Orange Laces for Scafell Lite Boots

These orange laces for Scafell Lite boots replace worn laces on Arbortec's Scafell Lite chainsaw boots. Laces wear through on hooks and eyelets long before a good boot is finished, and a fresh pair keeps the boot snug on the foot where it belongs.

Why replace laces early

Boot laces wear at the hooks and eyelets, and in a chainsaw boot they also pick up sawdust, mud, and bar oil that grind at the fibers. A lace that snaps halfway through a climb or while you are bucking leaves the boot loose on your foot, which is exactly when ankles roll and spurs shift.

Swapping laces when they start to fuzz is cheap and quick. Keep a spare pair in the truck. More footwear is in our arborist boots section.

Orange is also easy to spot against mud.

Lacing and boot care

Lace the boot firmly through the instep so your heel stays seated, and tuck or trim the ends so they cannot catch on brush, spur straps, or a chain. A well-laced boot is part of how a chainsaw boot and spurs work as designed.

Clean mud and sawdust off your boots at the end of the day and let them dry away from direct heat. Check the uppers, the cut-protection areas, and the soles for damage, and follow the boot maker's guidance on when to replace them.

Re-check your laces at lunch. Lacing loosens as boots flex and warm up, and a quick re-tie keeps your heel locked in for the afternoon climb.
