Product information & specifications
STIHL FUNCTION Active Leather Chainsaw Boots — Class 1
The STIHL FUNCTION Active is a newly designed, entry-level boot built for private and professional chainsaw work. A comfortable wide fit with generous padding combines dependable safety with all-day wear comfort — ideal for ground-based cutting, forestry maintenance and estate or garden work.
Available UK 5–14, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
No PPE can provide absolute protection — safe working practices remain essential.
Constructed from hardwearing cowhide suede with a waterproof, breathable membrane, the boots stay comfortable in wet or changeable conditions. The sole material wraps around the boot and over the toe for extra durability against brash, mud and rough terrain. Underfoot, a deep 5mm tread gives excellent grip in wet or muddy environments, and a stability centre bar in the sole improves footing on branches or small trunks. The higher boot profile supports the ankle across uneven ground, a steel midsole increases puncture resistance, and hi-vis orange and reflective trims improve visibility on site.
Key Features & Benefits
- Class 1 chainsaw protection (≤20 m/s) to EN 17249
- Wide fit with generous padding for comfort
- Cowhide suede with waterproof, breathable membrane
- Deep 5mm tread for grip in wet or muddy conditions
- Steel midsole for puncture resistance
- Steel toe cap, S3 rated safety footwear
- Large pull tabs for easier donning with gloves
