Winter footwear is a different matter altogether, spend money on that!
Agreed. This is my first set of poncey boots (usually spend around £80-100 which is plenty fancy compared to most). But working outdoors in an often wet environment, with lots of nasty shit around - I wanted something that’ll keep me warm and keep the nasty shit out. Noticed my current boots are letting moisture in and said fuck it.

I’m yet to find winter workshop boots/trainers I’m happy with. Now I’m not working outside in all weathers I’ve not really cared as much about footwear.
The best chainsaw boots I had were the basic Meindl woodwalkers, used to get them for about £100 pre-Brexit, sometimes less if you paid cash or there was a sale on. I’d get 18months of daily climbing, dragging, general shit kicking before they started to leak. The cool red pro ones were a bit nicer to climb in but were £60 more and would be fucked in a year. I once made the mistake of spending £300 on some vegan chainsaw boots. They were so uncomfortable and shit I gave up on them after a week.
I notice the meindls have almost doubled in price since I last bought a pair.

I have just bought two pairs of heavy canvas work trousers for £18 each. If anyone believes that the £299 ones will last longer than 16.6 pairs of the ones I bought (the 0.6 is presumably a pair if shorts) in actual daily work, they are seriously deluded.
