Chainsaw Wellies This Time??

[Logged On]

Looking to get some new saw boots for the new year, but this time I want the wellington boots this time.

 

Which to got for / what do you recommend??

 

The Husky, Stihl or another make you've discovered that are as good as...???

 

Would like them to have a warm lining in them too though.

Especially on spikes

Think they're all equally uncomfortable, but save your good boots if it's really wet or mucky. On the basis that each is as good/bad as the other I'd buy the cheapest pair you can. If you're looking for a liner I'd think you could buy one separately somewhere.

Funny I was considering chainsaw wellies, apart from the ones you mention there's Oregon, Hunter Forester and Arbortec.

 

If you want a warm liner wear wool socks.

 

Anyone tried Yeti Gaiters over their regular chainsaw boots?

You'll regret buying wellies, they are the worst things ever to wear . They will kill your feet and calves . Good luck

I hate wearing my chainsaw wellies and never do, just use the leather boots.

 

For normal wellies i find boot sox things ideal as absorb a lot of the sweat and ur feet are bone dry at end of day.

Really like them nice and cheap too.

 

I used to wear yeti gaites a lot over some of my leaking walking boots, work great if ur boot leeak a wee bit. Usually have to cut the grips on sole to take the yeti's, also usually end up siliconing/aquasureing them to ur boot as designed for quite stiff hill boots, with softer more flexible boots toe usually slips off. Might not be so bad with chainsaw boots steel toes and metal sole plate

Great things if u have an expensive pair of boots that leak, i've had years of use out of leaky boots and feet have been dry. Done a lot on the grouse with them and are pretty hardy for going throu heather as that is hard on things

 

Duno how they'd stand up to chainsaw work thou?? Doubt they'd last long if in softwoods commercially, might be ok in more ground work/arb environments

Sometimes you have no choice but to wear chainsaw wellies as its that wet. Oregon and Husqvarna boots are the more comfortable ones. Avoid Stihl find the width a bit too tight.

Id rather wear sandals than chainsaw wellies

Just went out to see if my Yeti Extreme would fit my chainsaw boots, no go for me, my Stihl Advance are just too bulky at the toe.

 

I'd expect wellies to be less comfortable but they might be useful to have to hand if things were getting really wet/boggy.

 

So the general feeling then is they're all uncomfortable so if you must have them cheapest is the sensible option?
