Chainsaw Safety Clothing - Clothing - Boots

Boots

Chainsaw boots are based on ordinary steel-toe boots, but have layers of chainsaw protective fabric on the exposed front surfaces. They are available in lace-up leather or rubber wellington boot versions. Popular manufacturers of chainsaw boots sold in Europe include Haix, Klima-Air, Meindel and Oregon.

In the EU, chainsaw boots must comply with EN345-2. These boots must be to the appropriate EN20345 standard for general safety footwear and must also be distinctively marked as suitable for chainsaw use, according to EN381-3

Protective chainsaw gaiters to EN381-9 over general steel-toe boots are acceptable for occasional users.

Famous quotes containing the word boots:

    There’s man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    These clothes are good enough to drink in, and so be these boots too.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have hardly begun to live on Staten Island yet; but, like the man who, when forbidden to tread on English ground, carried Scottish ground in his boots, I carry Concord ground in my boots and in my hat,—and am I not made of Concord dust? I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
