What Boots To Get ?

[j1985 1,983]

My choices are Meindl Dovre or Taiga or Lowa Hunters.

 

Pros and cons for digging

[Mary 352]

I had them meindl dorve boots, brilliant boot but not for digging, wasn't long putting a hole in the sole of them. I now use Arbortec fellhunter, a chainsaw boot, very heavy and not for plodding around in all day, but a good tough boot.

[j1985 1,983]

I need them for digging, lamping and bushing really!

[Mary 352]

Hard to get an all in one, but definitely recommend meindl dorve for lamping/bushing, maybe a cheap pair of something for digging that you don't mind wrecking.

If your digging then ebay for grade 1 hiax boots-35 notes.for that money I don't mind if I only get a season from them.tried most nothing lasts-stay away from harkila over priced and total wank imo.atb dc

I gave over 200 for a pair of haix and I can't fault them foright digging a bit heavy but when there wore out I'll buy another pair. But I'll be getting them of ebay ad Daniel said. 2 of my mates got them on eBay and you can't fault them for that price

What's the lol about? Don't know if you been sarcastic or not. They are a heavy boot, and are comfy to a point, but you know your wearing them after 8 or 9 hours work and tripping over brash roots and briars, also waterproof, and best of all, your feet are safe from slip of saw.

always had and use Lowa combat gtx boots, waterproof if looked after and considerably hard wearing and comfy, never had any problems with these.................just my opinion.

 

all the best,

jay.

i have the lowa mountain gtx, (there the same boot as the combat just lower on the leg) like carpet slippers for comfort and keep the tootsies bone dry! before these i used to swear by breamaster fell boots by hoggs. hard as nails boot, and if you look after them will last many a hard season, but be warned, they take some breaking in, i actually walked the last mile and a half home in me socks once they cut me feet up so much! lol

Get yea now, don't know how to put up links sorry, they are the class 3 version, like I said very heavy but are virtually indestructible. I've wrecked so many pairs of various brands but these are holding true.
