Haix tibet forrester or protector ??

[combined tree services]

hiya guys , i have recently posted regarding faulty haix boots , little is being done by haix and i have not heard back so im now looking to get a new pair of boots as the Eltens that i have had in the work shop for years are not watter proof , comfortable and whan climbing you can feel every last peg right through the sole if your standing on them . So i have looked at bots and cnt work out which boots to get - They need to be watter proof, good for climbing/ spiking and as we do both utility work which is rough on boots, and domestic/commercial arboriculture im looking for a boot that does pretty much all of the above , i have so far come up with Haix Tabet forresters or protectors. I would appreciate any advice or other options you have guys . oh and please bare in mind i will be buying from FR Jones so something that they sell would be great

been a hiax fan for years and 3 months ago tried a pair of meindl and there one awsome boot ! super comfy ,by far the best climbing boot to date ,they looked dirty after 2 days in work but thats due to the red colour ,imo if you climb every day i would give them a wherle ,i love them

NONE OF THE ABOVE.

 

I had a boot dilema recently too and in the end and after months of being a PITA and asking, feeling, trying, wetting, and yes cross-examing every Haix option blah blah blah... I still didn't have a final answer. But I found it eventually and this is what I reckon altho they are specifically for ground and in the brash altho they do make a "climby" version.

 

KLIMA AIR - TIROL FIGHTER. Bonkers Boots!

The protectior pros arent the spiked ones Dave, the spiked ones are called protector extreme.

well there crap any way:blushing: , but cheers for pointing that out bud:thumbup:

Yeah i looked at those extremes before i bought this pair of pros, and i stuck to the pros. Although the sole is delaminating a little bit along the side of one boot this time. Never had the prob before. It hasnt affected waterproofness at all though, so i am not worried TBH.
