The Portwest FC17 is a lightweight safety hiker boot for work on uneven ground, in wet weather and around hot or oily surfaces. The water-resistant full grain nubuck leather upper and bellow tongue help keep your feet dry. Composite protection at the toe and underfoot keeps the boot light.
The dual density sole unit resists fuel, oil and heat up to 300ºC, with a slip-resistant tread for ceramic and steel floors. Engineered ankle support adds stability on rough terrain. A protective scuff cap guards the toe area against wear.
