If I'm running a saw, boots for sure. When I was up in the mountains, I would wear Nicks hotshot boots, being an idiot I gave them to a friend when I moved to the city. Now I want to get another pair :confused2: . When I mow I wear a couple different pairs of hiking shoes/boots. They were provided for testing (unrelated to lawn care, for my real job) and have worked good. They are Salomen forces, mid and low in green.
