Designed for Use Over Long Periods
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 B0979 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.
Lightweight Design for Enhanced Mobility
Heavy footwear can impede on your ability to complete tasks with ease. To ensure you reach your maximum daily potential at work, the Base B0979 Shoes feature composite toe caps that weigh 35% less than the market standard, so that users move with ease whilst still reaping the benefits of effective impact and abrasion resistance.
Ideal for Use In Wet Environments
Industries such as construction, engineering and agriculture often mean workers are spending significant time outdoors. So that your feet remain dry and comfortable even in the worst weather conditions, the Portwest OREN Safety Shoes feature a resilient water-resistant suede leather and textile outer layer. This design is also extremely useful for those who are in frequent contact with water, such as plumbers.
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.
Combats Moisture and Odours for Fresh Feet
Thanks to their antibacterial, anti-odour fabric lining and inclusion of Dry'n Air perforated insoles, the Base B0978E OREN Shoes ensure that your feet remain odour and moisture free at all times.
