Description
When you need a boot to perform and give you complete confidence when you are climbing in a tree, look no further than the Pfanner Zermatt GTX chainsaw boot.
Light in weight, but robust in strength, the Pfanner Zermatt GTX Chainsaw Boots feature a full Goretex membrane offering excellent comfort with full waterproof properties. Breathability with the Goretex membrane is equally impressive and keeps your feet comfortable all day.
The hard wearing non-slip Vibram Soles ensure a good grip for limb-walking and are excellent for spiking. Feedback from customers has been particularly positive in relation to the sole on the Zermatt boot. The thicker sole ensures that you don’t fell any discomfort when using spikes.
When the boots were designed there was a lot of focus spent on ensuring that the durability was industry-leading. As a result, the boots are also made from a single piece of leather, for added strength and durability.
Aluminium toe caps and kevlar midsoles provide excellent protection whilst keeping the boot weight down.
The Zermatt boots have been on the market for a number of years and continue to be one of the most popular chainsaw boots from Pfanner due to their comfort and durability. This is the most premium boot that we would recommend to climbers and those that do a mixture of climbing and ground work.
Designed by Pfanner and made in Italy for Pfanner by Crispi, a truly exceptional footwear manufacturer that has been making handmade, high quality boots since 1975.

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.
