Why Should I Use Anti-Static Footwear?
Working with and around machines always raises the danger of electrostatic discharge. Shoes with anti-static capabilities effectively channel static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the 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.

For people who suffer from chronic foot or leg problems, the B0540 have been designed to accommodate the addition of orthopaedic insoles. This helps in easing their discomfort and makes working on their feet easier.

Increase the life of your Portwest Base B0540 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.
