You need chainsaw protective boots. £150 would get you a pretty decent pair of boots.

 

Don`t take this the wrong way but if you`re coming into contact with a moving chain you need to take a serious look at where you position yourself in relation to the saw. No chainsaw protection can stop a saw totally nor can it be relied on. Be careful.

Avoid Haix at all costs. I had a pair, they split after 3 months, cost me £200 and Workware whom I believe are the suppliers of Haix refused to honour the warantry.

 

I have had cheaper boots last years. No risk seem to be a good choice at the right money

try as many different types and makes as you can. See which are the best fit because wearing slightly ill-fitting boots for a long time even if it is only one or two days a week can lead to problems with feet ie ingrowing toenails etc. I speak from experience after buying a cheap pair of steelies which didn't fit properly enough and i suffered for it:sneaky2:

Hi mate, sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Haix, which model were they? Do any search on this site, and you will find an overwhelming majority in favour of Haix. The Protector Pro and the Extreme are both excellent Haix favourites, though probably more of a climbers boot than a groundies. But the "Blue Ridge", now these were a bit raggedy, prone to fall apart within about 6 mths and probably did'nt do the marque any favours at all.

I've got a pair of mendal boots. Paid about £130 for them, find them really comfy to wear which was the most important thing for me. Only thing I've found is working in brambles and gorse has Cut the leather alot. But the gortex still keeps my feet dry.

whatever boots you get make sure they are goretex lined, makes for much happier days - my biggest pet hate in life is cold wet feet
