No chainsaw boot will stop a saw at full chat.
I have had to wear chainsaw boots for the last 20 years,the Meindels with the red rubber welt are the best,If they suit your feet,Tyrol " fighters" are another good choice ,had a few of pairs of Haix and found them pretty hot.
I got given a pair of Husquvarna boots to trial and they are honestly the worst pair of boots I have worn since leaving NZ.
I only wear chainsaw protective boots because I have to.If I didn't have to I would be back to wearing Wesco's in a heartbeat.
