Ideal Applications
Consider these shoes for maintenance, industrial and warehouse tasks requiring S3S protection. ESD suitability must be assessed as part of the complete workplace control system. Check the surface, contamination and other risks before selecting footwear.
Use and Care
Fasten securely and check fit with your work socks. Clean according to the supplied instructions and dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect the sole and upper for damage and remove worn or damaged footwear from use. Use only manufacturer-approved replacement components, especially where ESD performance matters.
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The manufacturer specifies a water resistant upper. Whole-shoe waterproof protection is not stated, so select a separately specified waterproof model for work that requires it.
Does HRO protect against all heat hazards?
No. HRO relates to outsole contact heat resistance. It does not mean the complete shoe protects against every heat, flame or molten material hazard.
Do the shoes have steel protection?
No. Portwest specifies composite toe and midsole protection with metal-free construction.
Is ESD the same as electrical insulation?
No. ESD footwear manages electrostatic discharge in a suitable control system; it should not be selected as electrical insulating footwear.
