We like a challenge at Arbortec - we wanted to produce a boot unlike any other.  A boot that will combine everything an arborist needs in one efficient package.

The result?

The KAYO

The KAYO climbing chainsaw boots are a new generation of technical chainsaw boots designed to be the perfect footwear suitable for work in the climbing industry. 

The key features of this boot are its shape and height. The low-cut style includes a chainsaw-protected gator and tongue, tailored perfectly for the professional chainsaw user.

The upper body of the boot is handcrafted using premium leathers, laminated with chainsaw protective materials and a waterproof membrane. Our signature BreatheDry system ensures the boots are waterproof and highly breathable making the working day more comfortable.

The Kayo has a rubber randing wrapped around the lower half of the boot, to enhance durability.

The unique lacing system and secure inner sock give the user a snug and comfortable fit for a wide or narrow foot. It will also prevent any detritus from entering the boot.

The Vibram rubber lug sole ensures you will be sure-footed in all conditions.

Surprisingly comfortable.

I was prepared for something a little clunky due to the amount of protection engineered into the boot. But wearing it for the first time was a surprise, it was very comfortable.

Meine ersten Schnittschutzschuhe

Ich wusste schon vorher das man bei Schnittschutzschuhen keine kleinen und leichten Treter erwarten kann, aber diese Schuhe sind wirklich toll, passen gut auch für meine schmalen Füße, und erstmal eingelaufen sind sie sehr bequem und ich kann gut den ganzen Tag in ihnen arbeiten.

Arbortec Kayos

I really like the boots, the only issue I have with them is how they don’t laces up around the top and the saw dust cuff is a little much.

So far so good

I’ve had my arbortec Kayo boots for about a week and a half now. Previously I wore carolina logger boots. I climb 2-3 times a week generally. The kayos are far more comfortable on the ground or in the tree, and in spikes than my carolinas were. Toebox has more space as well, and its hard not to feel stable in these. Breaking them in has been pretty easy and theyve been comfortable from the start. With not much wear on them yet at all, the sole is grippy and the boots are very waterproof. I can’t speak to how long this will be the case, but I am satisfied with my purchase thus far.

Comfy all rounder

Bought these boots for when I teach a couple days a week and had been wearing non protective boots the rest of the time as I only ever climb on site.
As soon as I put the Kayos on I was impressed. I so wanted to not like them so I could keep wearing my other boots that I love so much but the Kayos are now my go to boots for everything.
I've had mine for about 7 months and I have zero complaints, still in fantastic condition but I'm going to have to buy a spare pair because if anything happens to these I'll be incredibly upset

Comfortable boot

Their a very comfortable boot but the tongues to get a bit annoying and to get them snug it quite challenging but over all a great boot for working on the ground or climbing

Comfortable boots with Agility in Mind

I picked up a pair of these Kayo boots recently, wanting to move away from the traditional heave leather logger-style boots. I also switched to chainsaw pants as chaps were just to cumbersome to me.

Both moves were good ones. The Kayos were hard to get on at first, but felt comfortable once I got them on. It helped to really loosen the laces, allowing my foot to get into the protective bootie easier.

They proved to be more flexible than my previous loggers, really comfortable once on, and combined with the pants, I now get fatigued far less and can work longer with this setup over my previous old-school setup.

I am not a professional arborist, but having returned to the family farm after being away for almost 40 years, I'm now facing clearing 34 acres of mainly brush and woods that hasn't been touched in 30 years.

That is a task in inself, believe me, and having lighter, more flexible kit helps my 61-year-old body get the job done easier and work longer days (at least in comfort) as I struggle to work as hard as I could when I was 15-16 on the same piece of ground lol.

BTW I wear size 45 euro motorcycle boots (Alpinestars, also Italian-made), have for years, and tried on both 45s and 46s in these and went with the 45s. So sizing seems spot-on to me. I hope that helps. You don't want them too big or it will hurt your feet going downhill, increase chances of blisters at first, and just prove a poor decision in the long run and these are expensive but so is surgery.

Great but fit big

Fantastic boots but I had to buy two pair because the first were just way to big.
