The first thing my boot touches is it's heel when I am stepping down the log pile. Also helps to have more bite when I'm traversing side hills and banks. Sometimes walking along them (if they are loose or soft) I will purposefully dig my heel into the ground for a solid step.
I'm in central MA and I feel ya on the rain/mud we have had...
After about 8-9 months the liners wore through by the heel on ones i had ,good boot besides that ,i was taught in mass not to tie my boots to let the heat out in summer ,that may be why wore out quicker.
my feet don't usually sweat, its always my legs sweating inside the boot...wishin I had toothpick legs like @Mastermind then the boots would never touch muh legs...
These boots have a composite toe, leather over the composite, and a rubber toe protector. These boots gave a different liner than the previous super loggers, it's more like a mesh. The old ones I had were equipped with some kind of felt?
nope no rubber is going to grip that snot...I loaded a hemlock trailer today and the driver was walking on top, and slipped on a skinned log, I though he was going head first right to the ground...somehow he stayed on top lol
Stepped on a buckskin log one day in the pile first thing in the morning...there was dew on it...and I proceeded to eat shyt down the pile!
More like my head was elsewhere. That's what happens when you don't have your head in the game.
Sounds like your should find a new profession or get serious about it. I'm not a safety Nazi but if tree work or logging is your bread and butter you best change your outlook. End of story.
