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 AS263 Grit is ideal for workers who need to remove their footwear frequently throughout the day, such as mechanics working on vehicles, construction workers moving between sites, delivery drivers, 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 AS263 Grit perfect for workers who prioritize quick access while maintaining comprehensive S3 protection including heat resistance and penetration resistance.
What does S3 HRO SRC rating mean under EN ISO 20345:2022?
The S3 HRO SRC rating under the updated EN ISO 20345:2022 standard provides comprehensive workplace protection for demanding environments. S3 includes steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact resistance, steel penetration resistant midsole tested to 1100 Newtons, water resistant upper, antistatic properties, and energy absorbing heel. HRO adds heat resistance up to 300°C for contact with hot surfaces, essential for welding operations, industrial facilities with heated floors, and high-temperature environments. 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 AS263 Grit suitable for construction sites, light industrial facilities, warehousing, automotive workshops, and environments where comprehensive protection including heat resistance is required.
Does the elastic side panel compromise safety or security?
No, the elastic side panels on the Amblers AS263 Grit 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 S3 safety certification under EN ISO 20345:2022 with steel toe cap, penetration resistant midsole, water resistant upper, heat resistance, and slip resistance, meeting rigorous safety standards equivalent to 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 industrial environments where both convenience and comprehensive protection are essential.
Does the Amblers AS263 Grit run true to size?
Yes, the Amblers AS263 Grit 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 AS263 Grit 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.
What does HRO heat resistance mean and when is it needed?
HRO (Heat Resistant Outsole) certification means the outsole maintains its properties and provides protection with contact heat up to 300°C. This is essential for workers in environments with hot surfaces, such as light welding operations, industrial facilities with heated floors, metalworking environments, or any situation where feet may contact hot materials or surfaces. The Amblers AS263 Grit with HRO protection ensures the sole will not melt, deform, or lose its protective properties when exposed to high temperatures. Combined with the comprehensive S3 protection including penetration resistance and water resistance, plus the convenience of dealer boot design, the AS263 Grit is ideal for workers in demanding industrial environments who need both heat protection and quick on-and-off functionality throughout their workday.
