"Your feet are the only two feet you got for your whole life and they will always be the ones who take you where you need to go. Treat them like kings because without them your face would be in the dirt."
  -  Tyson Schultz, Oregon Logger

A discussion on the About Forestry forum has provided several recommendations for purchasing forestry/logging grade boots.  I thought I would pass this information along and provide links to some of those recommended companies that have Internet sites.  You can purchase many of the boots right from this feature.

Forum Boot Discussion Question about forestry boots - "Can anyone give me an address and maybe a recommendation for a shop or information on brands?" - JMARTIN9999 • The Complete Boot Discussion • The "Dead Raccoon Oil" Post

Other Boot Companies • L.L. Bean Boots • Browning Boots • Chippewa Boots • Hoffman Boots

The Boot Poll

Users of these boots have had years of experience in the woods and, to my knowledge, have no particular connection to any of the boot companies.  They are professionals that regularly post at the About Forestry Forum.  About Forestry does not endorse any of the recommendations and has no endorsement agreement with any of the boot manufacturers.

With that out of the way, look at some of forestry's favorite boots.

Red Wings and Herman Survivors are good and they are a little cheaper than Whites...  Wear'em every day, even to meetings and when I'll be in the office all day." - PHORESTER

"Red Wings for me, but, they only last 6 months to a year before they are cut, scarred and run over from the woods." - FORESTPRO

"I have worn Red Wings for the past 15 years and have only had 5-6 pair.  One pair lasted almost three years of almost constant wear...." - FORESTER4

"I've got a narrow foot (sometimes A, sometimes B) so, needless to say, off-the-shelf boots won't work for me. Found White's Boots over 20 years ago and have not looked at anything else since then." - RVINWEGE
