What Are Hygiene Shoes?
Footwear such as the Portwest Base B0509 are characterised as hygiene shoes. These describe shoes that are ideal for indoor cleanroom environments such as food preparation, medical and pharmaceutical where there is a risk of slipping on wet or dry tiled surfaces.
Why is Anti-Static Footwear Necessary?
When you work around machinery or electronic devices, static electricity can accumulate and pose a hazard. 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 a falling object 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 B0509 guarantee maximum comfort and protection to the ankles, protecting them from pressure.
Can I Add Insoles to My B0509?
The Portwest Cadmio 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 are elements consisting solely of hydrogen and carbon. Footwear that can resist hydrocarbons provide 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.
