ahh. Showing my ignorance. No fixed length. The top of the irons are at the mid point of my calf muscle

 

they are too short dude, ive got some carbon gekos, the wide face in which you leg sits spreads the weight alot, plus they dont have to be done up stupidly tight to stop them moving around, light too

but try befor you buy if its possible..

I did swear to start the geckos solved my feet pains but after a good old test i find they still ache on verticle poles for pro longed periods of use not half as bad but a lot easyer on the feet and i dont mind wearing them all day as they are so light....if you can as said try before you buy!

I have a pair of Buckinghams too....i see that my forestry supplier sells a "bottom" for them so that the whole foot is taking the weight rather than just the instep....has anyone tried these...i'm thinking of getting some myself

They make walking out on a limb cumbersome. I don't like em.

Trying out these at the moment on my Kliens, so far so good, take a little getting used to but are super comfy.

As the others have said conkers as long as possible. In fact get them as long as you can without being uncomfy when you bend your leg!

 

I have kleins but got extra long special from america. I could have managed with standard but they would have cut off circulation as they would have been strapped round the calf- not good!
