Chainsaw boot test

[Dean Lofthouse]

I accept fair play and I gave some credit for that but come on we are talking about the boots lining not its level of protection or anything to do with the upper

 

Not having a go at you Tokaloch, just trying to show how complex something like the humble boot is to make given all the factors they have to consider.

 

Simple things like how to make all those layers which are sandwiched together stay put and secure while at the same time making them breathable and.....waterproof.

 

Must be a nightmare.

 

So anyway, hows your slippers?

 

Do you know of anyone who manufactures slippers that don't whiff after a few month and that the dog cant chew, go to be waterproof on the sole. :wave:

Its OK please have your say, the whole point of a forum us for us to talk without slagging off. I have my opinion and i respect others too. Open debate in public can only work for the advantage of everyone.

BTW I just found the perfect answer to slippers, Dont wear them, anyway my lady hate sucking sweaty toes

Sorry I forgot to mention something, did anyone see the Haix leaflet which sgows exactly what is in their boots. It sure shows what you pay for

I've seen it, thats why I bought some. I've had mine two years and could probably get another year out of them but their looking a bit scraggy.

 

I put saddle or leather dressing on them once a month, keeps the leather supple.

 

i have the longer ones but have heard many people prefer the shorter leg ones.

Ever heard of "Neats foot oil" ?? I get it from a local saddler. Apparently its to feed horses hooves but I started using it years ago on anything leather as recommended by I forget who. I even use it on my old leather bike saddle. It seams to feed keep supple and waterprood any leather. Maybe I should try it on the wifes face

. Maybe I should try it on the wifes face

 

Wont help, the lines on my wifes face are from years of grimacing when she says, "It cost you how much, what do you need that for?"

 

My wifes lines run deeper than most, she never knows what I'm going to come home with next. Last time I went to the APF it was a MEWP.

 

That "How Much!" caused scarring across her face.

What alternatives are you looking at?

[bob]

nice lightweight boots that are nice and flexible have always loved the lavaro,s and am looking to return to them even though you can cut the toe cap the rest of the boot is similar in protection to all the others IMO and how many of you wear A,s when you know c,s are required or if not required they are safer.

though am open to suggestions

im tempted at trying out the steins.
