I am on my first pair of WESCO highliners. Been climbing for 17 years. Yes they are beat up but I keep them oiled and mostly dry and they still fit well. I use Danner hunting boots on the ground, water proof and warm.
30-some replies, and there was one other mention of Salewa. Guess nobody else is working in trees???
Having said that - I am bookmarking for those to consider for my next boots. The Keens are comfortable, and work well for climbing (have some grip in the soles, are small enough to move around, etc...), but they aren't holding up to tree climbing (second pair falling apart...).
TreeLogic, please do report back in a few months if you remember to let us know how they are doing!
Once again, I really like these...Leather Hiker Lineman Boots - Hoffman Boots...their claim to fame is the mesh should breathe better in hot conditions.What is a good boot for spur climbing that is good for hot weather? Also need a high top for climbing and on the ground. Again something that is designed for hot weather. Thanks

Good point but If all you did was follow me around and correct me, all you would get done was following me and correcting me.
For spikeless im now useing lase to toe combat boots. I got them for 30 bucks. For spike work i use 16 in Hoffman's. Line man style. Almost cant feel my spikes.
Hoffman boots has a nice selection of there own and some imports. Check out there website
....ArbPro originals. They are on closeout for only $150 at Treestuff.com now if they have your size.......
I'll pop back in after trying them out a few times.
this might help you in taking a good decision for work boots https://shoespundit.com/best-slip-on-work-boots-for-construction/Vasque Sundowner
I wear the Vasque Sundowner. I just do me weekend firewood cutting on the ground. I have bad ankles and these do great and are comfy all day long.
Yes agreedAriat ATS lace ups, I get a new pair for Cristmas every year or so ware them for casual were for 6 months, then to climb in, they are the only cheaper of the shelf lace up boot that doesnt roll over in the counter (heel), they still have raw hide in the counter and toe box about $120 was using justin lace up but they lasted 3 months and would roll over.
While in Colorado I got the insulated water resestaint ones went 1/2 size up, and didnt have the 6 months to ware them in so they did blister a little, and the insulated ones are a bit heavier too,
