Non protective climbing Boots

[Ewan Murray]

The guys said they dont pay tax unless the order is over Aus$1000, the price is almost tripled in some products so the delivery doesnt add to much on and still works out cheaper for them, I wish i just paid for excess bagage now haha

My choice would be Two different brands, HI-TEC ankle high boots/steel toed,water proof. Relatively comfortable. Available at Bass Pro shops, cost $60.00 Second choice Merrell, MESA Ventilator II. Very comfortable, I believe better for climbing or longer periods on you feet. Available at DSW.com cost $86.00. I use both for demo work and video shoots as well as trade shows for many hours while standing on that really nice hard Concrete floor!

Works well for me! Good Boot Hunting!

Mate of mine has the trango's and rates them over the scarpa's but its a price things aswell.

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?

 

I have scarpa pro ascents, from honey brothers. But they dont have steel toe and look so unlike chainsaw boots that I only get to wear them occasionally, unless its definatly going to handsawing only.

 

In the past I have had solamon hiking boots and they have been very good.

Can you get any good climbing boot with steel toe caps?

[Rupe]

I dont know of any good ones? My idea of good though is scarpa pro ascents, or similar, so I doubt any steelt toe boot is ever going to be in that league.

Yeah i like the pro ascents too,Just would like a pair like that with steel toes for working here.

Part of what makes them so good is the narrow pointy toe which sticks to the smallest nobble of tree bark for instant grip. I think adding a steely would ruin them. Thats why I dont think you'll find anythign as good with a steel toe.

 

Should be able to find something good enough though. I mostly climb in Meindle chainsaw boots and they are very good for climbing, possibly the best chainsaw boot I have used, but still they are no comparison to pro ascents.

why not just get a pair of protective climbing boots. :confused1:
