What's the Need For Steel Toe Caps?
Footwear such as the B0105 come with steel toe caps for added safety. A steel-toe shoe (also known as a safety shoe) is a durable shoe that has a protective reinforcement in the toe which protects the foot from falling objects or compression.
Can I Add Orthopaedic Insoles to My B0105?
The Portwest Base B0105 have been certified to allow for the addition of orthopaedic insoles without altering their safety features. This feature allows people who suffer from chronic leg and feet problems to wear the shoes without discomfort.
Why Do I Need Anti-Static Footwear?
When you're working with and around machinery and devices, there's always the possibility of build-up of static electricity which can be dangerous. Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the shoe's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth.
Why Do I Need Hydrocarbon Resistance?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Shoes that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.
How Do I Keep My Portwest Base B0105 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base shoes by taking good care of them. Use only soft brushes and water. Do not use substances such as alcohol, thinners, gasoline, oil or any other chemicals. Keep the footwear, dry and clean, in a proper place at room temperature.
