Boots

[atree]

Im after some new sturdy boots (ankle support) but due to the lack of arborist footwear in nz these are the only ones avaible as far as im aware,

 

Arborist Footwear

 

which would you guys recomend from wearing them and how long did they last?

 

btw most people in nz just wear steel toe caps

 

cheers

i have had the fellsmen's and whilst they are really comfortable, they don't have great ankle support as they are quite short. the aquafell's are taller so should imagine they would be better. a couple of friends have the aqua's and like them alot.

Best boots I ever had were Klima Air. They lasted 3 years

Hey bro- the hAix range is available as well in NZ. Boots get super expensive if sent from UK and if you get the wrong size its a major pain. If you can wait til the ch church comp i can bring some of the aqua fells, Meindl Air Streams and an old pair of Klima air (to try the size) for you to try.

Do treetools order anything (from overseas) in if they dont sell it?
