Non protective climbing Boots

[Ewan Murray]

Im after some climbing boots that arent chainsaw protective would ideally like them to have a steel toe and be waterproof but you cant ask for everything just wondering what people use or like so i can get an idea before i spend some cash

Cheers

dickies medway are good safety boots, comfy, hardwearing, waterproof and breathable for not alot of money. pretty comfy when wearing spikes as well...

you can get good walking boots with steel toes in them, there there best for comfort and climbing grip etc.

If you want them to be good for climbing then I would forget about the steel toe caps, that way you are spoiled for choice in the fabric walking boot market and they will nearly all be better for climbing than a boot designed for safety.

 

Of course if you are using them for work you might want something else to put on for ground work.

Im in Oz and thats the only thing they say when it comes to footwear that it has a steel toe, might get away with having two sets one for the ground and one for the tree, do you yourself Rupe have a pair you favour?
