Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Steelite FW02 Perforated Trainer S1P is designed for adult workers who need durable, breathable, and protective footwear, especially in warm environments. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort through superior air circulation and robust safety features like a steel toecap and midsole. A potential caveat is that while breathable, they are still trainers and may not suit extremely hot, static conditions without additional ventilation. This S1P rated trainer offers a combination of premium suede, a perforated upper, and a special breathable lining to ensure comfort and safety during demanding work.

FAQs

What does S1P certification mean?

S1P certification indicates that the footwear meets specific safety standards: S1 means it has a closed heel, energy absorption in the heel, and is anti-static and fuel/oil resistant. The 'P' denotes a pierce-resistant protective midsole.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not fully waterproof. While the suede and PU/PU sole offer some resistance, the perforated upper is designed for breathability, which means water can penetrate.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

Yes, the design and comfort features make them suitable for casual wear, but their primary design is for occupational safety in environments requiring S1P protection.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Portwest size guide available on their website or the product listing for accurate measurements and conversion to UK shoe sizes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.

What is the material of the sole?

The outsole is made of PU/PU (Polyurethane/Polyurethane), known for its durability, oil resistance, and slip-resistant properties.

Are the steel toecap and midsole heavy?

Steel components add weight compared to non-protective footwear, but the design aims to balance protection with reasonable comfort for occupational use.

Troubleshooting

Reduced breathability over time.

Ensure the perforated areas are clear of dirt and debris. Regular cleaning of the suede upper can help maintain airflow.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Verify you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thicker socks or check for any internal seams causing irritation. Allow a break-in period if the shoes are new.

Traction issues on certain surfaces.

The SRC rating indicates high slip resistance, but performance can vary with surface contaminants. Ensure the outsole is clean of oil, grease, or other residues. The shoe's grip may diminish on extremely polished or wet surfaces beyond its rating.

  • Comfortable design with padded collar and energy-absorbing heel.
  • High slip resistance on various surfaces.
  • Durable construction with premium suede upper.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely wet conditions due to suede material.
  • While breathable, can still feel warm in excessively hot, enclosed spaces.
  • Requires proper sizing for optimal comfort and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and safety. It is recommended to try them on before use to confirm comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult unisex use. Compliant with EN ISO 20345 S1P standards. Suitable for most industrial and workshop environments requiring S1P protection.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the suede upper with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the footwear.
  • Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the materials and shape.
