what boots?

[josh]

yeah, basically dont know what boots to get i want some for ground work and climbing that aren't too expensive as its my first pair and i'm spending alot of money on everything else! cheers:001_smile:

If you have access to a shop to try boots then do that, going for cheapest option isn't always the best. Aquafell Xperts are meant to be the mutts nuts but after 2 pairs ive given up on them, split in a few places, got some Tremme Aqua Stops given to me, not really worn them, more of a back up boot, current pair is Haix Mountain Ridge, didn't hold my breath over these but if im honest they've been excellent, lasting alot longer than the Aquafell Xperts. Im sure alot of people will give there opinions on here.

I'm now on my second pair of haix blue mountain. I found they last well, mainly ground work for the first pair. Also pretty comfortable from day one, both pairs, no painful breaking-in.

depends what saws you like mate, i see a link between husky users liking mendls and stihl guys liking the new stretch air ones. so which saw do you prefer? that might be the easiest way to find out what suits your style:biggrin:

I really rate Haix boots, and although i spend about £180 on protector pros, like a lot of guys on here, they also do cheaper boots which arent gore-tex lined, but are still very good boots build-wise.

 

You would do a lot worse than to type 'Boots' into the search engine at the top of the page Josh, as this topic has been covered extensively on Arbtalk.
