Only used manual and electric saws for carpentry.I'd want a boot that could eat a bit of chainsaw so you have time to react.
I dont know if you've used a saw but sometimes you cut up limbs close to the ground by your feet.
You get fatigued, you trip over a stump, roll your ankle, make a bad cut. Yeah, in perfect world you can cut barefoot but that isnt the point.
Frankly Id be more concerned about the straight up exhaust fumes than supposed foot strain. Not to give you something else to be paranoid about. Lol
Or honestly just cutting trees is hazardous work. Your awareness is gonna keep you safe, dont wanna be looking down worried where youre stepping when you need to react quickly.
Anyway, please man youre worrying me. At very least i dont want your tree buddies laughing at you when you roll up in your ninja shoes. Lol
It's conservation work for the state, the chainsaw usage is usually clearing brush for wildfire mitigation. More than the exhaust the use of pesticides on invasive species is my biggest concern.
Thankfully they already know I'm a retard.
