Protection Against Nails, Screws and Sharps
One of the most important aspects of any safety shoe or boot is the sole and how resistant is is to puncturing. The upper section of this nail-resistant sole is made of two separate pieces, the upper of which is specifically moulded to prevent the sudden force of a nail, screw or sharp tip upon contact.
Polyurethane Rubberised Sole
Rubberised polyurethane is a serious coating for the most serious industries. Designed and manufactured to bolster resistance to nails, screws and other strewn sharps, it's this durable coating that protects your feet from lacerations and incisions that could potentially cause serious injury when trodden on.
BOA Fastening System
The BOA Fastening System is a super convenient inclusion, allowing you to tighten and loosen your laces at the turn of a dial. Located at the front of the boot, you can release the tension by pulling the wheel out towards you, saving you time and providing a uniform tightness across the entirety of the boot.
Water-Resistant Outer Shell
Nobody can work at their best with damp, wet feet. Base Footwear B1613 Leather Work Boots use a traditional "high top" design specification that includes a thin and sleek polyurethane coating for deflecting water and moisture. This helps keep your feet dry at all times, no matter how intense the rain gets.
Authentic Leather Foundation Fabric
Some people just prefer the fit and feel of real leather. Authentic leather has the advantage of being long-lasting when compared to synthetic options, making it the only real choice for a pair of premium quality work boots that you're going to wear for years.
Enhanced Stability Design
If you've ever rolled your ankle on site, you'll know all about the value of good boots that support the ankle. Portwest "T-Robust" Nail-Resistant Work Boots sit slightly higher up the leg, stabilising your ankles when working on wet and slippery terrain.
Fortrex is equipped with an ultra-resistant rigid insert at the rear, which maximises stability and provides torsion resistance at the medial area of the boot. This creates an all-encompassing enveloped feel, which stabilises the foot and ankle to prevent slips and trips in poorly paved areas.
Superior Cushioning Shell
Each pair of Base Protection Safety Boots features a hard-wearing interior shell made using a viscoelastic material, which provides extra cushioning and absorbs high-impact energies when contact is made with the heel.
Absorbent to Vibration and Shock
If you work with power-tools like angle grinders, drills, jackhammers and saws, you'd be forgiven for disregarding the potential threat they pose to your feet and ankles. When you're using these powerful bits of kit, shockwaves can actually travel up from the ground as your body shakes, causing damage to the joints and bones in your feet and ankles.
The sole of Portwest B1613 Fortrex Work Boots are made using layers of different consistencies and thicknesses to soften vibrations in order to protect vital areas against shockwaves and vibrations.
