stihl elten chainsaw boots? any good?

[matt9923]

I just baught a new pair of stihl elten chainsaw boots for $37

DO they have a steel toe and Kevlar liner? The price was to good to pass up, they might be a bit small for me so will see and ill resell them if they don't fit.

Never heard of this site but it seemed the legit and the seller responded to my questions in a timely manner. I used PP so they would "probably" help me if i got scammed. He says NEW and they been sitting in the garage.

They look OK for the weekend warrior,cutting every day on a side slope NO WAY!!! Not enough ankle support for me I'd roll'em and ROLLED ANKLES S##K!!

better then what i have, iv lived in the woods my whole life and have never sprained an ankle.... even with sneakers. I'm more worried about cutting my foot up, iv lived with regular boots forever but i think its time to stop risking it.

been in the woods for a few years,and have always cut with wal-mart forty dollar range hiking boots on.(mainly because cant afford anything else)but i do have a backup pair of calks,but rarely use them in this dry climate,hikers are much lighter to get around in for me,not safe but none of it is

Whoever wore those boots pronates as bad as I do.

How are they for support? Waterproofing? Toe room?

Any idea of U.S. regular pricing?

I'm boot shopping and am stuck on account of wierd/beat to hell feet.

Thanks!

Stay safe!

If you have weird feet, and work on steep ground, save up and get a pair of Kuliens. I'm so glad I got them. They're broke in now and I'm not falling down as much. The soles are still stiff, but that's how good caulks are.

They cost more than Twinkle did, but I make my living on my feet, so it is worth it.

Boot brands I've gone through: Redwing, Whites, Danner, Wesco, and various hiking boots. No steel toes in any of these.

Thanks P!

I have looked at Kuliens, and they are definately old school good stuff!
The cost is crazy, but then anything of value is gonna be, with the dollar bieng next to worthless.

I hear ya on the feet bieng the money makers.

If my feet are miserable, I'm miserable and grumpy as a constipated Bear.

I'm hoping the Stihl boots with the Euro sizes are compatible with goofy feet cuz I have yet to find a steel toed boot that has room for upturned Morton toes. Bloody toenails stinks when you're trying to have fun stump jumping in the snow.

Stay safe!

No it costs you,but its usually under 100.00 for a rebuild and they are like NEW again.. Drews boots in Oregon does all my work...www.drewsboots.com

I got the boots. They are better then expected. They have good ankle support even tho they don't look that high they aren't to short.. They look like they should protect me pretty well.
