FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Portwest FW02 Steelite Perforated Trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. Water may ingress through the perforated upper.

What does S1P certification mean?

S1P certification indicates that the footwear has a closed heel, is energy-absorbing in the heel region, is resistant to fuel oil, has a protective midsole to prevent penetration by sharp objects, and includes a protective toecap resistant to 200 joules impact.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth is recommended, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive moisture and consider a suede protector spray.

Can I wear these for general walking or hiking?

While comfortable for work environments, these are safety trainers designed for industrial or workshop use. They may not provide the specific support or durability required for extensive outdoor activities like hiking.

What is the SRC rating on the outsole?

SRC is the highest slip resistance rating, meaning the outsole has been tested on both ceramic tile with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and steel floor with glycerol, providing excellent grip on these surfaces.

Are these trainers suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the perforated upper and breathable lining are specifically designed to enhance ventilation and comfort in warm working conditions.

Troubleshooting

Reduced breathability over time

Ensure the perforated areas are clear of dirt and debris. Clean the lining as per care instructions. Consider replacing the insoles if they have become compacted.

Slipping on surfaces

Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the slipping persists on surfaces where high grip is expected, the outsole may be worn and require replacement of the footwear.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify the correct size is being worn. Ensure socks are appropriate for work footwear. Consider using additional insoles for enhanced cushioning if needed.

Water ingress through perforations

These trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider footwear with a waterproof membrane or higher ankle protection.
