keg Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I do a bit of amateur tree stuff an have all the PPE kit except boots. My current boots are also my walking boots and i have seen some new ones that will do the trick as they are Kevlar and Steel capped. They are also described as good for walking in but sound heavy at 2kgs Meindel Woodwalkers are the model. Any thoughts, has anyone tried these? Thanks Keg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I know meindl have a really good reputation in the walking boot world but with most boots untill they are on your feet you wont know if they fit your foot shape.
