FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the PORTWEST FW02 STEELITE Perforated Trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathability in mind and feature a suede upper, which can be damaged by excessive moisture. For wet environments, a different type of safety footwear would be more appropriate.

What does S1P rating mean?

An S1P rating indicates that the footwear has a protective toecap (P), is anti-static (A), and has a pierce-resistant midsole (S1).

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner. Always allow to air dry naturally and consider using a suede protector spray.

Are these suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, they are designed for extended wear with a padded collar and energy-absorbing features. However, like all safety footwear, a break-in period might be necessary for optimal comfort.

What is the benefit of the perforated upper?

The perforation allows for increased airflow through the shoe, enhancing breathability and helping to keep your feet cool and dry, especially in warm working conditions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can typically be removed and replaced with your preferred insoles, provided they are of a similar size and thickness to maintain the shoe's fit and safety integrity.

What surfaces does the SRC slip resistance apply to?

The SRC rating indicates the highest level of slip resistance, tested on both ceramic tile floors with soap and steel floors with oil.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort during initial wear

This is common with new safety footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected; if too small, break-in will be difficult.

Reduced breathability over time

Ensure the breathable mesh lining and perforated upper are free from debris and dirt. Clean as per care instructions. Consider replacing insoles if they become compacted.

Slipping occurs despite SRC rating

The SRC rating signifies high slip resistance under tested conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from oil, grease, or mud, which can reduce grip. Surface conditions can also affect traction.

Suede material shows water staining

Suede is not waterproof. For protection, apply a suitable suede protector spray before first use and reapply periodically. If wet, dry naturally away from heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability for warm working conditions.
  • High level of safety with steel toe and midsole protection.
  • Superior slip resistance on various surfaces.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to padded collar and energy absorption.

Cons

  • Suede upper may require specific cleaning and maintenance.
  • Steel components can add weight compared to composite alternatives.
  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Not suitable for extremely wet environments where full waterproofing is needed.
  • Limited aesthetic variations due to the focus on safety and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Compatibility: Certified CE, these trainers meet European safety standards. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial environments requiring S1P protection, anti-static properties, and slip resistance. They are compatible with standard workwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede upper. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent specifically designed for suede. Avoid soaking the material.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use artificial heat, as it can damage the suede and sole.
  3. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water damage.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check the sole for wear and tear, and ensure the protective toecap and midsole remain intact.
