Product Overview
The Portwest Steel Leather Mid Boot S1P FO is a dependable choice for those requiring robust protection without unnecessary complexity. Crafted with a focus on essential safety and daily comfort, this unisex boot provides a secure fit for a wide range of professionals. It offers a straightforward approach to foot protection, combining traditional materials with the necessary safety specifications required for modern industrial environments.
Key Features
The integrated steel toecap provides essential protection against impact and compression, ensuring your feet remain safe from falling objects or heavy equipment.
A puncture-resistant steel midsole acts as a vital barrier, preventing sharp objects like nails or shards from piercing the sole and injuring your foot.
The fuel and oil-resistant outsole ensures you maintain reliable traction in environments where spills are common, reducing the risk of slips.
Antistatic properties help to dissipate electrostatic charges, making these boots suitable for environments where static build-up must be managed.
An energy-absorbing heel reduces the strain on your joints during long shifts on hard surfaces, providing much-needed comfort throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a substantial leather upper, these boots are designed to withstand the rigours of a busy workplace. The mid-cut design offers additional support around the ankle compared to a standard safety shoe, which is particularly beneficial when navigating uneven floors or debris. The leather material is naturally resilient and, when properly maintained, provides a durable outer layer that protects against scuffs and scrapes. The interior is designed to be breathable, ensuring that even during more active shifts, your feet remain at a comfortable temperature.
Why No Customisation?
This item is sold as-is, without customisation. Safety boots are precision-engineered pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) that have undergone rigorous testing to meet specific safety standards. Adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the leather or interfere with the boot's safety certifications. By providing these boots in their original condition, we ensure that the protective features remain fully intact for your safety.
Use Cases
These boots are ideally suited for warehouse operatives, construction workers, and tradespeople who require standard S1P protection. They are a practical choice for anyone working in light industry, maintenance, or logistics where a sturdy, protective boot is a mandatory requirement for site safety.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that these boots are designed to be unisex. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend opting for your usual size to allow room for thicker work socks, which can provide additional cushioning and prevent rubbing during the breaking-in period.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of the leather, it is important to keep the boots clean. We recommend using a damp cloth to remove mud and grit after each shift, as allowing dirt to dry onto the leather can cause it to crack over time.
If your boots become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. You should never place them directly against a heater or radiator, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and weaken the adhesives used in the sole construction.
Applying a suitable leather conditioner or polish periodically will help to keep the material supple and maintain its natural water-resistant properties. This simple routine will ensure your boots remain comfortable and effective for as long as possible.
