Frequently Asked Questions
What does the S7S safety rating mean?
The S7S safety rating is one of the highest classifications under EN ISO 20345:2022, indicating comprehensive protection features. This includes a 200 Joule composite toe cap, penetration-resistant midsole, antistatic properties, energy-absorbing heel, water-resistant upper, plus additional protections: CI (cold insulation) for temperatures down to -17°C, SC (scuff cap) for enhanced toe durability, LG (ladder grip) for safe climbing, FO (fuel oil resistance), and HRO (heat resistance) to 300°C. This makes the S7S rating ideal for workers facing multiple hazards in demanding environments across construction, utilities, and heavy industry.
How does the side zip feature work?
The AS964C features a YKK side zipper that runs along the inner side of the boot, allowing you to quickly slip the boot on and off without fully unlacing. The lace system remains functional for achieving a secure, customised fit around your foot and ankle. This dual system provides the convenience of rapid boot changes at the start and end of shifts, whilst maintaining the adjustability and support needed during work. The side zip is particularly valued by workers who change footwear multiple times daily or need to remove boots quickly in emergency situations.
Is the Amblers AS964C Detonate suitable for outdoor winter work?
Yes, the AS964C is specifically engineered for cold weather conditions with CI (cold insulation) certification, protecting feet in temperatures as low as -17°C. Combined with its water-resistant leather upper and slip-resistant outsole, this boot is ideal for outdoor construction, utilities work, groundwork, and other winter operations across the United Kingdom. The insulation keeps feet warm without adding excessive bulk, whilst maintaining the flexibility and comfort needed for all-day wear in harsh conditions.
Can this boot be worn in high-temperature environments?
Absolutely. The AS964C features HRO (heat resistant outsole) certification, meaning the sole can withstand contact with surfaces up to 300°C without degrading or melting. This makes it suitable for foundry work, welding environments, asphalt laying, steelworks, and other high-temperature industrial settings. The heat resistance protects against sole degradation and provides crucial safety when working near molten materials, hot surfaces, or in environments with extreme heat exposure.
What is the scuff cap feature and why is it important?
The scuff cap (SC) is a reinforced protective layer over the toe area that significantly extends the boot's lifespan. Workers who frequently kneel, drag their toes, or work in abrasive environments benefit from this feature as it prevents premature wear and maintains the integrity of the composite safety toe cap beneath. The scuff cap is particularly valuable in construction, groundwork, tiling, flooring installation, and trades where toe abrasion is common. This protection makes the AS964C a cost-effective investment for demanding work environments where standard boots would wear out quickly.
