They look good !

Thanks for the input guys ! Gutted about the Aku Croda's as i really liked the look of them, saw them at the trade show but not in my size. Tennis look like a comfortable walk about boot not too sure how long they'd last being climbed and worked in everyday. as for the werewolves the lack of heal on them is slightly putting me off but they seem a good idea loosing the steel toe. The search continues .....

ill have a look now ! Are those the ones that are chainsaw protective but have no steel toe cap ?

Hi Everyone, Now summers here (between the rain showers) im looking to lighten my PPE when i can. Im on the look out for a comfortable pair of boots both for on the ground (surveying & Inspecting) and up in the tree for light reduction works using handsaws. A few boots that have caught my eye are... Aku Croda Arbpro evo 2 5ten guide tennies Gore-tex superalp gtx if anyone has had any experiences with any of these boots or owns a pair id love to hear your opinions on them Pro's and Con's. or if anyone has any suggestions about other boots they think are best im all ears. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiliesmodern/thumbup.gif Thanks in advance,http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiliesmodern/thumbup1.gif Jack P.s When the chainsaws and heavy equiptment comes back out to play my toes will be safely back behind Kevlar and steel toe caps.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiliesmodern/001_tongue.gif

Hi guys, I'm a student at Capel Manor Collage doing a level 3 diploma course (in arb). I am currently undertaking a assinment called investigative project, i have chosen to do my project on Reviewing and comparing different types of climbing equipment. (For example: Comparing the willans harness to the tree motion harness, ways of ascending into the tree and how ropes have changed over the years). If anyone could give me any sources of infomation, Any of your own experiences with different equipment and how equipment has changed over the years, which could help me with my project. Thanks Jack
