Heavy-Duty Welted Boots Built to Last Years, Not Months

The Portwest FW35 Steelite Welted Plus Safety Boot is serious footwear for serious industrial work. Welted construction means you can resole these when they wear out - extending their lifespan far beyond standard safety boots. Combine that with full-grain nubuck leather and heat-resistant soles, and you've got boots that justify the investment.

Key Features:

• Welted Construction: Traditional Goodyear welting allows for resoling when the outsole wears down. These boots can be repaired rather than replaced, saving money over the long term and reducing waste.
  
• Steel Protection: Steel toecap and steel midsole provide comprehensive foot protection. The midsole adds penetration resistance against sharp objects coming through the sole - critical on construction sites and metal fabrication workshops.
  
• Extreme Heat Resistance: The rubber outsole withstands contact heat up to 300°C (572°F). Foundry workers, welders, and anyone working near hot surfaces get real protection where cheaper boots would melt.
  
• Full-Grain Nubuck Leather: Tougher than standard leather. Resists abrasion, water, and the daily battering of industrial environments. Breaks in comfortably but stays protective for years.
  
• SRA Slip Resistance: Tested and certified for slip resistance on ceramic surfaces. The outsole also resists fuel and oil - essential for mechanics, engineers, and plant maintenance teams.
  
• Reinforced Ankle Support: Extra support around the ankle reduces fatigue during long shifts and provides protection against rolling injuries on uneven ground.
  
• Heel Kick Feature: Practical design detail that lets you kick these off quickly at the end of the day without bending down or using your hands.
  
• SBP HRO Rating: Meets EN ISO 20345 standards with SBP classification (steel toecap plus penetration resistance) and HRO rating (heat resistant outsole). Also compliant with AS 2210.3:2019 for international use.
