The Portwest FV06 is a men’s mid safety boot for demanding work where you need foot protection, dry feet and good visibility. It combines a full grain nubuck leather upper with a waterproof membrane, a composite toe cap and a pierce resistant composite midsole.
The dual-density PU outsole gives cushioning underfoot and a slip resistant tread, with an integrated ladder grip for work at height. A cushioned footbed with extra underfoot padding helps reduce foot fatigue on long shifts. Being completely metal free, the boot suits sites with metal detectors.
Key features
- Waterproof membrane and bellows tongue help keep water out and your feet dry
- Composite toe cap and pierce resistant composite midsole protect the foot from impact and sharp objects underfoot
- 100% metal free, non-magnetic and free from nickel and ferrous metals, so it is friendly to metal detectors
- Dual-density PU outsole combines underfoot cushioning with slip resistance, and resists fuel and oil
- Integrated ladder grip gives a secure footing on ladder rungs
- Cushioned comfort footbed and energy absorbing seat region reduce fatigue and absorb shock at the heel
- Protective scuff cap guards the toe area against wear when kneeling or working close to the ground
- Padded collar, angled top line for leg flexibility and a back pull-tab for getting the boot on easily

Visibility
Highly reflective materials cover around 30% of the boot’s surface, with a reflective label too. Reflective elements on moving parts of the body, such as the ankles, help others recognise you sooner, so this boot adds visibility around the foot and ankle in low light.
Care
Follow the care instructions on the label.
