Boots

[Ben Jensen]

Hello There.

I've been lurchin' here for a while, and am now hoping for your asistance in an equipmen problem.

 

I'm a teacher at the Danish Forestry college, app. 10% of our students are female. New rules from our equivalent to HSE have now stated, that class 2 boots are mandatory when using a chainsaw, no matter the speed of the chain.

 

We have rather great trouble in getting laced class 2 boots small enough (Size 36/37 or 7/7½)

 

Any suggestions, where to buy boots of a decent quality?

 

Regards

Ben

I think Meindl Airstreams start at size 37.

Hi Darrin.

Thanks for the quick answer.

We have used Meindl for several years, but unfortunately, they're only class 1 boots

Class 2 and sizes start from EU:36.

But you got me on the right track!

 

Same company sells a Haix boot, class 2, from size 6. We will try that

 

Thanks a lot!
