EE Wide Fitting. Maximum Internal Volume. All-Weather Protection.
The Amblers AS803 Durham is specifically engineered for the professional who finds standard "wide-fit" boots too restrictive.

It is the premier choice for UK workers with broader feet who require a high-spec, reliable boot that offers comfort from the very first wear.
Certified to the updated EN ISO 20345:2022 standards, the AS803 doesn't just offer extra room—it offers total security.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does EE wide fit mean?
EE wide fit refers to extra wide sizing, specifically designed for workers with broader feet. This fitting provides additional room across the toe box and midfoot area, preventing the discomfort, pinching, and pressure points that standard width boots often cause during long working shifts. The EE designation indicates the boot is two widths wider than standard D width footwear.
Is the Amblers AS803 fully waterproof?
Yes, the Amblers AS803 features fully waterproof construction that keeps feet dry in wet working conditions, outdoor environments, and when exposed to water and moisture. This makes it particularly suitable for construction sites, outdoor work, and any environment where workers encounter rain, puddles, or wet surfaces throughout their working day.
What does the HRO rating mean?
The HRO rating indicates that the outsole is heat resistant to contact temperatures up to 300°C. This makes the Amblers AS803 ideal for workers exposed to hot surfaces, including foundries, welding operations, hot tarmac work, and other environments where contact with high temperature surfaces is a risk. The sole maintains its protective properties and structural integrity even when exposed to extreme heat.
Does the Amblers AS803 run true to size?
Yes, customer feedback and professional testing confirm that the Amblers AS803 runs true to size. Workers should order their normal UK shoe size in the wide fitting. The extra width is built into the design specifically for broader feet, so sizing down is not recommended as this would compromise the wide fit benefit.
