AI-generated illustration made for this guide, not a product from any shop listed.

Quick answer: for men’s UK size 13 safety boots, Amblers Safety’s own shop lists most of its lace-up, dealer, rigger and hiker safety styles in 13, and Toolstation’s size 13 page showed boots from DeWalt, CAT, Timberland Pro, Apache, Amblers and others. Walktall lists V12 and Grafters safety boots and shoes in 13, and Screwfix has a size 13 safety boot filter (as shown in search results).

When we checked, 13 was the size with the most safety boots. Amblers Safety and Toolstation both listed far more styles in 13 than in 14, so if you take a 13 you can still choose by brand, toe cap and boot type. Some work brands go no further: Dr. Martens’ UK work range stops at 13 and has no safety-toe styles, Buckler’s own shop stops at 13, and CAT’s own UK shop lists no safety boots at all.

We checked each shop’s own website on 30 October 2026. Walktall’s listings and store data were read directly; its returns terms come from its own pages as shown in search results. A size filter link on Amblers Safety’s site did not work for us, so its sizes come from the shop’s own product data. Screwfix’s pages would not open, so its details come from its own pages as shown in search results. We did not check prices, and stock changes daily. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.

The shops in more detail

Amblers Safety

Amblers Safety is the brand's own shop. Most of its safety styles go up to 12 or 13, and at 13 it lists most of its lace-up, dealer, rigger, hiker and metal-free safety styles. A size filter link we tried on its site did not work, so check the size list on each product. None of its safety styles has a 13.5 or larger half size. Almost every style is standard fit; the AS803 Broad is its wide-fit safety boot. Delivery is £3.99 below £75. Returns are accepted within 30 days if unworn, with tags and the original box, but you pay the postage unless an item is faulty or sent in error, and there are no exchanges, so you return and reorder.

Toolstation

Toolstation's size 13 safety boots page showed lace-up safety boots and hikers from Maverick, Amblers, DeWalt, CAT (the Powerplant), Apache, Timberland Pro and Cofra when we checked. Its safety boot filter goes up to 15. Next-day delivery is £5, free over £40, though items shipped by suppliers can differ. Returns are accepted within 30 days if unused, unmarked and in the original packaging; Toolstation charges £9 if it collects an unwanted item, and its returns page lists no fee for taking it back to a store.

Walktall

Walktall's workwear listing has safety footwear from UK 12 to 16 in whole sizes, all in its standard (F) fit. At 13 it showed V12 safety boots (Bison IGS, Avenger IGS, Octane IGS and Boulder), the V12 Boost IGS safety shoe, the Grafters Contractor safety shoe and Grafters Grinder dealer-style safety boots in two colours; the same listing also shows wellingtons. Walktall's V12 pages say it orders V12 boots in for each order and ask you to call ahead to check stock. As shown in search results, returns are accepted within 14 days if unworn and boxed; you pay the return postage, and Walktall pays to send a replacement size to mainland UK.

Screwfix

Screwfix's pages would not open for us, so these details come from its own pages as shown in search results. Its safety boot size filter goes up to 16, and its size 13 page lists many styles, including DeWalt, Amblers, CAT and Hard Yakka. As shown in search results, next-day delivery is £5 below £50, and returns are free within 30 days under its money-back guarantee, with some items excluded. Its delivery help page in search results may be out of date, so check the terms at checkout.

Amazon UK

We did not check Amazon UK's listings at size 13. It is a marketplace, so the sizes and safety details depend on the seller of each pair; check the product page for both before you buy. Most items can be returned within 30 days, but only items marked Free Returns are free to send back; otherwise the cost may be deducted.

Brands that stop at 13

Three names you might look for first are not much help in 13 or above. Dr. Martens’ UK work category has slip-resistant and Wintergrip styles in sizes 3 to 13, but none with a safety toe. Buckler, which now trades as Buckbootz, lists its boots up to 13 (EU 47) and no higher. CAT’s own UK shop lists no safety-toe footwear, although CAT’s Powerplant safety boot was in Toolstation’s size 13 filter. If you also need a bigger size, our size 14 safety boots guide covers the shops that go further.

How to measure your feet for size 13 safety boots

We could not get a foot length from the two safety boot size guides we tried: Rock Fall’s chart is an image we could not read, and Amblers Safety’s size guide link returned an error. Our size 13 shoes guide lists the foot lengths and EU sizes that shoe shops give for a UK 13. Safety boot shops list UK sizes; Buckler’s shop labels its 13 as EU 47.

How to measure your foot length A foot on a sheet of paper with the heel against a wall. A line marks the tip of the longest toe, and the distance from the wall to that line is the foot length in millimetres. Wall Foot length, mm 1 Heel against the wall 2 Mark your longest toe 3 Measure wall to mark, both feet
Measure both feet in the evening, when they are at their largest, and use the longer one.
  1. Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you wear for work.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe with the pen held upright.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark in millimetres, for both feet, and use the longer one.
  4. Check the size list on each product page, because a shop’s size filter covers its whole range and not every style comes in 13.

Widths at size 13

Most size 13 safety boots we found are standard fit. Every safety style at Walktall is its standard (F) fit, and almost every Amblers Safety style is standard too; its one wide-fit safety boot, the AS803 Broad, goes up to 14. We did not check widths at 13 at Toolstation or Screwfix.

Our picks for size 13

We pick from the facts in the table, not from prices or reviews, which we have not checked.

  • Most styles from one brand: Amblers Safety, which lists most of its safety range in 13, from lace-up boots to dealer and rigger boots.
  • A mix of big brands: Toolstation, whose size 13 page showed DeWalt, CAT, Timberland Pro, Apache, Cofra, Maverick and Amblers.
  • Wide feet: Amblers’ AS803 Broad, its wide-fit safety boot.
  • V12 composite and steel toe boots: Walktall, which orders them in, so call ahead first.
  • Free delivery on a small order: Toolstation, free over £40.
