I wore asolos for a while and liked them. When Arbpro decided to make the boots with the attachment for a rope walker system, I got a pair to basically design a HAAS for the boots. I love them. they work fantastic, not only do you get that cool attachment point, but you also get a great pair of boots. It may be worth waiting a week till tree stuff gets them.

treehive, how's the sizing on the Arbpros? pretty standard?

Alessandro (Arbpro) said they would offer 1/2 sizes through 13 (EU 47), so that would include 12.5 (EU 46.5), which most companies don't. I think that's a smart move. I'm not sure about width, but the lace to toe design seems to allow for more potentially happy feet...within reason, of course.

I just got my Hoffmans in a week ago. Not as bad breaking in at all as I thought it would be. It only took them 2 months to get to me.

has any body tried the La Sportiva Glacier wild land fire boots?

I'm seriously looking at these for my next pair, since the rubber rand that goes around the toe box is always the first failure point, and then the little cloth laces around the ankle...

I really like my scarpa fuego. They're almost the same boot

Picked up a pair of salewa 's after a week of climbing they feel like a pair of flip flops and my arches are killing me

 

[joezilla11]

Which salewa did u get?

yea, seem to be.

Gtx

It was great to be climbing in some light weight boots, felt amazing to shed all that weight of the heavy logging boots

 

[dmmjunkie]

Which gtx model?

 

[caleb miller]

Mountain trainer mid

 

[dmmjunkie]

They look weak for tree care imo, I would choose the ravens or condors or even the rapace if I chose salewas.

 

[islandarb]

Mountain GTX, but RAPACE are the best....stiff and made for cr ampons

 

[Jeff_Cochran]

You must be just smashing the removals. Have you tried a good feet insole?

 

[Jeff_Cochran]

I used to wear boots like those with pole spikes on old school thin steel pole gaffs I modified to put a gecko shin pads on. They were awesome. But I wore the boots out and wanted some longer spurs so I do the shoe switch. I put the pruning boots in the truck and work in the loggers with a steel toe. I had a pair of timberland Hyperion but I killed the upper in five months. I have been looking at the salewa gtx but now am having second thoughts.

 

[islandarb]

Either of those boots above are great with gaffs, but the Rapace on the right are better because they are stiffer....that being said I don't do removals day in day out.....but I can stand in hooks all day with either boot no problem....

 

[caleb miller]

How much are the repace
