I am a forester and part-time logger in the PNW and my boot of choice is the Nicks Woodsman! Most of my workdays consist of navigating the forested mountains of either Idaho or Oregon. Every time I am hanging onto the side of a hill or clawing my way through the brush, these are on my feet. My job consists of laying out timber harvest units and determine/protect any hazardous or ecologically protected areas. Most of the time, we are working in steep slope units that have a steepness of up to 90% (45°). We are often in remote areas out of any type of cell service, making safety that much more important.

"Caulk" boots are required for my position because of this. Traction and support are the two most important things when working in the woods of the PNW. These Woodsman boots do an incredible job of supporting my ankles and maintaining traction no matter where I go, and the LTT just adds to the support.

They are the only reason I am able to do what I do without getting hurt!
