What does S7L mean on a work boot?
The S7L rating means it is a waterproof S7 boot with a non-metallic penetration resistant midsole; electrostatic discharge control, for handling sensitive electronics; a heat resistant outsole tested to 300 degrees, for hot surfaces; cold insulation of the sole complex, for freezer and winter work.
Is this a steel or composite toecap?
Composite. The Compositelite Traction Boot 7 inch uses a non-metallic composite toecap, so it is lighter than steel and will not conduct heat or cold.
What size should I order?
Portwest footwear runs in full EU sizes (38-48). If you are between sizes or wear thick socks, take the larger size.
Can these handle hot surfaces?
Yes. The HRO outsole is heat resistant to 300 degrees for short contact with hot floors and surfaces.
Are they waterproof?
Yes. A waterproof membrane keeps feet dry in standing water and prolonged wet.
