So I been working for a small tree company in Kansas City area " Lenexa", and my fellow climbers and groundsmen have been giving me crap about my boots. Yes, I am a ground man, not the glorified climber, but its all good cause I am 18 and only been doing this for six months. But... I wear Carolina Logger boots. Everyone tells me I am not a climber so I should not be wearing climbers boots cuase that mean I am posing. I should be wearing hiking boot they say. But they are logging boots. I have seen real climbing boots and they lace to the knee almost, like lineman boots. What your guys opinion? Everyone in Kansas seems to think logger boots are stricly for climbing. They see the high heel and kiltie and go balistic if your not wearing ghaffs. I think logging boot are the best groundmen boots. I had a pair of rocky and ariat packers and hated the lack of support.
