Quicker and Easier to Wear
For those who are always in a hurry, stopping to tie your laces can sometimes be a bother. With the B0899, there's no such worry as they come with self-adhesive fasteners that take almost no time for a more snug fit.
How Does Insulation Keep Feet Warm?
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. At the same time, the B0899 keep the feet safe from temperatures as high as 150°C, protecting them from getting too hot or burned.
Do B0899 Also Protect From Extreme Temperatures?
Absolutely. Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures reaching up to 300°C for 1 minute, the B0899 shoes 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 B0899?
The Portwest Base Twinkle 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 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.
How Do I Keep My Portwest Base Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base 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.
