Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Occupational PVC Wellington O4 FO is designed for adults working in demanding sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, janitorial, and light industry, providing a reliable, fully waterproof solution to keep feet dry and comfortable. While these boots offer excellent resistance to fuels and oils along with energy-absorbing support, it is important to note that as an O4 classified boot, they do not include a protective steel toecap, making them better suited for environments where impact protection is not the primary safety requirement.

FAQs
Do these boots have a steel toecap?
No, these are O4 classified boots, meaning they do not feature protective toecaps.
Are these boots suitable for chemical handling?
The outsoles are fuel and oil resistant, but they are not certified as chemical-resistant safety footwear for hazardous liquid handling.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
Yes, but be aware that PVC can become more rigid in very low temperatures. We recommend wearing thick thermal socks for added warmth.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a half-size, we recommend sizing up to ensure a comfortable fit with work socks.
Are they anti-static?
Yes, they feature anti-static construction to help reduce electrostatic charge build-up.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on wet surfaces
Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove mud or debris buildup that may be clogging the tread pattern.
Foot feels sweaty during long shifts
Use moisture-wicking synthetic socks to pull perspiration away from the skin, as PVC does not breathe.
Boot is difficult to remove
Utilize the built-in kick spur on the heel while seated to exert gentle downward pressure for easier extraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. To maintain their condition, ensure you follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash the exterior with cool, soapy water. Do not use harsh solvents as they may degrade the PVC material over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the PVC to crack or discolor.
- Compatibility: These are unisex-style occupational boots; ensure you select the appropriate UK size. If wearing thick winter socks, you may consider sizing up for optimal comfort.
- Inspection: Before each use, check the soles and shaft for any deep cuts or punctures that could compromise the waterproof integrity.
