Top 3 Things to Consider When Buying Logger Boots

With long days spent working outdoors, logging professionals must perform their job in whatever conditions Mother Nature throws at them—whether that’s extreme heat, cold, rain, snow, ice or wind. Facing the elements and workplace hazards daily, it’s important to prepare yourself with the best possible equipment to meet your job site demands. Are you in the process of selecting your next pair of logger work boots? Use this easy-to-follow guide to help you select a pair based on your workplace needs.

Loggers are surrounded by hazards, working with large trees, chainsaws, heavy equipment and various sharp items. Work boots specially designed for loggers is the answer. In addition to overall protection, they also feature either a steel- or composite-toe insert to further protect your feet from any heavy falling objects.

In addition to protection, it’s important to select for maximum comfort and support. When spending hours on your feet navigating uneven forest terrain, features like a grippy sole, climate control system, two-zone lacing system and GORE-TEX waterproofing all aid in keeping your feet dry, comfortable and supported. The greater the comfort and support, the less prone you are to fatigue, potentially leading to injury, on the job.

As the old saying goes “you get what you pay for.” A cheap logger work boot will not stand up against hard use and may need to be replaced quickly. Robust materials like nubuck leather, GORE-TEX waterproof liners, and thick rubber soles make our boots last through the toughest of conditions without failure. While we may not be the cheapest boot you can find, we offer the best value in terms of performance for the money.
