Wolfie 106 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Black islanders £200. 2 seasons and still going strong. FTB Just bought a pair of these not tested them out yet but a few of the lads have been raving about them Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ive always thought chainsaw boots would be just the boot for me for digging. Always used steel toe cap work boots and just recently tried to some walking type boots but nowhere near strong enough. So....Im gonna go for a pair of these chainsaw boots, wheres the best place to go and look? The haix trekker look about right. Have a look at the 'Meindl Waldlaufer' Ive been wearing them for work for 3 years and they are unreal. I wear them 5 days a week minimum doing work, chainsaws, digging etc and they are tough as ever. Very comfortable too, I've worn them beating and ferreting etc. They are easily as comfy as my lowa walking boots. Be warned though they will feel like bricks at first but a few days and they wear in very nicely. Really cant reccomend them enough. Quote Link to post
John.s 4 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I use hiax for work they last around 6 to 8 months. I have them one 5 or 6 days a week and eventually the leather in between the tag and the boot wears. The soles wear quickly when you do allot of road work, but they are still a good boot they are tougher than the meindls but not as commutable. We go through around 120 pairs of chainsaw boots a year between the of us in work. Good boots just bulky. Quote Link to post
