Now I get a pair of nice Danner 16" boots. How can I wear them?

[tree md]

LOL, all the climbers wore them pants tucked in when I was younger. Like Tom said, you get chips in your boots that way.

I'm not one of the uber cool climbers that wears $400 chainsaw pants or even $80 tech pants. I wear mostly canvas ####ies to work in and I can make a pair last me about three years. I just bought two new pairs last week. I've never had a problem working them over my lineman boots. Most jeans today are cut where they will fit over your boots as well. Back when they used to cut them more straight legged I would just cut a small slit on the inside cuff of my jeans so they would fit over my boots.

Cabela's doesn't have the best selection of socks. Try the working person's store or wigwam socks. I bought a wigwam double knit hat a couple years ago and liked it so going to try their socks this winter.






This site is pathetic. You guys are concerned about looking cool as tree climbers and that isn't gay in and of itself?? Wtf is wrong with you guys? I usually wear my jeans over the boots, but in deep snow they get tucked in so my wet pant legs don't freeze solid in the tree. It's about comfort, not looking cool. Treemandan, if you pulled that #### with me, i'd tell you to pound salt. I'm honestly shocked. When did treemen become so concerned about looking cool?

yer dam right I care about my coiffure' !

Tom, it looks as though you are getting a whole lot more than just your socks filled with chips and this wearing white after labor day is quite a fashion faux pau as well.

Oh well, I will be over here pounding salt.

I really think its high time the concept of the AS Yearly Calender be put into motion. I think we could accomplish something pretty cool. It would be something of a task. What do you think TreeCo? OD? If ghost man MDS ever shows his pretty face we might have something. Not only do I think I have some pics to make the cut but you guys have great stuff. Tom, you got a great smile, perfect material.
Pipe dream? What do I know how to make a calender? But I'd pay someone to it. How much could it cost? What the hell else we gonna do this winter? Listen to each holler about tucking in yer boots?
Anyway, How about it, whose game? Might be able to sell it somehow...

After 8 years of climbing with regular 6" safety boots, I finally decided to cough up the $400 for a pair of 16" Danner lineman boots. They look very nice, and probably very comfitable too. However, I could not figure out how to wear the long boots (never did this before). Here are a few questions, please help. Thanks
1. When you wear tall boots like that, what pants do you wear? I always wear work jeans to climb with 6" boots. However, the legs of my jeans will not fit over the tall boots. I'm wearing a pair of khaki pants over the boots to the office to day to break in. I do not think that khaki pants are suitable for climbing trees. What do you wear?

2. What socks do you wear with the tall boots. Do they have to be longer than my boots? Also, the only long socks I see in Cabela's are the heavy wool socks. are they good for all seasons?

Get some arborwear pants for #1. For #2, go to a Sports Authority (or whatever sporting goods store you have around) and get yourself some synthetic adult men's soccer socks. They're about 3 feet long and they're meant to be folded down over the top of shin guards. I pull them all the way up then fold down over the top of my boots. That way the sock stays put and won't scrunch down inside the boot during the day.
