Boots for training

[Albion435]

Hi all, I was wondering about kit to do refresher training.

Obviously I will need chainsaw safety trousers, gloves and a helmet/ear/face protection. I also have eye protection..

My question is about boots. Are standard heavy duty steel toe cap boots accepted as opposed to dedicated chainsaw boots? 

Thanks Clive

You'll be expected to spend out on proper chainsaw boots. They protect more than just the toe cap area and are rated in different classes depending on chain speed, like trousers. Standard steel toe caps will have the same rating as a pair of flip flops.

Depending on the training centre and your foot size they might be able to lend you some, worth asking before spending out if you don't need to.
