Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Occupational PVC Wellington O4 FO is an essential footwear solution designed for adult professionals in agriculture, fisheries, janitorial, and light industrial sectors who require reliable waterproofing. Its primary benefit is the combination of a fully waterproof PVC construction with an oil-resistant outsole for safe, day-to-day workplace performance; however, users should note that as an O4 classified occupational boot, it does not feature a steel toe cap, making it unsuitable for environments requiring impact protection.

FAQs
Does this boot have a steel toe cap?

Can I use these in chemical processing plants?
While they are oil and fuel resistant, please consult your site safety officer to ensure O4 classification meets your specific chemical resistance requirements.

What is the O4 FO classification?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on certain floors
Check the outsole for mud or grease buildup and clean thoroughly; ensure the contact surface is free from loose debris.
Excessive moisture inside the boot
This is likely caused by trapped perspiration. Wear moisture-wicking socks and allow boots to dry completely between shifts.
Boots are difficult to take off
Utilize the built-in kick spur on the heel to provide leverage; avoid pulling by the upper shafts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat, as the waterproof nature of PVC can trap heat.
Compatibility: This series is available in a wide range of UK sizes and two colorways (Green and Black), allowing for standard occupational uniformity. It is compatible with standard industrial foot-care routines.
Care:
- Clean the boots after every use by rinsing with water to remove chemicals or debris.
- Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the PVC.
- Periodically inspect the outsole for embedded debris or deep cuts that might compromise the anti-slip performance.
