Portwest Base B0501 Cobalto S2 HRO SRC Hygiene Safety Shoes
Footwear that offers non-slip capabilities along with protection from spills as well as comfort for long hours are suited for a very specific range of industries.

What's Included?
What Type of Footwear is Essential in Health-Related Industries?
Always opt for closed-toe footwear in facilities handling or storing chemicals. Avoid wearing shoes with openings, sandals, or fabric sneakers in lab environments or mechanical work areas, as they provide no protection against chemical or physical risks.
Capable of Withstanding High Temperature
The B0501 Cobalto has been designed to function in the extreme heat temperatures that are common in the relevant industries. The shoes do not burn, melt or burn when worn in high temperatures and are heat resistant for 1 minute in temperatures reaching up to 300°C.
Electrical Insulation to Provide Safety
Given the chances of being in close proximity to electricity, anti-static or electrical insulating properties are critical to prevent accidental electrical shocks. The shoes come equipped with anti-static capabilities that provide an extra layer of protection in the workplace.
How Do Anti-Static Boots Protect Me?
Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the boot's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.
Protection From Chemical Hazards
More than just a sturdy outer layer, the B0501 Cobalto's sole is engineered with multiple lines of defence: it's not only resistant to heat and static, but also fortified against hydrocarbons and chemical hazards. Coupled with cutting-edge shock-absorbing technology in the heel, each step is designed to be both secure and comfortable.
What is the Importance of Hydrocarbon Resistance?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Safety 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.
Adapted to International Standards
This versatile and durable boot sets the standard for safety, comfort, and style, making it the ideal choice for those who require uncompromised protection in challenging work conditions. Certified to the stringent UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S2 HRO (SRC) standards, the B0501 Cobalto S2 HRO SRC Hygiene Safety Shoes are designed to meet and exceed safety expectations.
