Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Occupational Wellingtons are designed for adults working in agriculture, fisheries, janitorial, and light industrial sectors who require reliable, waterproof foot protection. They provide excellent value through a durable, fuel-and-oil-resistant outsole and energy-absorbing construction that reduces fatigue during long shifts. While these boots offer high-level functional protection and a convenient kick-spur for removal, they are intended for occupational use and do not feature a steel toe cap, which may limit their utility in heavy-duty construction environments requiring safety-rated toe protection.

Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for debris or mud buildup; clear the treads to restore maximum grip.
Difficult to remove after a shift

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no break-in period and are ready for use straight out of the box. To maintain their longevity, it is recommended to wash the exterior with clean water and a mild soap after exposure to harsh chemicals, fuels, or mud. Do not store the boots in direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade the polymer material over time. Ensure the boots are kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area when not in use. While the sizing is standard UK 13, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear, as the boot features a generous fit for ease of entry.
