I love the Andrews! I was a bit wary of the quality of the foot ascender setup, but I've had them for a year now and they're still solid. Nice to be able to pop the ascender on and off and keep it in your pocket. Great video. Good to have you! 🥳
This is Definitely for the PROS. The COST of Comfort and Safety is INFINITE ‼‼‼ Much Respect💯 for the TRADE. Very Nice Vlog as Usual, not Sure if I would be in the Market for Chainsaw Boots but I have some Great INFO to Compare and Shop with. Thanks for the KNOWLEDGE ‼‼‼ Stay Safe, Sweet🌹 and Blessed 🙏🏾❣❣❣
Maybe not “pro” enough boots; but you having a bit insight on Stihl so you may have the answer anyway. Is Stihl Dynamic S3 a reasonable boot for a occasional wood cutting (rarely climbing) with wide feet? På forhånd tak 🙏🏼
I typically use tall Danner construction boots. Although they have hard toes and several other features that are great for work around oily surfaces, puddles, round rung ladders, and electrical current, I don't think they would stop a chainsaw from cutting me anywhere other than the toe. I really should invest in one of the models you showcase here, considering I run chainsaws more than any other tool. All my other gear is centered around chainsaw use, but for some odd reason, my boots aren't really made for that, and sadly, that's true for everyone I cut with. They're all just using similar boots to what I use, which I don't believe are tested for chainsaw safety. I'm glad to see that you posted this introduction to some models of boots that are safe around saws. So many "treeple" think that a hard toe is all you need, but there's more to chainsaw foot safety than that.
Had two pairs of the red andrews, first pair lasted 18 months, second pair split after two months. Have the Pfanner groundwork boots a year now and they’re still fine, just the soles are gone slick. Looking at the Sip Grizzlies next if my dealer can’t sort out his Pfanner supplies due to Brexit…
@@Femalelumberjack to add to that, best is really vague. May not be the best if you really fear crushing toe injury as it's aluminum toe, may also not be the best if you're looking for the most protective as it's not class 3.. but for residential tree work where we're lowering things a lot and it's not super hectic, it's the best for me. Extremely comfortable. Take care!!
I have the same problem with my work boots swapping between Altberg, Lowa and Danners on a daily basis. I have Meindl for the forest they are good quality and clean up well.
Thanks for the review. I’m interested in the arbpro servino boots. I’m in the USA and my size is a 91/2 wide. I’m not a girl but I hate my toes being punched as well. I generally need a wide size boot. I enjoy your review videos. Thanks again and may God Bless and watch over you and your family.
Hi Felixia, Thank you for the great review. I’m really looking for the Meindl. A hiking style boot is what I need. Would you rate your own foot small or normal wide? I have wide feet and would like a bit more space, but don‘t like the Stihl too much. Do you have the Meindl in your regular size or need to order larger as normal? Thank you very much and have a lovely Christmas. 🎄 Regards from Germany
Great review. I don't like boots that are tight around my toes. I've got a pair of Stihl logging boots and they are comfortable and light weight. As always I enjoyed the bloopers. Take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next vidja. Be careful out there.
Great video! so I have the arbpro andrew. love the boot but my feet do hurt after being on spikes all day. Do you think the scafell light is the best for spikes.?
I've always preferred hard toe, logger heel, 10" leather logging boots... I don't climb. I have logger training and work from the ground. I mostly do TSI and storm damage work on rail trails, sportsmen's club, and land trust properties. I like the ankle support in uneven terrain... Though that heel worked against me a couple years ago. A steep embankment gave way under me and the heel snagged on something as I fell down the embankment. That resulted in me breaking my ankle. My cutting partner had to pull me up the embankment with a tow strap, load me in the back of the truck and transport me. Ugh! I guess there is no such thing as the perfect boot though my Nick's and White's come close.
Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking at the Andrew as I like the class 3 protection. How would you rate the flexibility of the Andrew compared to the others? Really only interested in something for ground work, not climbing. Thanks again!
Personally I think the class 3 rating is a nice-to-have but not important. The fact that almost all arborists and woodmen work with class 2 or 1 boots their entire careers says a lot, I think. When I've hit my feet or come close to hitting them, it's been a quick downward tap that bounces off - it'll almost always be the pulling chain that hits your foot, and that's going to push the saw away from your foot, not hang onto it. So I wouldn't get too fixated on protection class as a factor. Comfort and good fit are by far the more important safety considerations - all of my trips and missteps have been due to distractingly uncomfortable/ill-fitting/cumbersome boots.
Most girls seem to have lots of shoes, however you have chainsaw boots!😂 seems legit! ❤️. It's funny I was actually going to talk to you about saw boots. I've never owned a pair of them.
Hello from Canada! Great review. I normally just wear really lightweight work boots in the warmer weather if I'm cutting. But in the cold snowy weather, I wear an insulated chainsaw boot. But I might look into some of these boots. Did you say you jump around in puddles when you are not working? LOL. Thanks a lot.
@@Femalelumberjack please let it be . . . safety glasses next Gotta protect those eyes. ohthoseeyes, sorry where was I yeah yeah, sorry, safety glasses and ... ??? oh no, gloves?, this could be a loong one.
