Hello Everyone new member here so 'treat me gently'.
Anyway, I have a question that hopefully one of you may be able to help with. I need to buy some steel toe [ST] boots for a walling course, and plan to do a CS30/31 chainsaw course in the future. As a result rather than buying some plain ST boots now, I thought I would spend a little more and get some chainsaw steel toe boots that I can use for both courses. NOTE, I have no plans to use my CS ticket for full-time commercial arb work, it will be just be for personal and community group use/level.
I am considering two types i.e. the 'normal' boot type, and the 'wellington' boot type. The boot type would be better for my wall course [as there is a lot of moving around], and came across these

Two questions [well three actually]:
1. Would they be acceptable certified protection level for a CS30/31 course, as they are only Class 1 yet these 'wellington' type [in 2. below] are Class 3?
2. Do you feel a boot style [the ones above] are better than these wellington style [https://www.screwfix.com/p/oregon-yukon-safety-chainsaw-wellies-orange-black-size-10-5/8725V?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1] for arb work?
3. Are there other brands/CS boots I could consider for similar money i.e. between £60-80 [max]?
Thanks for any advice given, and Moderator if you think this is in the wrong place thanks for moving.
