New Climbing Boots

[5 shires]

Well in need of a new pair of climbing boots to start off the new year so treated myself to some,been using Arbpros and have had 3 pairs and even though they are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever had to work and or climb in I just fancied a change so had a look around and found a company called FITWELL based in Italy but no uk suppliers.

had a look at there range of boots and they have some great boot so decided to go for a pair of there Bigwall Climbing Boots and they arrived this morning..my Arbpros are looking a bit batterd so will see how these new ones stand up.

Are they cheaper? Must admit that I've not heard of them before

Hi Tom Well €170 which is slightly less expensive then the Arbpro but nothing in it really..I just liked the look of them and great feedback and I have just tryd them on and they sit lovely. But like I said no uk outlet so had to order from Italy but didn’t take long to arrive.

 

THIS IS WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THEM H20 PROOF

I've got a pair of Arbpro about 3 months in, a colleague has a pair that at two years old are still going strong. Mine cost 190 I think in a sale so even with the discount are still more than the Fitwells, looking at them i reckon the quality is going to be comparable

My Arbpros in the first picture are around 2 yrs old and still got life in them...Arbpros are still around £180/90 and yes the quality of the Fitwells are as good as the Arbpros but only wearing them and seeing how long they will last will be interesting,they also look very smart.

Anyone else had a go with a pair of fitwells? Tempted to try out the Fitwell Chop boots that they sell on tree kit
