Metal-Free Protection That Doesn't Weigh You Down

The Portwest FC18 Apex Composite Mid Safety Boot delivers serious protection without the bulk of traditional steel-toed boots. Built with a 100% metal-free construction, these mid-height boots are perfect for electricians, ESD-sensitive environments, and anyone working around security checkpoints. The composite toe cap and non-metallic penetration-resistant midsole give you full S3S-rated protection that won't set off metal detectors.

Key Features:

• Composite Safety Toe Cap: Lightweight, non-magnetic protection that's 30% lighter than steel. Includes reinforced scuff protection to handle kneeling and toe drag without wearing through.
  
• Heat-Resistant Outsole (HRO): Rated to 300°C contact heat. Walk across hot asphalt, welding sparks, or factory floors without worrying about sole meltdown. The PU/rubber dual-density construction also resists fuel and oil.
  
• Side Zipper Access: Water-repellent zipper lets you get these boots on and off in seconds. No more wrestling with laces when you're in a hurry or wearing gloves.
  
• ESD Compliant: Meets IEC 61340-5-1:2016 standards for electrostatic discharge protection. Essential for electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical work, or anywhere static buildup could damage sensitive equipment.
  
• Action Leather Upper: Durable leather construction with water penetration resistance keeps feet dry in light rain and damp conditions. Reflective trim improves visibility in low light.
  
• Superior Slip Resistance (SR): Advanced tread pattern grips on wet, oily, and uneven surfaces. The dual-density sole also absorbs impact at the heel, reducing fatigue during long shifts on concrete.
  
• EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S Certified: Meets the latest safety standards with anti-static properties, energy-absorbing heel, penetration resistance, and water-resistant upper. CE certified by TUV SUD Danmark (Notified Body 2443).
