Engineered for Extended Wear
Many industrial professions mean that workers can be on their feet non-stop, which can lead to added strain on the heels, ankles and joints. To minimise discomfort, the B0978 Shoes feature AirTech and TPU-Skin soles that provide a cushioning effect to relieve pressure and keep your feet energised.
Similarly, with a shock absorbing heel region and padded collar, these safety shoes are crafted to prevent inflammation in the heel region and enhance your overall comfort.
Secure Footing in Hazardous Environments
Designed to reduce the amount of slips and trips on slippery and uneven surfaces, these safety shoes are constructed with slip-resistant soles that provide an exceptional grip. This feature is ideal for those who work in wet and oily conditions, or outdoors in all types of weather conditions.
Light Construction for Enhanced Agility
Bulky footwear can hinder your efficiency and overall productivity, as well as being generally uncomfortable. To ensure you reach your maximum daily potential at work, the Base B0978 Shoes feature composite toe caps that weigh 35% less than the industry norm, so that users move with ease whilst still reaping the benefits of effective impact and abrasion resistance.
Optimal Performance In Wet Conditions
In industries such as construction or agriculture, outdoor work is common, exposing workers to various weather conditions. To ensure your feet remain dry and comfortable, especially in poor weather conditions, the Portwest OREN Shoes are crafted with a durable, water-repellent suede leather and textile exterior. This design is also essential for workers who frequently encounter water, such as plumbers.
Combats Moisture and Odours for Fresh Feet
With their antibacterial, anti-odour fabric lining and Dry'n Air perforated insoles, the Base B0978s guarantee a consistently fresh and dry climate inside your shoes.
