No waterproof liner and thin leather only 2.1mm thick. but i suppose to be light and flexible thin is better, only i wander how durable they will be.

No waterproof lining at that price is bad, its been proven that gor-tex lined boots are no more sweaty than unlined boots.

 

What ever boot you buy there will always be a comprimise, there is no such thing as the perfect safety boot.

 

Meindl boots are still the ultimate boot for me, a proper boot made by a proper boot manafacturer with gor-tex and vibram sole, all others are pretenders.

Thats just my opinion!

Just found this thread so was wondering what people think that have had them a while.

Pretty sound boot. Mine lasted about nine months which is fairly good for me. The back stitching is what finally gave out. Also the low tops combined with lots of stretchy/lungy leg moves = trousers ride up over the top and boots full of sawdust.

 

I'd get another pair if I hadn't bought some airstreams

Is it to early to say what you like best.

my brother bought a pair for climbing and said that they were really light and comfy to wear. Only thing was, was that they fell apart quickly. Don't seem up to the quality of their other chain saw boots.

 

A problem that I have had with some haix boots is I get small holes from wear at the bottom of the tongue which small bits of saw dust get in and cramp up the end of your feet which is really uncomfortable. you then have to take out the laces and scrape it all out which is quite awkward and a right pain.

 

I know of several others who have had this problem also.

 

Apart from that I cannot fault haix boots.
