Their key benefit is enhanced airflow to keep feet cool, though they are best suited for dry environments due to their suede material.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the perforated upper is designed for enhanced breathability, making them ideal for warm conditions. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat may still cause discomfort.

What does S1P certification mean?

S1P certification indicates the footwear has a protective toecap, is anti-static, has energy absorption in the heel, and features a pierce-resistant midsole.

Can I wear these for heavy construction work?

These trainers offer good protection for light industrial tasks. For heavy construction work with significant risks of falling objects or heavy impacts, steel-toe-capped boots might offer more comprehensive protection.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the suede.

Are they waterproof?

No, the Portwest FW02 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and protection in dry to mildly damp conditions. The suede material will absorb water.

What is the slip resistance rating (SRC)?

SRC is the highest slip resistance rating, meaning the shoes have been tested on ceramic tile with SLS and on steel floor with glycerin, providing excellent grip on these surfaces.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of PU/PU (Polyurethane/Polyurethane), offering durability and slip resistance.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a half-size larger if discomfort persists. Allow a short break-in period.

Reduced breathability over time.

Clean the perforated areas of the upper gently with a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust or debris that may be blocking airflow.

Sole feels slippery despite SRC rating.

Ensure the sole is clean and free from oil, grease, or mud, as these can reduce slip resistance. The SRC rating indicates performance on *specific* clean ceramic and steel surfaces.

Suede material getting wet.

These trainers are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider a different model designed for water resistance. Allow suede to air dry completely and brush to restore texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability for warm working conditions.
  • Robust protection with steel toecap and midsole.
  • High level of slip resistance on common industrial surfaces.
  • Comfortable design with padded collar and energy-absorbing heel.
  • Durable construction with a premium suede upper.

Cons

  • Suede material may not be ideal for very wet or muddy environments.
  • Low-cut design offers less ankle support compared to boots.
  • Steel components add some weight to the trainers.
  • Primarily designed for work environments, may lack fashion appeal for casual wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear to work.

Compatibility:

The Portwest FW02 trainers are CE certified and comply with EN ISO 20345 S1P standards. They are designed for general workplace use where protection against mechanical risks and slips is required. They are compatible with anti-static requirements. Ensure the specific demands of your work environment align with the S1P safety rating.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Suede Upper: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the suede. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Sole Cleaning: Wipe the PU/PU sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent damage.
