Chainsaw boots as walking boots?

[Stoatally]

I need a new pair of walking boots but also want a new pair of chainsaw boots more suited to climbing than the hulking great pair of treehog extreme boots I bought for 30/31.

 

The walking side of it would be walking the dog a couple of miles a day, not proper hiking stuff - no worse than a bit a brash dragging.

 

I've been looking at Meindl Airstreams or Scafell Lite boots.

 

What does anyone think?

I use my scafells for leisure as well as work, good way of wearing them in😀

[Richard Thompson]

Both are comfortable for work and walking and I have both, but my scafell lites have split above the heel protection after six months.

I would say go for the meindls

[Joe Newton]

I have Scafels, Airstreams, and Stein Werewolves.

 

All are great, but if you already have a pair of chainsaw boots, I'd go for the Werewolves. Fantastic for climbing, and very comfortable for hiking too.

I do have some chainsaw boots but they're horribly tough, the tongue rubs my shin if I'm in them for long so these could potentially be the everyday boot.

 

I'll have a look at the Werewolves

Wear my airstreams for long and short walks. Nice and comfy and waterproof, I tend to wear them 8 hrs+ each day of the week anyway.

My meindl woodwalkers are a bit heavy but fine for walking, been up Snowdon , Skiddaw, Helvellyn and a few others.

My Tirrol's probably spend more time on my feet than any other pair of shoes/boots and work fine as walking boots.

I sometimes need to walk miles along the railway lines and find chainsaw boots are the best for job

 

You get what you pay for I guess,

Are you suicidal like?
