The Portwest B0696 is a high-quality S2 safety shoe specifically designed for professionals who spend long days on hard work floors. This comfortable safety shoe from the Base Record collection offers the ideal balance between active protection and an ergonomic fit. Thanks to its water-repellent upper and advanced sole technology, this model is extremely well-suited for demanding work environments where hygiene, safety, and long-lasting comfort must go hand in hand.
For which specific tasks and sectors is this S2 safety shoe most suitable?
This S2 safety shoe is ideally suited for the food industry, hospitality, catering, and medical sectors. Thanks to the water-repellent upper, your feet will stay dry during cleaning tasks or in the event of liquid spills.
Furthermore, the model is completely metal-free, making the shoe ideal for environments with metal detectors, such as secure zones and distribution centers. The sole is also resistant to hydrocarbons, ensuring you remain stable and safe even on slippery work floors.
What does the S2 rating mean for the safety of this Portwest B0696?
The S2 rating guarantees that this safety shoe is equipped with a protective toe cap capable of withstanding an impact of 200 joules. Additionally, the shoe features a closed heel area, antistatic properties, and energy absorption in the heel to combat fatigue.
The most important difference compared to an S1 shoe is the water-repellent upper material, which effectively prevents water penetration over a longer period. This makes the shoe perfect for damp working conditions.
The shoe offers an excellent fit for both men and women and is suitable for a custom-made orthopedic footbed in accordance with the DGUV112-191 standard.
