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 Extreme Temperatures
Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures reaching up to 300°C for 1 minute, the B0896 boots provide crucial and immediate protection against unexpected exposure to heat. At the same time, these boots keep the feet warm and prevent frost bite in temperatures as low as -17°C.
Can I Add Orthopaedic Insoles to My B0896?
The Portwest Base Be-Dry Top 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. Boots 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.
