Chainsaw boots advice for new groundie

[GLynch]

Hi all 

I'm new to the business and need to get a decent pair of boots for ground work I won't be climbing for a while yet.

I was looking at the treehog tr11 tr12 and lavaro est4 

Don't really want to be spending £200+ just yet but they need to be waterproof and comfy enough to wear all day 

Any recommendations or advice is much appreciated 

Thanks

Also just seen the haix protector pro 2.0 gore Tex 

Seems a good boot just a bit more expensive

Just remember you need 2 things in life:

1 comfortable boots

2 a comfortable bed 

If your not in one your in the other. 
spending good money on good boots is worth it.
 

Arbortec aquafell/hydro fell are some good ground boots but I don’t like there climbing offerings tho. It’s all down to personal preference, if you can get into a arb shop and try some on.

I'm on my second pair of stein kreigers. 

Comfortable. Very stable, wear well and breathable.

I'd spend the little extra on a better boot. Your body will thank you.

That's not to say they'll fit your feet. I've noticed that over time. A brand or model some people swear by could be seen as a torture device by another. You're gonna have to try a couple and see methinks.
