What Boots do you Recommend for around £100

[Taiga261]

Thinking of buying some chainsaw boots as my current work ones have an extremely dipped steel toe cap on right boot which has basically numbed my right big toe out of any feeling lol! It can't be good considering my right foot is consequently also showing signs of tearing skin on the sole....

 

So anyone got any recommendations for waterproof, comfortable and well built chainsaw boots for not too much more than £100 or so?

 

Cheers

I wouldn't spend that amount unless the maximum number of steps made in one day whilst wearing them does not exceed 6.

I think you can get some budget boots but most are twice that amount .

Ha! Point taken. So, I'm going to have to fork out a bit more, fair enough.

 

I am not a climber, just so people are aware. I just have a chainsaw licence and am looking to work in forestry/woodland management, not tree surgery.

 

What about these for £140?

Hiax blue ridge are a decent boot. I'm on my third or fourth pair.

Hiax make good boots at reasonable prices.

Looking at these online, funny you mention them, because I believe my current work chainsaw boots are this model! They're not new boots but they have the blue lining at the top and blue and black laces and they look similar so I believe they are second hand Haix blue ridges.

 

They seem reasonably good no doubt, but I think I'll go for something different, hence the Arbortec's I posted above which I'm currently leaning towards, unless someone can find anything else around £150 and lower.

These are the same as Haix Blue Ridge but better as they are Gortex and 100% waterproof - Haix Blue Mountain.

Are the boots with the dipped toecap haix by any chance? Seen that problem quite a lot. My advice would be to spend a bit more and get somethong decent. Meindl woodwalkers are about 150 on fr jones. Mine have lasted me 2 year and only just started to leak a bit. Real comfy too
