Chainsaw boots for groundwork

[joshwilli]

Hi

 

 

In my 2nd year of level 3 forestry and arb and looking to move up from my chainsaw wellies to some proper boots!

 

Been looking at a lots of posts and things online, but wondered what the best boots are for groundwork as I'm not going down the arb route so won't be climbing, and most of the reviews/recomendations online seem to be geared towards the climbers!

 

Not really got a max budget, would rather spend more and get a decent pair than skimp!

 

Any help would be massively appreciated, and if anyone knows of any good deals that would be even better

 

Cheers

Cheapest ones I found were cofra woodsmans at about £70. They seem to be holding up well and do the job just fine, although the leather wears pretty quickly on them and are a bit 'clunky'.

Cheers, whats the comfort/waterproofing like on them? seem like a bargain!

I use Lavoro Sherwood. Good breathable membrane. Might try Meindl Woodwalker next as they have a good reputation.

I have Meindl Woodwalkers for groundwork/firewood and find them very comfy for wearing all day

[joshwilli]

Cheers for the recommendations guys, will check them out

 

Jon are the airs your talking about the meindl Airstreams?

 

Seen a lot of positive stuff about woodwalks/Airstreams but thought they were more geared towards climbing?

Woodwalkers are fantastic for ground work. Tough and comfy. Well worth the money. The Airstreams are great too.
