Good boots fir climbing with spurs

[Treezybreez]

I've tried the red wings, but they were like boat anchors. I tried a pair of comfort core logger boots by Georgia Boot and they were comfortable straight out of the box. Only downside in my opinion is that they wear out rather quickly.

Hoffman Boots. There pole climber or hi line. Dual shank in the sole. Pick either 16"or 10" Game over. Near White quality for much less $. There a bit heavy but you can stand in them all day!

yes, this i've been in the same pair for at least 7 years

I don't mean to jump off topic but I would like to know if anyone knows of any steel toed boots good for foot locking. I climb with RedWing loggers and the rope always slips through when try to foot lock with them. Got to have steel toes at my job.

Viberg lineman's for me I don't even feel the spurs underfoot.

I can't footlock with a heel on the boots personally,ie gaff boots....

another vote for hoffmans.

12" leather vibram.
i too have been waiting for fucking ever for my nick's boots to show up and we'll see how they compare.

i prefer climbing in heavy leather loggers to your those hiking booties any day.

My nicks arrive Monday. I ordered in march.

 

[r0ck1r0ck2]

got my nicks today. they're beautiful.
just beautiful.

hey Magnum783, how goes your break in?

seem like it'll be fun.

they're serious tough as hell stomping boots.

both pair of hoffman rebuilds look great.

it's been warm enough that i'm still wearing my warm weather 12" leathers.

the rebuild on the leathers is great.
beefy

Just oiled them up last night, haven't even worn them having shoulder surgery Friday so it will be a while before that even happens.

Here they are awaiting my wear!

Zounds!

See those bandaids.?
I'm ready for this.
I'm off to get a spray bottle and some rubbing alcohol.

So, this is half show off, half roundup.

Top to bottom.

The Nick's are breaking in nicely. I'm doing the recommended alcohol water spray and it's working great.
Nick's says 80 to 100 hrs for breakin. When I broke in the leather Hoffman's I bet it was something along those lines..

Today however, the 12" Hoffman' have busted out an eyelet in the ankle.
Bummer. I think that means they're toast.

Chippewas provide great comfort, last forever, and don't break the bank. They also aren't calf huggers, which I can't stand...sorry Wesco!

The 12'' Hoffmans don't count on the scale .... half the material is still up in the trees. Looks like they have served you well.

I bought Chip's, they've been much better than what I had.

my friend told me "a pair of steel toes is like carrying a spare pair of hammers".

I sport a pair of Chips when on a heavy schedule of removals. They wear well for the money, and I can walk in and buy them locally. There are Chinese knock offs also. They just don't last as long. I tend to wear hiking style boots most of the time and have no problem adorning spurs with them but, like I said, when doing a full day of removals I reach for the Chips. Enjoy yours .... they are good for the money without a doubt!

That looks about as comfortable as walking on hot shards of glass.
