Hi Joe and others

 

I just signed up to this forum, hello from Finland!

 

I know this is an old thread but anyways:

 

I too hope to find chainsaw boots suitable for hiking, too 

 

So if comparing Stein Werewolves to Meindl Airstream do you find, by your experience, that Stein Werewolwes are more comfortable for hiking? The terrain I most hike & walk is forest or hills, not really rocks or mountain..therefore, I think the sole could have at least some flex ability..if possible

 

Further, I do not climb in trees

 

I appreciate any help as this the first time I'm on the market for chainsaw boots.

 

Thanks, Artto

The werewolves are marketed as a climbing boot. They have chainsaw protection but no toe cap.

 

If you're going to be doing ground work with a saw I wouldn't recommend them.

Yes, ground work + hiking / walking. So is Meindl Airstream therefore what you would recommend in my case? or something else?

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you guys,

 

So the consensus seems to be Airstreams / Woodwalkers are fairly ok for walking / hiking although not optimal choice due to weight - protection obviously mean more weight, I guess so if I want protection I need to pay the price as a heavier boot..

 

I'd better check the weight comparison between Airstreams / Woodwalkers, though
