Sizing Information for Portwest FD01 Compositelite Traction Boots

These boots are available in a range of sizes, based off of UK shoe sizes, based on your standard shoe size. Consult the table below and use the drop-down menu at the top of the page to select the perfect size for you.

What Do These Standards Mean?

These boots have two standards: EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 and EN 61340-4-3, in addition to meeting the requirements for HRO, C1 and WR standards.

• EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for safety footwear: "S": Stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection. "3" refers to additional features including:
  • Antistatic properties
  • Energy absorption in the heel region
  • Resistance to water penetration
  • Resistance to penetration by sharp objects
• EN 61340-4-3 refers to a specific standard within the EN 61340 series. Broken down, 61340 is the number assigned to the series of standards related to electrostatics, while 4-3 indicates these shoes have met the following criteria for:
  • Controlling electrostatic discharge
  • Controlling static electricity
  • Minimizing electrostatic discharge

• HRO: HRO stands for Heat-Resistant Outsole. Footwear labelled with HRO designation is designed to provide protection against high heat and resistance to melting or degrading when exposed to contact with hot surfaces. The outsole material is tested and rated to withstand a certain level of heat, typically around 300°C (572°F) for a defined duration.
• CI: CI stands for Cold Insulation. Footwear labeled with CI designation is designed to provide insulation against low temperatures, helping to maintain the warmth of the foot. These shoes are tested to determine their thermal insulation properties and should provide a certain level of protection against cold environments.
• WR: WR stands for Water-Resistant or Water-Repellent. Footwear labeled with WR designation is designed to repel water to a certain degree, keeping the foot dry in wet or damp conditions. The footwear may have a water-resistant upper material or a specialized treatment that helps prevent water from penetrating the shoe.

What Other Boots of the Same Standard Are Available?

We have a huge range of S3 Safety Footwear available, with a variety of styles and designs to choose from. We also have a number of Work Safety Boots perfect for lightweight yet robust hazard protection.

Where Can These Safety Boots Be Worn?

Safety boots are designed to provide protection to the feet in various hazardous work environments. They are typically worn in industries or occupations where there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, sharp objects, electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, or other potential workplace hazards. Here are some common areas where safety boots are worn:

• Construction Sites: Safety boots are essential in construction sites where workers are exposed to falling objects, heavy machinery, uneven terrain, and other construction-related hazards.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities, including factories, warehouses, and production lines, often wear safety boots to protect against potential foot injuries from heavy equipment, moving parts, falling objects, and industrial hazards.
• Warehouses and Logistics: In warehouses and logistics environments, where materials handling, loading and unloading, and storage activities take place, safety boots are worn to protect against foot injuries from heavy objects, pallets, forklifts, and potential slips and falls.
• Mining and Extraction: Mining operations involve rugged terrains, heavy machinery, and various hazards such as falling rocks, sharp objects, and chemical exposure. Safety boots are crucial for miners to protect their feet in such challenging environments.
• Oil and Gas Industry: Workers in the oil and gas industry, including drilling, refining, and pipeline operations, face a range of hazards such as heavy equipment, slippery surfaces, chemical exposure, and potential impact injuries. Safety boots are worn to mitigate these risks.
• Electrical and Utility Work: Electricians, lineworkers, and utility workers who deal with electrical systems and power distribution wear safety boots that provide electrical hazard protection. These boots are designed to prevent electrical shocks and withstand high voltage.
• Emergency Services: Firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency service personnel often wear safety boots as part of their protective gear to ensure foot safety during rescue operations and hazardous incidents.

Comfortable and Protective

These boots are made of Buffalo Crazy Horse Leather: a leather known for its' robust nature and insulating qualities. Treated with natural wax, this material is water-resistant and features a unique style of leather grain.

Who Can Use Anti-Static Boots?

These anti-static boots are ideal for a range of industries, including:

• Electronics Manufacturing for protection against ESD when handling electronics
• Semiconductor Industries to prevent damage to semiconductor components (and wearers)
• Computer and IT industries to reduce likelihood of damage to sensitive computer components
• Pharmaceuticals and Laboratories to prevent ESD from interfering with sensitive experiments and samples
• Aerospace and Defence to prevent compromising components such as avionics and computer systems
• Chemical Industries, for when wearers deal with flammable or explosions from static sparks
• Healthcare Industries for use with specialised equipment that could damage medical devices and procedures

Why are Composite Toe Caps Important?

These safety boots come with inbuilt composite toe caps, which have a variety of benefits including:

• Impact Protection: Composite toecaps are designed to withstand a significant amount of force and provide protection against heavy falling objects or accidental impacts. They act as a barrier between the toes and potential hazards, reducing the risk of fractures, bruises, or other foot injuries.
• Compression Resistance: In certain work environments, there is a risk of the feet being exposed to compression forces, such as heavy machinery or equipment rolling over the feet. Fiberglass toecaps offer resistance against compression, preventing the toes from getting crushed or injured.
• Occupational Safety Compliance: Many industries and workplaces have specific safety regulations or standards that require workers to wear protective footwear with toecaps. This is particularly common in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors where foot injuries are a potential risk. Wearing composite toecap boots ensures compliance with these safety requirements.
• Durability: Composite toecaps provide an additional layer of durability to the front portion of the shoe. They are highly resistant to impact and compression forces, as well as abrasion, making the boots more robust and long-lasting.
• Versatility: Composite toecaps can be incorporated into various types of footwear, including boots, shoes, and sneakers. This allows workers in different industries to choose the appropriate footwear style while still benefiting from toe protection.

We have a range of Steel Toe Capped Boots, Steel Toe Capped Shoes, Steel Toe Capped Footwear and Steel Toe Capped Trainers for personal protection across a variety of industries.
