Chainsaw boots

[SamanthaSunny]

Hey 👋🏼 

Finally found some good chainsaw boots which are well rated in a small size from Gustharts which start at size 5.5 which is exactly what I needed !!! So if anyone out there has wee feet hopefully this post will help 🙂

Just yesterday my new Meindls arrived, from Gustharts. They also do them in a 5.5 but are 75p more.

 

 

They have memory foam gubbins. Very comfy.

Only 75p more 😂 

They look pretty similar to the Andrews but I admit I was shocked at how stiff they feel a d have been wearing them to walk the coast so I can break them in 😬 how comfortable are your boots ? And do these solid heavy boots EVER soften over time ?

My Tree hogs were comfy from Day 1 Sam  🙁  might need some sweating in, in Summer  😐 K

Thanks to living on an island and Covid I have not had the opportunity to try any boots on but these Andrew boots make me walk like a robot 😂 have you ever had a pair of Andrews ?

The boots are meant to be a bit stiff.

 

Provides support when wearing spikes and adds to the longevity when you are kicking twigs around behind a chipper.

 

I am in my second pair of Andrew’s after 4 pairs of the air streams.  Both good boots but the last couple of pairs of Airstreams didn’t last any where near as long as the first two pairs.

 

They will be fine and comfy.

On correct fit there should be about 1.0 to 1.5 cm at the front of the toes, if you take the insoles out and place your feet on them it can be used as a guide however the thickness of socks to be worn will have to be taken into consideration. Haix boots have a guide mark on insoles but don’t know about those Andrew’s. Haix have also three options on insoles for narrow, medium and wide feet and provide a free stretching service if required but with safety boots if too tight in toe area then have to go up a size as that part of a boot cannot be stretched. There needs to be a bit of space in boots around feet otherwise in winter feet can be cold.
