What does S1P mean on a work boot?
The S1P rating means it is everything in S1 plus a penetration resistant midsole, so it guards against sharp objects underfoot; a heat resistant outsole tested to 300 degrees, for hot surfaces; the top slip resistance rating, tested on both ceramic and steel floors; cold insulation of the sole complex, for freezer and winter work.
Is this a steel or composite toecap?
Steel. The Steelite Rigger Boot Unlined uses a steel toecap and midsole for robust, proven protection.
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.
