I’ve had them for 12 months, still keeping the water out (mostly) and the sole hasn’t started to peal yet.

 

They’re as light as you’ll get for a climbing boot with chainsaw protection, and I’ve been really impressed with how well they’ve lasted-confident I’ll get another winter out of them at least. 

Scarfel lite’s last well (imo) but aren’t the most comfortable, plus they’re not light. I had the Andrews Cervino XP before these, nice and light but knackered within 6 months, never again!

I think there are still a few that don't have the PU midsole, Pfanner Tirol being one. Some of the more expensive Haix say they have vibram soles too, different to the £250 ones.

A friend had these thought for him.  He should have had ground boots as he isn’t a climber.

 

they do look pretty good though.  Fairly light and holding up well to ground work.

Just to add to the Crocs discussion of earlier in the thread, I've asked my wife for some clip-on toes for Christmas. 

She has refused.

You want cut and crush protection.

This is my foot after a  blow from a branch with new chunky proper chainsaw boots.

Hurt for a bit, but finished the tree and didn’t lose a days work.

I think it might have been different with ordinary dealer boots or whatever.

any dropped log will always hit your foot just behind where the toecap stops. known fact.

i wear othopedic insoles mostly, i didnt think they would help my posture, but i stand corrected.
