The Portwest FT08 is a composite safety trainer for work in dry and warm conditions. Its knitted upper keeps weight down and lets air through. A composite toecap and pierce-resistant midsole protect the foot underfoot and at the toe.
The wire lace system is what sets it apart. It laces faster and releases quickly. It also spreads tension evenly across the foot, giving secure, supportive hold for a range of foot shapes.
