AT33200 Scafell Lite Class 2 Chainsaw Protection Boot - Brown

First off, let me state that these boots are made with quality and are not a junk boot. My review is mixed with personal preferences and maybe some flaws, but all n all, a very solid boot—-I’ve owned them for about a year and a half with all day use. First impressions, heavy, but they’re packed full of more protection and a steel toe. I’m used to mountaineering boots, but these took some time to break in and get used to. I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of these for climbing around a tree, but for removals and quick climbs, they’re great. These are the best boots I’ve worn with spikes, and they feel very sturdy. For long pruning jobs or multiple climbs where I’m running around a tree, i switch back to a lighter/tighter boot. If I have to walk longer distances, like when I’m clearing trails, I tend to get blisters on my toes and heels. Mostly heels. The size is correct, the volume is slightly larger than I’m used to, so that’s probably where most of the rubbing is coming from. They also don’t breath as well as I initially thought, and that, most likely is due to the chainsaw protection. So they get very hot, but all boots we work in will, especially on warm days. They’re decently waterproof, but I’ve had my feet get pretty wet in them on several occasions. Those were all day wet days no matter what though. Also consider the fact that you need to clean and re proof the boots to keep up with the breathability and waterproofness. Otherwise sweaty feet will trick you into thinking it’s a faulty boot. Simple upkeep.

To sum it up, I’d recommend these boots to anyone who wants a great work boot, especially in the arborculture/forestry field. They wet out easily so clean them, and re waterproof them with a nice wax or oil often. The adjustable tongue is nice to change the volume for less cushioned socks. The Vibram sole grips very good to all trunk bark and man made surfaces. Great product but not the best for my foot type.

Good boots just very heavy

have a couple of pair of these boots and I have to say best bang for your buck they do it all groundwork climbing roadwork water snow mud these things are built like a tank easy break in out the box

Fantastic boot great for climbing and forestry ground work. Waterproof and comfortable. This boot is highly recommended.

Well fitting boot nice and warm

I want the arbortec logos for the laces of my boots. They are already two orders and they don't send them to me

I bought this shoes for my Chainsaw training, they were recommended by the training company. They seemed a bit bulky and heavy but I found them pretty comfortable. It rained and snowed the whole time but my feet stayed dry and remained warm with sock layering . Would recommend as they are safe for chainsaw work.
