Aluminium Toe Caps For A More Light Weight Feel
The B1006 come with aluminium toe caps that are lighter than steel toe caps but just as durable and resistant to pressure. The overall effect is a shoe that does not get uncomfortable during hot weather and keeps your toes safe from knocks and impact.
Elastic-Lacing System
The B1006 come with an elastic-lacing system that is more convenient and takes less time than the conventional laces. The elastic nature of the lacing system also adjusts to the pressure on the laces and leads to a more comfortable wear.
Can I Add Insoles to My B1006?
For people who suffer from chronic foot or leg problems, the B1006 have been designed to accommodate the addition of orthopaedic insoles. This helps in easing their discomfort and makes working on their feet easier.
How Do the B1006 Keep My Feet Insulated?
The heat resistant soles of the B1006 shoes protect the wearer from burns in case of contact with extremely hot objects. The shoes provide protection for 1 minute from objects reaching temperatures of up to 300°C, keeping your feet nice and protected.
Why Should I Use Anti-Static Footwear?
Working with and around machines always raises the danger of electrostatic discharge. Shoes with anti-static capabilities effectively channel static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.
How Do I Keep My Portwest Base B1006 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base B1006 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.
