SRC-rated slip resistance for use on ceramic and steel surfaces. It is also fuel and oil resistant and includes an energy-absorbing heel region to reduce impact stress.
Overall, the FC08 is designed as a lightweight, modern safety sneaker that prioritises comfort, sustainability and basic industrial protection for general workplace environments.
