The Portwest FD26 is a lightweight composite high boot for heavy duty work, manual groundwork and ladder use in demanding conditions. Water resistant full grain leather and a waterproof, breathable membrane help keep your feet dry. Insulation suits both cold and hot environments.
The upper builds in non-metallic metatarsal protection, a tough scuff cap, a reinforced counter and ankle protection zones. Underneath, a dual density PU/rubber outsole adds heat resistance and a certified ladder grip. A digging plate and rigid arch reinforcement give extra support when you work a spade.
