Apparel

The Clip N Step is one of the Arbpro boots built for tree work, aimed at climbers and ground workers who need a sturdy, supportive boot. It suits crews who move between the rope, the stump and the chipper all day.

Built for tree crews

Arborists ask a lot of a boot: grip on bark and wet ground, support when standing on a limb, and comfort through a ten-hour day. Arbpro designs its boots around that mix. The Clip N Step is aimed at climbers who also spend real time on the ground.

Check the product label for toe protection and whether the boot carries chainsaw cut protection. If you run a saw on the ground, ANSI Z133 calls for suitable foot protection. See all arborist boots to compare.

Good arborist boots pay you back in fewer sore feet and fewer slips. Look for firm heel hold, a sole with deep lugs that clears mud, and an upper stiff enough to protect your foot when you stand on a limb or a rope wraps around your ankle. Arbpro boots are built with those details in mind.

Fit and care

Try boots with your work socks and check heel hold and toe room. Break them in before a long job. Clean off mud and sap, dry slowly away from heat, and treat leather as the maker recommends. Replace boots with worn soles or damaged uppers.

Inspect boots regularly and keep a spare pair in the truck for wet days. Dry feet stay warmer and blister less.
