    Andrews boots

    Anyone using the wilderness or the Antelao Zebru SPX boot. Will be mainly used as a work boot on the farm ( not in the yards) and hunting. Boss said he will buy me a pair of andrews so am not going to say no.
    Any feedback on the above models would be appreciated.

    The pair I had lasted about a year which is about all i seem to get out if any boot, however i found them to be rather uncomfortable to be honest an also for some reason the lace hooks seem to get caught on bloody everything which isn't great I you do alot of fencing etc. Only ever took them hunting once as they were very hard on both my heels...

    Havent got either of those but have the safety boot version and by far and away the best boot I have ever owned, not used in a farming or forestry situation tho used in engineering they have outlasted all my past "engineering" boots by three times and will make it to 4 times as long.

    I beleive @BRADS is or was using them farming tho?

    They are a bit heavier than a tramping type boot tho.....if you are doing lots of chainsaw work tho it would be worth it for the snag protection.

    The zebru, I have a friend who has the wilderness tho an they have lasted well on the farm, I think he may have even got them resoled after a couple of years. But for me I wouldn't be buying the Zebru again.

    Ended up buying the wilderness felt better walking around the shop, the zebru rubbed a bit on the back. Could have gotten better but didnt want to risk it.
    I hate buying new boots
