Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dealer boot and why is it convenient?

A dealer boot, also known as a Chelsea boot, features a pull-on design with elastic side panels that allow quick and easy entry and removal without laces or zippers. The Amblers FS116 is ideal for workers who need to remove their footwear frequently throughout the day, such as mechanics working on vehicles, delivery drivers entering homes or businesses, construction workers moving between sites, or anyone who values time-saving convenience. The elasticated gussets stretch to accommodate your foot during entry, then provide a secure, comfortable fit during wear. This design eliminates the time spent lacing and unlacing traditional boots, making the FS116 perfect for workers who prioritize quick access while maintaining comprehensive steel toe and penetration protection.

What does SBP SRC rating mean?

The SBP SRC rating under EN ISO 20345:2011 provides enhanced safety protection suitable for construction and workshop environments. SBP includes steel toe cap protection tested to 200 Joules impact resistance and 15,000 Newtons compression resistance, plus a penetration resistant midsole tested to 1100 Newtons that protects against sharp objects like nails, metal shards, and construction debris. SRC indicates the highest level of slip resistance, passing tests on both wet ceramic tile with cleaning agent (SRA) and steel with glycerol (SRB). This makes the FS116 suitable for light construction sites, automotive workshops, warehousing operations with sharp materials, and environments where both toe protection, underfoot protection, and slip resistance are required. For environments requiring higher protection with water resistance, consider S3 rated boots.

Does the elastic side panel compromise safety or security?

No, the elastic side panels on the Amblers FS116 are engineered to provide both convenience and security. The high-quality elasticated gussets create a snug, secure fit around the ankle and lower leg, ensuring the boot stays firmly in place during work activities. The boot maintains full SBP safety certification with steel toe cap and penetration resistant midsole, meeting the same rigorous safety standards as lace-up boots. The elastic panels accommodate various leg widths while maintaining stability, and the robust construction ensures the boot provides reliable protection throughout demanding workdays without any compromise in safety performance. The pull-on design is trusted by workers worldwide in construction and workshop environments where both convenience and comprehensive protection are essential.

Does the Amblers FS116 run true to size?

Yes, the Amblers FS116 fits true to size. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The elasticated side panels provide flexibility and accommodate various leg widths, ensuring a comfortable fit for different calf sizes. Customer feedback consistently reports the FS116 is comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in period required. The elastic gussets stretch during entry and then provide a secure fit around the ankle. The leather upper will conform slightly to your foot during the break-in period for a personalized fit. If you prefer thick work socks or have particularly wide calves, the elastic panels will accommodate this naturally without requiring a larger size.

Is the Amblers FS116 suitable for construction sites?

Yes, the Amblers FS116 is suitable for light construction sites and workshop environments. The SBP rating provides essential toe cap protection and penetration resistant midsole, which is important for construction environments where nails, sharp metal, and debris are common hazards. The SRC slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces ensures reliable traction on construction site floors and materials. However, for heavy outdoor construction work in wet conditions, consider boots with S3 rating that include water resistance. The FS116 excels in light construction tasks, indoor construction work, renovation projects, workshop environments, and construction sites where the convenience of pull-on access is valued alongside comprehensive toe and penetration protection. The dealer boot design makes it particularly popular with construction workers who transition between sites frequently throughout the day.
