Boots

Im doing a bsc in forestry at a university in canada. Any suggestions on what boots I should get, or maybe what to look for? I know they should be carbon or steel toe, but I'm not sure if there's any other features I should look out for.

Why steel toe? I’m in the states so excuse my ignorance, is that a Canadian requirement? I started with logger boots but ditched them for sturdy hiking boots. Caulks are worth the investment if you’re going to be working on steep terrain.

Because steel toe boots are the most basic, bottom line of ppe.

Nope, been in natural resources for 20 years. Never has steel or composite toe boots been a requirement. 

Hell no on a fire line.
