Laugh all you want.I still have a pair of 16"high Wesco boots.In the Uk the boots are designed for limb walking and spiking.They do both pretty well,but the boots like those mentioned in the previous posts are designed just for Spiking.

 

In the UK you never really get to take down anything over about 120 foot.When you are in your Boots,standing on your spikes all day.Like a huge Fir or Spruce,these boots are just the mutts nuts.

 

Companies like Wesco,Viberg,White,etc actually make the boots to suit your feet.You can draw an outline of your feet wearing socks,then measure the diameter of your calf in inch intervals up to the hight you want the boots.

 

I bought a pair of Vibergs in Canada in 1999,worked there and two seasons in Germany before I biffed them.Could have sent them back to Canada for a refit.

The second pair pictured look good.

 

Martyn is right though, most of the european boots are overpriced crap. The Haix used to be great, but i've seen a lot of the later pairs fall apart in 1 season.

 

The Pfanner boot is about teh most hardwearing / comfortable boot I've had, but its a bit clumpy.

sorry but they look a bit girly! a few inches taller in black with a thinner heal of the same height they would be good for S&M :scared1:

Do they come with a red gimp suit?

 

Imagine turning up on a building site wearing those.
