The Portwest FV05 is a waterproof mid-height safety boot for work in wet, changeable weather and demanding conditions underfoot. A waterproof membrane and bellows tongue help keep your feet dry. A composite toecap and composite midsole protect against impact and sharp objects from below.
Reinforced scuff and heel areas help the leather keep its condition for longer. A reflective window in the heel counter makes you easier to see in low light. The wire lace system lets you fasten and adjust the boot quickly through the day.
