Chainsaw boot test

[scotspine1]

If they are the original version with split flux zones (orange) then we'll replace (FOC) - providing of course that they haven't been abused or cut into.

 

Please send them back to us and we'll send you a new pair.

 

With regards to the stretching - what do you want? Something comfortable that fits round your foot or something stiff that your foot has to fit round?!! We only use high quality cow leather to give flexibility, breathability and water resistance.

Was it a working tree surgeon/arborist that designed Aquafell Experts?

[Arborlord]

I have the aquafell spurts.

 

Both boots have holes where the orange bit is on the heels i have worn right through big holes after 6 months for the cost i feel pissed off.

 

And the soles wear out super quick.

 

This is my second pair as i returned the first they fell apart. So fortec am i eligilble for new boots or did i miss the boat on this.

Yes, it was a team of working tree surgeons and they asked us for comfort and flexibility as priority - not stiff heavy boots that take two weeks to break in.

I find it really hard to believe that a "team of working tree surgeons" designed these boots. IMO they are simply steel toe cap work boots with added chainsaw protection. I am 100% certain that if they were designed from scratch by working climbers they would be very different

Please see below the test that we have carried on the Aquafell Xpert.

I cut my aqua fells with a 017 stihl the other day. baby chainsaw! cut right through and sliced my big toe!..just nipping the skin.

 

works under controled enviroment in a test..but different in real life mate!

[Czlowiek Drzewo]

and yes i would rather have something stiff and rigid..that i can kick tree stumps with. steel toe is the way to go..it has been proven.

this is a pic boot afterwards.

 

I had slightly hit my boot while cutting firewood.

( completely my own stupidity )..but the aqua fells did not protect my foot. i just nicked my big toe..and just lucky

All of our chainsaw boots (including Aquafell Xpert) have STEEL toecaps.

Please note that chainsaw boots are "Designed to prevent the wearer from serious injury whilst using a chainsaw". This does not mean chainsaw proof!

 

We're glad to hear your foot's OK. The boot's did their job and if you have any doubts try it with trainers on ......!
