    Alternatively you could bring some Haix in, I've ordered some direct from factory a couple of times. They have a 2nds store too, and sometimes there's good chainsaw safety boots in there for cheap. My last pair were only classed as 2nds due to blemishes on the leather!

    I have a pair of Haix Trekker chainsaw boots which are pretty much like new and are too big for me if you want them/they fit? Size 11UK. Only want $150 for them.

    Ah not sure. I just checked they're actually 11 us. I'm happy to send them up to you to try and if you don't want them you can send them back

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    @JoshC how would you compare the Meindl forestry boot to the HIAX ? . Ive found some Meindls for $550 . Its still a lot of money but I now need the best boot for my ankle support . The Meindl is very supportive and have a mate that swears by them , 3 yrs hard use .

    Yep meindls are a better and more comfortable boot. Lighter too. Haix have other models which may be more suitable. Hard to really say without you trying them on etc

    eBay. £184 plus £20 ish for shipping. Search for Meindl Airstream Chainsaw Boot. Good high rand and closed cell midsole that shouldn't collapse like Makalus do.

    Your ex-worker has a pair, he hunts in them

    I don't have the forestry boots but I have ex German army Haix alpine boots and rate them well for support. When I rolled my ankle earlier in the year I had them on and was going for a 4km walk two days afterwards.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
