Haix Protector Extreme for me.

Haix Trekker Mountains for me. Just had a new sole put on (£15 - nothing compared to the cost of a whole new pair of boots!!) as after over a years continuous use the sole was nearly bald and about ready to peal off but the uppers are still almost like new apart from surface.

 

I realise this is old but where did you get your boots resoled.?

I have Stihl Pro boots but they are deteriorating fast after 2 years, the reinforcement inside is broken and it is most difficult to get my heel past a mass of crumpled plastic which resides under the fabric lining! I'll have to buy new ones, so I'm reading these posts with great interest.

 

Was just watching the Petzl video of the new zigzag mechanical prussik and the arborist in the footage was zipping around the canopy with the greatest of ease. Obviously he was wearing appropriate footwear, if I could only see the labels on his boots!

 

What do folks like to use for limbwalking, as was demonstrated in the above video? Chainsaw boots don't seem to have much traction on narrow limbs. I've tried hiking boots but the Petzl Pantene strapped to my ankle digs in and is most uncomfortable. Is there a boot on the market that has a soft, gum rubber sort of sole that would be a good choice for limbwalking, but with sufficient anle protection to keep the pantene straps from digging in?

On my second pair of Husqvarna Technical 24 boots which I quite like! Had a pair of Aquafell Xperts before but they didn't seem to be as hardwearing IMO
