Frequently Asked Questions
What does the S3 safety rating mean?
The S3 safety rating indicates this shoe provides comprehensive protection including a steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact and 15,000 Newtons compression resistance, a water-resistant upper, energy-absorbing heel, antistatic properties, and a steel midsole offering penetration resistance up to 1100 Newtons. This rating makes the Gibson suitable for demanding industrial and construction environments where multiple hazards are present.
Are the Amblers FS62 Gibson shoes suitable for formal work environments?
Yes, the Amblers FS62 Gibson features classic brogue styling specifically designed for workers requiring certified safety footwear in professional or semi-formal settings. The smart leather appearance makes these shoes ideal for showroom staff, facilities managers, supervisors, and office-based roles where safety certification is mandatory but professional appearance must be maintained.
What does the FO rating mean on these safety shoes?
The FO rating indicates the outsole is resistant to fuel oil, meaning the rubber compound will not degrade when exposed to petroleum-based fuels and oils. This certification is essential for workers in automotive environments, mechanics, petrol stations, and any workplace where fuel or oil contact with footwear is likely.
Does the Amblers FS62 Gibson run true to size?
Yes, customer feedback and professional testing confirm the Amblers FS62 Gibson runs true to size with a standard fitting. Workers should order their regular UK shoe size for optimal fit. The leather upper will conform slightly to foot shape during the initial wearing period whilst maintaining structural integrity and safety protection.
Are these shoes waterproof or water resistant?
The Amblers FS62 Gibson features a water-resistant (WR) leather upper rather than being fully waterproof. This means the shoes will repel light rain and damp conditions effectively, keeping feet dry during typical workplace exposure. However, they are not designed for prolonged immersion or extremely wet conditions where fully waterproof wellington boots would be more appropriate.
