Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of a side zip safety boot?
The side zip closure on the FS008 Lancaster provides quick and convenient access, allowing you to put on and remove the boot in seconds without fully unlacing. This is particularly beneficial for workers who frequently move between environments, such as delivery drivers, engineers, or those who need to change footwear multiple times per day. The zip runs the full length of the boot whilst maintaining a secure lace-up fit for adjustability and comfort.
Does the side zip affect the safety rating of the boot?
No, the side zip does not compromise safety. The Amblers FS008 Lancaster is fully certified to EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 SRC, meeting all required safety standards including steel toe cap protection, penetration resistance, and slip resistance. The zip is designed to work alongside the lace-up system, ensuring the boot remains secure and protective during wear.
Is the Amblers FS008 Lancaster waterproof?
The FS008 Lancaster features a water-resistant full-grain leather upper, which provides protection against light rain and wet conditions. However, as an S3 rated boot, it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to very wet conditions or standing water, a fully waterproof boot with membrane construction would be more suitable.
Does the Amblers FS008 Lancaster run true to size?
Yes, the Amblers FS008 Lancaster runs true to size based on customer feedback and professional fitting experience. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The combination of lace-up closure and side zip allows for easy adjustment to achieve a comfortable, secure fit throughout your working day.
What industries is the Amblers FS008 Lancaster suitable for?
The FS008 Lancaster is suitable for a wide range of industries including construction, building trades, warehousing, logistics, delivery services, manufacturing, and engineering. The S3 SRC certification makes it appropriate for environments requiring steel toe protection, penetration resistance, and slip resistance. The convenient side zip makes it particularly popular with mobile workers and engineers who make multiple site visits throughout the day.
