Are Lavoro Boots any good?

[robbutler]

Has anyone tried Lavoro boots?

 

Am looking at Lavoro Daintree and Sherwood (class 3) and they look good value (light, flexible, good protection, waterproof and cheaper than protector pro etc) but are they rubbish?

Is it worth getting a big german brand or do you pay for the label when lesser known ones are as good?

 

Elten's seem good value too..

 

Am new to this gear and appreciate any advice!

Yes very comfortable because of the cork foot bed vibram soles which are good but the cork is the thing that makes these boots like slipers and gets better the more you have them on good price to

Ps buy some leather food or normal polish and clean and polish as often as possible keeps them supple and makes them last longer I even spray with warterproofing:thumbup:

Lavoro's are comfy but has anyone found they make your feet stink?!

My mate wears the Sherwoods, sole broke up but Lavoro replaced them under their immediate replacement warranty. He says they are v comfy...

I have my second pair, very comfortable, but had to replace 1st pair under gaurantee as the eyelet fell off. They are not waterproof when worn in very boggy conditions, but have not found any chainsaw boots that are. I prefer to wear boots in bog conditions than wellies as boots dont get sucked off your legs if you fall in. I dubbin my'n a lot, and like them, would buy some more, probably because they are cheap and supposed to be class 3.

Just remembered my 1st pair had soles that wore really badly, (frayed all around the heels )hope the 2nd pair are better, may rethink buying another pair after seeing the feedback

I have a pair of Lavoro Sherwood's, they were fine until the outer sole of the heel in both boots got holes in them - the outer sole rubber is incredibly thin!

 

Brought them to Timpsons who said they're not possible to fix due to their construction - & recommended to buy boots with Vibram soles next time ...

 

Going to take them back to my dealer see what they will do for me - if nothing then Ill wear them til completely gone then make sure next pair I buy have got Vibram soles.

 

So not very happy as I've had them for only just over a year & not worn every day either!

as I put in another thread

lavoro Sherwoods worst boots I have ever had in my life!! they do seem to work for some people as seen here, BUT as a word of warning our local dealer has stopped stocking them due to the number of complaints about them!

Could some one help me?

When they say "Lavoro Sherwoods are approved to EN345 Class 3 standards for chainsaw boots", that means they are better than class1 and class2 Rigth?

It means 28m/s? (this means 28 meters of material gets stuck in the chainsaw in a second?)

 

This is why I don't understand one thing.

Why the orange boots of Husqvarna "functional 28 classe 3"... are much cheaper than their other boots? (Stihl has a similar boots and are cheaper too...but they are class1)

 

Because they have:

Protective steel toecap

Saw protection class 3

 

So, what's the reason? Are they heavy? uncomfortable? Too hot?
