boots

[John Paul Sanborn]

I've used the cheapo boots too and will never again. Maybe it is the +100# I have on you, but I do not find them comfortable. I got a real high arch too.

As soon as I did my first FL on these boots, I knew it was worth the dough I spent. Not to mention the level of comfort I have in them for 10 or more hours.

Think the model you are talking of is also listed in the ISECO (www.iseco.com) catalogue-on page 3 of the work boot section.
I have a pair of these and thoughy they are inlined-don't be surprised if they no longer are available as they were made by HHBrown Canada (marketed under Gorilla and JB Goodhue Brands), which is no longer in biz. Last time I was in Marks they had some on the shelves still.

Tim, do you have the steel inserts in your velcro pads? I have personally have the steel insert and feel that it is worth its weight in gold. I have a friend who got won a pair of the velcro cinch style without the steel inserts... I used them MAYBE once or twice.. NEVER again. The kid actually wound up buying a pair of the 2 strap pads. Not sure exactly what they are called. I had worn them a few years ago at a tech center and hated them too. He no longer uses his velcro pads.

Tim;
There's a bone on the inside of your leg just below the knee.
If you bend your leg slightly and run your finger up the inseam of your pants below the knee you`ll feel it.
Your leg iron should be adjusted to where the top of it rides just below this bone but not touching it.
I`m not sure if it's part of the knee or a separate bone.

I don't think they make any gaffs long enough for me to adjust them that high

With many boots I'v looked owned over the years, there is a problem with multisectioned uppers with exposed stitching. The stitching is always the first part to go. I think I like these single piece uppers I heve now, but it is realy too early to tell.

Hmmmmm. No I don't. Didn't even know they were available. Guess I'll have to checkout the Buckingham website and see.

Where did you get your steel insert from?

I am using a swank pair of climbing boots from Stihl that I picked up in Munich. I have not seen any stihl climbing boots here though . I need some new ones. I'll post a pic later.

Back to work.......................

I am ready to break down and spend a few bucks on a new pair of the Husky arbo boots, but Sherrill no longer carries them!!! Can anyone point me to a dealer who has them?

try this site www.commercialcutters.com

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

If there is an REI or Cabella's in your area, try on some boots that have climbing in their design before you buy something.

After posting the site above, I looked online and could not find the Husky boot but they are in the commercialcutter catalog..
