Frequently Asked Questions
What does S3 SRC safety rating mean?
The S3 SRC rating under EN ISO 20345:2011 provides comprehensive workplace protection suitable for most construction and industrial environments. S3 includes steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact resistance, steel penetration resistant midsole to protect against sharp objects, water resistant upper, antistatic properties, and energy absorbing heel. 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 FS199 suitable for construction sites, warehousing operations, light industrial facilities, and general trade work where comprehensive protection against impact, penetration, moisture, and slip hazards is required.
Is the Amblers FS199 waterproof or water resistant?
The Amblers FS199 features a water resistant leather upper, which means it resists water penetration and protects against workplace spills, light rain, and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged water immersion or extremely wet conditions. The water resistant construction is ideal for construction sites, warehousing, and light industrial work where feet may encounter splashes, damp surfaces, or light outdoor exposure, but not standing water or heavy rain. The S3 rating confirms the water resistant properties meet the standard requirements. For work requiring complete waterproof protection in very wet conditions, consider boots with WR or WP waterproof ratings specifically designed for prolonged water exposure.
Does the Amblers FS199 run true to size?
Yes, the Amblers FS199 fits true to size. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The boot provides a secure, comfortable fit with standard width that accommodates most foot shapes. Customer feedback consistently reports the FS199 is comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in period required. The steel toe cap provides adequate room in the toe box for comfort during extended wear. If you wear thick work socks or prefer extra room for all-day comfort, you may consider ordering a half size up, though most workers find their regular size fits comfortably with standard work socks.
How does the FS199 compare to more expensive S3 safety boots?
The Amblers FS199 provides all the essential S3 SRC safety features required by the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard at a more economical price point compared to premium brands. The FS199 includes the same fundamental protections including steel toe cap (200 Joules), penetration resistant midsole, water resistant upper, antistatic properties, energy absorbing heel, and SRC slip resistance. More expensive boots may offer additional features such as advanced comfort technologies, lightweight composite toe caps, full waterproof membranes, heat resistance, or premium materials, but the FS199 delivers comprehensive S3 protection and dependable performance for workers who need certified safety features without premium pricing. For budget-conscious workers and employers, the FS199 represents excellent value without compromising essential safety standards.
What industries and work environments is the FS199 suitable for?
The Amblers FS199 is versatile safety footwear suitable for numerous industries including construction sites, warehousing and logistics operations, light industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, transport and delivery services, and general trade work. The combination of steel toe protection, penetration resistance, water resistance, and slip resistance makes it ideal for environments with moderate hazards where comprehensive S3 protection is required. However, for extremely wet outdoor conditions, consider fully waterproof boots with WR or WP ratings. For high-temperature environments like foundries or welding, consider boots with HRO heat resistance ratings. For electrical work requiring electrical hazard protection, consider boots with FO ratings. The FS199 excels in standard construction, warehousing, and light industrial environments where reliable S3 protection is the primary requirement.
