The new Stein Quest GTX Boots (un)Official Review.

[Mesterh]

Forgive my ignorance but how does a chainsaw boot differ from any other safety boot?

Is there a layer of kevlar or something to prevent you cutting through your foot?

 

Theres a massive difference, usually around £100.

 

They do have Kevlar and/blocking material but it won't stop you cutting yourself. It's not that good.

 

I'm thinking about just buying some steel toe cap comfy boots next time I need some tbh.

 

It's not that often I have the saw anywhere near my feet.

got some of these boots yesterday i wore them for a few hours today my god they are hard when new! Glad iw as only doing landscaping switched back to my normal boots/trainers after about 2 hours it was awful! I'm sure they'll be fine once they're broken in though...right?

3 days onthe ground building a retaining wall from sleepers and I beams and they're a little better than when new but still no where near as comfy as my old hydrofells, stil have a very stiff cloggy feel when walking on paved surfaces and i get a bit of discomfort at the back of the heel in certian positions. But i went and did a little job yesterday which consisted of 4 vbery brief climbs and in the tree they felt great, like a differet pair of boots...I just hate walking in them!
