new boots

[plank_pusher]

i'm looking for a new pair of boots, nothing fancy or expensive but they need to be the obvious e.g. comfortable, reasonably good in water, strong, chainsaw protective, etc

i've looked at the new stein explorers and the haix airpower gold, both for about £150 and quite happy with both of them

are there any others i should consider?

Hiya im getting all my ppe together for my CS30/31 and got a pair of Treemme Orange off ebay-seem very comfy-been stomping round the house to wear them in!:biggrin:Got mine for £70 but think their usually £130.

Invest in boots. Can't stress that any more! It's what you use the most, plus think about how much sore cold feet will drag your morale down. Warm comfy feet only cost a bit more!

 

I have the meindl airstreams, went from haix blue ridge to these. And I'll be buying another pair when they wear out. Really comfy, good gripping sole cant beat them!

Meindl Airstreams for me too:)

Lavoro Sherwoods ae the way to go (for me anyway) most comfy boots ive ever owned, very light, class 3, and lovely and flexible for 'delicate' climbing, but rigid enough take spikes well. i'd reccomend them over every other pair of boots ive owned!

and i think fairly reasonably priced at just over the 100 mark depending where you shop of course...

i wear meindl waldlaufer boots,and too date they are the best boots ive owned:thumbup:

as for positive and negative feedback i can say there is no neg,they offer everything you need:thumbup:

 

quality made to last boot

value for money

can be used for ground work or climbing

warm,comfy and water proof

 

some chainsaw boots can be clumbersome,these boots are not,its just like wearing a walking boot and you could wear these to walk the dog,they are that comfy [meindl also make good walking boots]

 

when i need new boots,would i buy these again....most defo

ive got elten aquafell`s, they`re comfortable and quite good in the wet £70 on ebay, i dont climb so cant comment on them for that.

[yhglandscapes]

Lavoro Sherwoods for me, instantly comfy, advertised as waterproof i think, and have been. Plus class 3

£112 delivered so no complaints and seem really good to climb in

Boots are a very personal choice.

Depends on the shape of your feet (obv).

 

Get yourself into a dealer and try some on!

 

I did it a couple of weeks ago and found Haix Blue Ridge really comfy.

Loving them so far.
