FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Portwest FW02 SteeLite trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathability in mind, featuring a perforated upper and suede material, which makes them ideal for warm conditions but not for wet environments.

What type of safety protection do these trainers offer?

These trainers offer S1P protection, which includes a steel toecap for impact protection, a pierce-resistant steel midsole to prevent punctures from sharp objects, and an anti-static design. They also feature an SRC-rated slip-resistant outsole.

How should I clean the suede material?

For cleaning suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.

What does SRC-rated mean for the outsole?

SRC-rated means the outsole has been tested for slip resistance on both ceramic tile floors with detergent and steel floors with oil, achieving the highest level of slip resistance in these tests.

Can I wear these trainers in very cold weather?

While they offer protection, the primary design focus is breathability for warm conditions. They may not provide sufficient insulation for extremely cold weather.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of a dual-density PU/PU (Polyurethane/Polyurethane) construction, providing durability, slip resistance, and energy absorption.

Are these trainers suitable for all types of work environments?

They are suitable for many work environments requiring S1P safety standards, especially those that are warm or where enhanced breathability is beneficial. However, extreme wet conditions or environments requiring specific chemical resistance might need different footwear.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too warm

Ensure the laces are not too tight, allowing for maximum air circulation. Verify that the breathable lining is not obstructed.

Slipping on surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering grip. The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance, but certain extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Check for wear on the sole.

Discomfort after a full day's wear

Check the fit; the shoe may be too small or too large. Ensure the energy-absorbing seat region is functioning correctly. Consider using an additional insole if personal preference dictates.

Visible wear on suede upper

Use a suede brush and protective spray to maintain the material. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a suede eraser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the material. Allow to air dry completely.
  2. Lining: The breathable lining can be wiped with a damp cloth. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before wearing.
  3. Sole: Clean the PU/PU sole with mild soap and water to maintain its grip and integrity. Check regularly for any embedded debris.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
