I love these boots. They last about 3 to 4 years a pair which for me is good. I destroyed a pair of Hiax in about 14 months

what kind of whites? smokejumpers? linemen?

I get 10" Smokejumpers, with roughout toe and heel, and get the triple shank. Good hybrid brush and spur boot.

The roughout is a good way to go. Triple shank takes a looong time to break in.

Got to love sierra trading post. $97 shipped to my door!

 

[Paul B]

unless you live in another country. I bought a pair of sneakers from them this spring, $60 or so, plus $25 shipping and $20 duty and $25 brokerage fees.

 

[arborworks1]

That sucks.

 

[Paul B]

indeed. the deals from them seem super sweet but if you arent in the us of A, the other fees can make them not so much.

The Haik's are holding up pretty well, although I'm going to have to get a wider boot next pair.

Love My Limmers!

Pic, yo guy!

I have had a pair of Hiax in the past. Very comfy boot and lasted about 20 months. Protector pros I think was the model. At the moment I am on my second pair of Meindl Airstream. First pair lasted 2 years and this pair, so far 19 months. But you fellas would probably laugh as they are red!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Laugh..? Red boots are cute.

Those look like good spur climbing boots! Keep us posted.

 

[Jed]

I wonder: Will the heal be quite substantial enough to keep the spurs from sliding back? Let us know if the soles prove stiff enough too.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't like em.

 

[Paul B]

Those look alot like my Danner boots, not what I would suggest for climbing but what I would TOTALLY recommend for hiking or other outdoor walking.

 

[quabinclimber]

boots are breaking in nicely, have about 10 walking miles on them and are really starting to form to my feet already. I have yet to climb with them. I think they will be ok on spikes however I think ALICO's moutaineering model would be better suited. I have never had a problem wear spikes with low heal boots. My current removal boots are ASOLO moutaineering boots and have almost no heal and have always been pretty good to me. maybe its the type of spikes I wear? I climb with Antec axxes spikes and they have always climbed well no matter what I was wearing for boots.

 

[canadiantreeman]

What kind of spikes?? Pics?

I also like asolo's mountaineering boot. Best climbing boot for the $ IMO. Too bad no hard toe!

 

[quabinclimber]

these...

 

[MasterBlaster]

What an odd angle to carry a saw.

Those climbers look interesting... do they articulate? If so, why?

They look kinda 'bulky.'

 

[FJR]

It is just me or do those look like they will kick out easily and you will end up humping the trunk?
