Was dubious about buying, a bag, of the beeswift mp1 gloves, as I was actually looking for an alternate brand, I've had gloves before that were all bundled together, where the rubber was too hard and the material like an old rope, the company sent them out really fast delivery, individually wrapped, premium gloves, really happy, top drawer, as these will be stored in the garage, no damp or spider issues, big thanks to George @ gloves & stuff.

Metal-Free Protection That Doesn't Weigh You Down
The Portwest FC18 Apex Composite Mid Safety Boot delivers serious protection without the bulk of traditional steel-toed boots. Built with a 100% metal-free construction, these mid-height boots are perfect for electricians, ESD-sensitive environments, and anyone working around security checkpoints. The composite toe cap and non-metallic penetration-resistant midsole give you full S3S-rated protection that won't set off metal detectors.
Key Features:
-
Composite Safety Toe Cap: Lightweight, non-magnetic protection that's 30% lighter than steel. Includes reinforced scuff protection to handle kneeling and toe drag without wearing through.
-
Heat-Resistant Outsole (HRO): Rated to 300°C contact heat. Walk across hot asphalt, welding sparks, or factory floors without worrying about sole meltdown. The PU/rubber dual-density construction also resists fuel and oil.
-
Side Zipper Access: Water-repellent zipper lets you get these boots on and off in seconds. No more wrestling with laces when you're in a hurry or wearing gloves.
-
ESD Compliant: Meets IEC 61340-5-1:2016 standards for electrostatic discharge protection. Essential for electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical work, or anywhere static buildup could damage sensitive equipment.
-
Action Leather Upper: Durable leather construction with water penetration resistance keeps feet dry in light rain and damp conditions. Reflective trim improves visibility in low light.
-
Superior Slip Resistance (SR): Advanced tread pattern grips on wet, oily, and uneven surfaces. The dual-density sole also absorbs impact at the heel, reducing fatigue during long shifts on concrete.
-
EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S Certified: Meets the latest safety standards with anti-static properties, energy-absorbing heel, penetration resistance, and water-resistant upper. CE certified by TUV SUD Danmark (Notified Body 2443).
Portwest's CompositeLite collection combines modern materials with practical design. Available in Black/Yellow (BKY) and Black/Blue (BKB) colourways, sizes 35-47. Order now for metal-free protection that doesn't compromise on safety.
