Product Overview
The Portwest Compositelite All Weather Boot S7S FO SR is a high-specification safety boot designed to provide comprehensive protection without the cumbersome weight of traditional steel components. Constructed with a premium Crazy Horse leather upper, this boot is engineered for professionals who require a robust footwear solution that can withstand the rigours of outdoor work and unpredictable weather. The integration of a waterproof and breathable lining ensures that your feet remain dry in wet conditions while allowing internal moisture to escape, maintaining a comfortable environment throughout a long shift.
Key Features
- Non-Metallic Protection: By utilising composite materials for protection, these boots offer a lightweight alternative to steel, which reduces wearer fatigue and prevents the conduction of cold in winter temperatures.
- Waterproof and Breathable Membrane: This technical lining acts as a barrier against external moisture while ensuring air circulation, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in challenging climates.
- Dual Density PU/TPU Outsole: The combination of Polyurethane and Thermoplastic Polyurethane provides a hard-wearing exterior for longevity and a softer interior for enhanced comfort.
- Slip Resistant (SR) and Antistatic Properties: The outsole is specifically designed to provide superior grip on various surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slips and trips in the workplace.
- Integrated Scuff Cap: A reinforced protective cap over the toe area prevents premature wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the boot for those frequently working on their knees.
Design & Performance
The choice of Crazy Horse leather for the upper is not merely aesthetic; this material is renowned for its durability and natural water resistance. Over time, the leather develops a unique character while maintaining its structural integrity. Underneath, the dual-density PU/TPU outsole is engineered to provide a shock-absorbing seat region. This feature is critical for professionals who spend many hours on their feet, as it helps to dissipate the energy of each step, reducing strain on the lower back and joints.
The non-metallic construction is a significant performance advantage for those working in environments with metal detectors, such as airports or high-security facilities. Furthermore, the boot meets the EN ISO 20345:2022 S7S standard, confirming its status as a piece of safety equipment capable of meeting modern industrial demands.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), these boots are sold without customisation options. Adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers to safety footwear could potentially compromise the integrity of the waterproof membrane or the structural leather. To ensure the product maintains its EN ISO 20345 safety certification and provides the intended level of protection, we provide these boots in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
While the technical specifications make these boots ideal for construction and outdoor maintenance, the S7S rating and easy-to-clean leather also make them suitable for demanding roles in the catering, butchery, and bakery sectors where foot protection and slip resistance are paramount. They are equally at home on a muddy site or in a commercial kitchen environment.
Why MyWorkwear

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear. For safety boots of this substantial build, a quality pair of work socks can improve the fit and provide additional cushioning. We recommend a short breaking-in period to allow the Crazy Horse leather to supple and conform to the shape of your foot for maximum comfort.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your footwear is essential to ensure it continues to provide the protection and performance you expect. We recommend cleaning your boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allowing mud to dry on the leather can lead to cracking over time, which compromises the boot's water resistance.
If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as this will cause the leather to become brittle and may damage the internal waterproof membrane. Periodically applying a suitable leather conditioner will help keep the Crazy Horse leather supple and maintain its natural protective oils.
