Description
The Pfanner Pilatus Chainsaw Protection Boot is the first boot designed by Pfanner especially for the Arborist.
The Pilatus boot, like the Säntis, is one of Pfanner’s new range of budget focussed chainsaw boots, providing the wearer great comfort while working at a lower price than the premium range of Pfanner boots.
The Pilatus Boot stands out with its patented rivets, which stably connect the upper material, the chainsaw protection, and the rand protection. The boot is equipped with an aluminium protective cap and is a faithful companion both on the ground and when climbing. The large rubber rand gives the upper material additional protection when used in challenging environments and prolongs the life of the boots.
This all-rounder with waterproof Sympatex membrane and Cordura lining is ideally suited for use in any weather and can cope with any terrain. The rivet eyelets are ideally suited for climbing as they do not damage the ropes and the Vibram sole has a less aggressive tread pattern so is kinder to the tree bark when climbing.
Due to the budget focussed pricing of this model, we expect demand to be high.

Pfanner Leather Boots
It is essential that the components removed by the water are restored to the leather to keep it supple, flexible and resistant. Leather that is not cared for dries out, becomes brittle and tears. The shoes will be irreparably damaged. The best leather shoes deserve the best care so they remain comfortable, water repellent, and, above all, their durability is considerably increased. Leather is a natural material with invaluable properties. However, it is also subject to a certain ageing process and must, therefore, be cared for regularly.
- Remove the laces before treating them with organic leather balm so that the wax emulsion can also reach the hidden parts of the shoes.
- Apply an organic leather balm to the leather (especially on the seams).
- Use a hair dryer or a hot air gun to melt the wax. This ensures optimum penetration of the wax into the leather. Make sure that you always keep the hair dryer or hot air gun moving so that the leather does not get too hot.
- Do not use grease for leather care. Greases make the leather particularly soft, but the shoes lose strength, and the pores of the leather open up, causing the leather to lose its water-repellent and beneficial properties.
- Never let the leather dry too quickly or in direct sunlight or over heaters or open fires. The shoes should always be well-ventilated and left to dry out after use. Take out the insole and open the lacing. Allow to dry at room temperature (approx. 17 – 20 °C).
- If the shoes are very wet, use a shoe tree to prevent deformation.
- Please repeat this care process if the upper leather loses its water-repellent effect.
The skin is a “living” material that is nourished, among other things, by the sebaceous glands. The sebum produced is a mixture of fats, cholesterol, protein and electrolytes. It prevents the skin from drying out and makes it supple. Without this natural “supply”, the shoe wearer must take care of this task, as otherwise, the leather dries out, becomes brittle and loses its properties.
