Why Do I Need ESD Shoes?
ESD-safe footwear prevents static electricity from building up. It helps direct static electricity to the ground in conjunction with the use of ESD-safe matting or flooring, dissipating charges as people walk across floors.
Why is Anti-Static Footwear Necessary?
When you're in an environment with machinery or electronic devices, static electricity can accumulate and pose a hazard to yourself or equipment. Shoes designed with anti-static features help dissipate this static energy from your body, channelling it safely through the interior sole, the lining, and the exterior sole into the ground.
Why Do I Need Steel Toe Caps?
Shoes with steel toe caps are known as safety shoes. These are more durable, provide an added reinforcement at the front of the shoe and are designed to protect your toes from falling objects and a large amount of pressure.
Padded Collars Protect Your Ankles
The back of your feet near the ankles are vulnerable spots where extra pressure or hard impacts can cause serious harm. Featuring padded collars, the B0474 guarantee maximum comfort and protection to the ankles, protecting them from pressure.
Can I Add Insoles to My B0474?
The Portwest Quark 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 is Resistance to Hydrocarbons Important?
Hydrocarbons consist solely of hydrogen and carbon elements. Footwear that can resist hydrocarbons provides crucial safety measures for those dealing with or in proximity to chemicals. Anti-static shoes protect against various hazards such as skin irritation, allergies, infections, and chemical burns, especially in situations involving chemical leakage or spillage.
How to Maintain Your Portwest Base Footwear?
To extend the lifespan of your Portwest Base shoes, proper care is essential. Use only gentle brushes and water for cleaning. Refrain from using items like alcohol, solvents, fuel, oil, or other chemical substances. Store your shoes in a dry and clean condition, ideally at room temperature.
