Hello need help buying chainsaw boots ordered 3 different pairs and they were just so uncomfortable and tight around my feet like they wasn’t wide enough always found the Oregon’s boots so comfortable but last me a max of 6 months before they fall apart! Need a good quality hard wearing comfortable boot. I’ve tried stihl, arbortec lite, pfanner. Any recommendations

I'm on my third pair of stein kreigers. Can't fault them. Very breathable in warm weather and good grip, if a little on the heavy side.(they all are really) They last well too. 

 

 

Do you have the same size as normal footwear as I find they are always either too small or to big depending on the brand

Size 11 in pretty much everything, think I've a pair of runners in a 10.5

I wouldn't consider the steins to be sized large but I can only speak for the few pairs I've bought. I do have a bit of space in them but they're not sliding off me.

The Oregons Yukons fit me well and are cheap. I just accept that they will need replacing more often and try and remember to re-proof them regularly!

That’s probably what I do wrong I don’t reproof them I get about 6 months before they start falling to pieces. I find the cheaper pair than the Yukon’s seem to last longer and are of better material. What do you you use to reproof them?

I think any kind of Dubbin type greasy stuff, leather treatment/conditioner/waterproofer does the trick. I'm currently using something called Mink Oil, it's just a fancy marketed Dubbin I think, doesn't seem any better than cheaper alternatives I've used in the past.
They key is to put something on quite frequently. He says remembering that he's not done his boots for ages .......
