FAQ: Professional Work Boots

What is the difference between S4 and S5 boots?

Both are waterproof and equipped with a toe cap. The S5 boot differs in that it has an anti-drilling foil in the sole, which is mandatory in construction and where there is a risk of stepping on sharp objects.

What makes Nitrile boots better than plain PVC?

The Nitrile compound adds resistance to animal oils, vegetable fats and hydrocarbons. It is ideal for butcher shops, dairies and machine shops where standard PVC would tend to stiffen and crack.

Are there padded winter boots available?

Yes, many Portwest models offer thermal linings or synthetic fur padding, ensuring comfort even in cold storage or outdoor work during winter time.
