Product Overview
The Portwest Compositelite Trekker Plus Boot S1P is a masterclass in safety footwear engineering, designed for professionals who require robust protection without the burden of traditional metal components. Built to meet the EN ISO 20345: 2011 S1P standard, this boot offers comprehensive safety features including toe protection and pierce resistance. The defining characteristic of the Trekker Plus is its 100% non-metallic construction, making it an essential choice for those working in environments with metal detectors or high-security requirements. Its black finish provides a professional aesthetic suitable for a wide variety of industrial and service sectors.
Key Features
- 100% Non-Metallic Construction: By utilising composite materials rather than steel, these boots are lightweight and scanners-friendly, ensuring you won't trigger metal detectors during security checks.
- Integrated TPR External Chassis System: This advanced design provides 360-degree ankle support, significantly reducing the risk of strains and injuries on uneven terrain or during long shifts.
- S1P Safety Rating: This certification ensures that the boot provides impact protection and puncture resistance, safeguarding your feet against common workplace hazards.
- Compositelite Technology: Provides the strength of traditional safety footwear while maintaining a more comfortable weight for all-day wear.
Design & Performance
The design of the FC65 focuses heavily on stability and durability. The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) chassis is not merely an aesthetic addition; it acts as a structural cage that stabilizes the foot and ankle, which is vital for those navigating busy kitchens or industrial floors. Despite its sturdy and substantial feel, the boot remains flexible enough to allow for a natural range of motion. The non-metallic nature of the internal safety components also means the boot does not conduct cold or heat as readily as steel, providing better thermal comfort in varying temperatures.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Portwest Trekker Plus Boot to ensure the absolute integrity of your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification to safety footwear, such as embroidery or heat-pressing logos, could potentially damage the specialized fabrics or compromise the safety certifications (EN ISO 20345) that protect you on the job. Your safety is our priority, and we provide these boots as-is to guarantee they perform exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Use Cases
This boot is particularly well-suited for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, including chefs, bakers, and butchers, where slip resistance and toe protection are paramount. It is also an excellent choice for security personnel, airport staff, and warehouse workers who frequently pass through metal detectors and require a boot that offers high-level ankle support for active roles.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that technical safety boots are often worn with thicker work socks. To get the most benefit from the TPR ankle support system, ensure the boots are laced securely to the top eyelet, providing a snug fit that prevents internal foot movement. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to allow for natural foot swelling during long shifts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Trekker Plus boots, it is essential to keep them clean and well-maintained. We recommend regularly removing surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allowing dirt to build up can cause the materials to degrade prematurely and may affect the breathability of the boot.
If your boots become wet, always allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a radiator or heat source, as excessive heat can cause the composite materials to become brittle and the adhesives to fail, compromising the structural integrity of the chassis.
Regularly inspect the soles for trapped debris to ensure the slip-resistant properties remain effective. Proper care ensures that your investment continues to provide the high level of protection you require throughout its service life.
