Product Information

Full details

The PORTWEST FW02 Steelite Perforated Low Shoes are designed for adult professionals working in warm environments who prioritize breathability and comfort without compromising safety. Their key benefit is enhanced air circulation to keep feet cool, with a notable caveat being the low-cut design which may offer less ankle support than higher boots. These S1P rated safety shoes feature a cow suede leather upper, a steel toecap, a steel midsole for puncture protection, and an SRC slip-resistant outsole, making them suitable for various industrial settings.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the perforated suede upper and breathable lining are specifically designed to enhance air circulation, making them ideal for warm conditions.

What safety standards do these shoes meet?

These shoes meet the S1P safety standard, which includes features like a steel toecap, a pierce-resistant steel midsole, and anti-static properties.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a soft brush for general dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.

Can I wear these shoes in environments with oily surfaces?

Yes, the outsole is fuel and oil resistant and features an SRC slip-resistant rating, offering good performance on ceramic and steel surfaces, including those with oil.

Do these shoes offer ankle support?

These are low-cut shoes and primarily offer protection at the toe and underfoot. For significant ankle support requirements, higher cut safety boots might be more suitable.

Are the safety components made of steel or composite materials?

The toecap and midsole in this model are made of steel.

Troubleshooting

Reduced breathability

Ensure the perforations in the upper are not blocked by dirt or debris. Clean the shoes as per care instructions. Check that the inner lining is dry.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify that the correct shoe size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods. Ensure socks are clean and free of wrinkles. The padded collar and energy-absorbing sole should provide comfort, but individual fit can vary.

Slipping persists despite SRC rating

Inspect the outsole for wear or damage. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any contaminants that might be reducing grip. Be aware that extreme contamination levels can affect any outsole's performance.

Signs of wear on suede material

Address minor scuffs with a suede brush. For significant wear, consider professional cleaning or replacement if the structural integrity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  • Outsole: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean with water and a brush if necessary.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
