Old-School Construction Meets Modern Protection

The Portwest FW16 Steelite Welted Safety Boot is built for workers who need serious protection in demanding environments. Traditional Goodyear welt construction means these boots can be resoled and repaired – they're designed to last years, not months. Perfect for construction sites, warehouses, and manufacturing floors where impact hazards and hot surfaces are part of the daily routine.

Key Features:

• Steel Toecap & Midsole: Full protection against impact and penetration hazards. The steel midsole stops nails and sharp objects from coming through the sole – critical for construction and industrial sites.
  
• Heat-Resistant Outsole (HRO): Handles contact heat up to 300°C (572°F). Walk confidently across hot metal surfaces, fresh tarmac, or near welding areas without worrying about sole melt.
  
• Traditional Welt Construction: The welted sole attachment creates exceptional durability. This tried-and-tested method bonds the upper to the sole with stitching that can withstand years of heavy use.
  
• Action Leather Upper: Robust leather construction stands up to rough treatment. Resists abrasion, scuffs, and general wear better than synthetic materials.
  
• Slip & Oil Resistant: SRA-rated rubber outsole grips contaminated surfaces. Works effectively on ceramic tiles with cleaning agents – tested and proven slip resistance.
  
• Padded Collar: Cushioned ankle support reduces fatigue during long shifts. Prevents the chafing and rubbing that makes cheap boots unbearable by lunchtime.
  
• SBP HRO Safety Rating: Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 +A1:2024 by TÜV SÜD Danmark. Meets rigorous European safety standards for basic safety footwear with puncture resistance and heat-resistant outsole.
