Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Occupational PVC Wellington O4 FO is a durable, waterproof boot designed for professionals in agriculture, fisheries, janitorial, and light industrial sectors. It offers essential safety features like anti-static protection, energy absorption, and an oil-resistant outsole to keep the wearer secure and comfortable in demanding environments. While highly functional and easy to maintain, it is an occupational-grade boot and lacks the steel-toe reinforcement found in heavy-duty safety footwear.

FAQs
Are these boots steel-toed?
No, the O4 FO rating indicates these are occupational boots without protective steel or composite toe caps.
Can I use these for chemical handling?
While the outsole is fuel and oil-resistant, they are not specialized chemical-resistant safety boots; please check specific site safety requirements.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These boots generally follow standard UK sizing; choose the same size you would for regular outdoor footwear, allowing for the thickness of the socks you intend to wear.
Are they suitable for extreme cold?
PVC can become rigid in sub-zero temperatures. If working in deep winter conditions, consider wearing thermal-rated work socks.
Can the inner lining be removed?
No, the interior is molded as part of the boot construction for maximum waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Accumulated dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush and running water to dislodge debris from the slip-resistant grooves.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate work socks that provide adequate padding and moisture-wicking.
Difficulty removing the boots
Utilize the built-in kick spur on the heel to leverage the boot off using your other foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These wellingtons require no special setup; they are ready for use immediately. For care, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after use. If the boots become heavily soiled, you can rinse them with fresh water or a mild soap solution. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the PVC to crack or lose its shape. Ensure the fit is appropriate for your daily socks to avoid friction and blisters during long periods of wear.
