Why Do I Need Insulation?
Working in cold conditions can be hard on the feet. By trapping the air molecules, the insulation is able to block out the entrance of the cold outside air, also preventing heat from escaping the inside of the boots, keeping your feet nice and warm.
Keep Your Feet Safe From High Temperatures
Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures reaching up to 300°C for 1 minute, the B0887 shoes provide crucial and immediate protection against unexpected exposure to heat. They also provide insulation of up to 150°C and prevent the feet from getting too hot.
What is Anti-Torsion Technology?
The B0887 Be-Strong offer a built-in anti-torsion insert, which provides a bridge between the forefoot and the rear of the foot. This helps in supporting the midfoot, making the boots more comfortable and responsive during strides and movements.
Can I Add Orthopaedic Insoles to My B0887?
The Portwest Base B0887 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 boots 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.
