Product Overview
The PU Safety Wellington S5 FO CI SR is a sophisticated protective solution designed for professionals who require more than just a standard waterproof boot. Built with a focus on both thermal regulation and physical resilience, this green wellington utilizes a specially engineered PU compound. This material features an internal air bubble formula that provides superior flexibility and durability, ensuring the boot moves with the wearer rather than resisting movement. This construction also provides a natural thermal barrier, keeping feet warm during the winter months and maintaining a cooler internal temperature during the summer.
Key Features
- Steel Toecap: Provides vital protection against heavy falling objects and compression, meeting rigorous safety standards.
- Steel Midsole: An integrated layer that protects the sole of the foot from penetration by sharp objects on the ground.
- CI Cold Insulation: Specifically tested to maintain performance and comfort in temperatures as low as -17°C, making it suitable for sub-zero environments.
- SR Slip Resistance: Engineered for maximum traction on slippery surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
- Fuel Oil Resistant Outsole: Ensures the boot remains stable and does not degrade when in contact with hydrocarbons.
- Anti-Static Properties: Helps prevent the build-up of static electricity, which is essential in specific industrial settings.
Design & Performance
The performance of these boots is rooted in the single-density mono PU construction of both the upper and the outsole. Unlike standard rubber boots, the PU compound used here is resistant to the cracking and hardening typically caused by temperature fluctuations. The design includes specially contoured panelling that reinforces high-abrasion areas, extending the service life of the product in demanding roles. At over two kilograms per pair, these are substantial, sturdy boots that provide a stable platform for a full day's work. The inclusion of a kick-off lug at the heel allows for effortless removal, protecting the structure of the boot from unnecessary stress.
Why No Customisation?
Due to the specific safety classifications of this footwear and its construction from single-density PU, we do not offer customisation or branding on this product. Adding embroidery or heat-applied logos could compromise the waterproof integrity and structural safety of the boot, potentially voiding its EN ISO 20345:2022 certification. This item is sold as-is to ensure your protection remains uncompromised.
Use Cases
These wellingtons are specifically designed for high-intensity environments such as industrial kitchens, butchers, and cold storage facilities. They are also highly effective for agricultural work and construction sites where cold insulation and slip resistance are paramount. Their resistance to fuel and oil makes them an excellent choice for workers in the petrochemical or transport industries who face liquid hazards daily.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend accounting for the type of socks you will be wearing. Given the cold insulation properties, these boots are often paired with thicker thermal socks, so ensure there is enough room to maintain circulation. The removable footbed is a useful feature for those who require custom orthotic inserts or who wish to refresh the internal cushioning periodically.
Caring for your product
To ensure your safety wellingtons remain in peak condition, regular maintenance is required. After each shift, rinse the exterior with clean water to remove any corrosive substances, salts, or chemicals. Allowing these to sit on the PU material for extended periods can cause the compound to stiffen or degrade prematurely.
The removable footbed is washable at 30°C. We recommend washing it regularly to maintain hygiene and manage moisture levels within the boot. Failure to clean the footbed can lead to bacterial growth and reduced comfort.
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the PU to warp or become brittle, which may negatively impact both the fit and the safety performance of the footwear.
