Customer Questions
After doing some searching compairing mens to womens shoe sizes it looks like a womens size 9 is comparable to a mens size 7.5.
Yes based on my experience and some customer feedback these fit pretty true to size.
Terrible on spurs
The geometry on my sole is off as the 90 degree shelf that holds a spur or foot ascender is now shifted back at least 3/4 of an inch compared to every other boot I have climbed on in my 24 year career. As one steps up onto a spur or foot ascender (not mounted to the loop on the boot as with a knee ascender because it is in a good place), force is transferred to the rear of the foot or heel torquing the knee forward causing knee pain. I have bullet proof knees and spur climb 3 to 8 days a week. Because the spur sits so far back, it changes the gaff angle leading to gaff misses and gaff outs. Active motions are necessary to firmly get purchase on a spar. The angle however torques the knee unfavorably upon knee lock out.
Great first climb boots
*Disclaimer: these are stiff like hockey skates but will save your feet from spike fatigue. I recommend ordering a size up and changing into ground boots when yiu are done climbing to save your soles from wearing out.
GOAT
Pound for pound best climbing/ground boot for all seasons.
Have held up
These boots seem durable. I have had them for over a year now and I can still wear them. One complaint I have is that they are rigid and hard on my feet. I don’t really like them when doing ground work. They are definitely made for being in trees.

Nice boots
These have lasted me a good long while! Broke the laces a couple months back, swapped in some paracord and am back in business. Break in period is a little painful but after that, it’s smooth sailing.
Best All Purpose Boot
Great boots for climbing, the accessory loop makes knee ascender attachment easy and saves foot loop wear, good soles make for easy limb walking and dont wear super fast during ground work, comfortable and durable!
A solid boot
The Arbpro EVO 2 boots are comfortable, lightweight, and offer excellent grip. Perfect for tree climbing and arborist work. Great ankle support without being bulky, and they work really well with foot ascenders. Definitely a quality boot worth the price.
Comfy
Super comfortable boots on the ground and in the tree. No break in period. Gets uncomfortable after awhile on spikes. My first pair lasted almost 2 years.
Great boot
I’ve had several pairs of these Arbpro boots and I’ve loved them… only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because since the recent change in height of the ankle of the boot, it now digs into the back of my leg just below my calf. Which can get very uncomfortable after a while. Also… the description says 100% made in Italy, but my size tag says made in Romania. So… I dunno what’s up with that.
Best boots
I was reluctant to spend so much money on a pair of boots since tree work demolishes shoe's.... love these ArbPro Evo 2 boots. The added foot ascender clip is money.. laces to toe help it fit perfectly. Durable, strong heel for gaffs, lightweight. My go to boot...
Very comfortable boot.
These fit a little tight and was told to order one size larger and I feel that was good advice. They fit perfect one size bigger. I like the loop for connecting a knee ascender. The ArbPro Evo boots are very durable.
My best tree adventure investment!
These boots are extremely comfortable, versatile, and durable. The ArbPro Evo 2 are my only pair of climbing boots and can't seem to wear them out. I use the ascender loops and thought they would end up breaking but nope...still good!
THE Boots
These are easily my favorite all around boots for tree work. Great on spikes, great for climbing, and great for ground work. Get them… ArbPro Evo boots are the best.
Best all around boot
I’ve tried several different boots and these are the best boot by far. I has asolo and they were good but then they stopped making them so I tried the arbpro Evo boots and loved them. They lasted me more than 2 years and we’re comfy the day I got them. I am now on my second pair after a short time trying a different boot that did not last long. They work well for climbing but can take a beating kicking brush around on the ground. The straps are nice for srt ascent but may wear out. Stein makes a good foot strap that replaces it easily. I also use the strap on my foot ascender side to hold the tail of my foot ascender. Great boots quit looking and get em!
Great Boots
Love these ArbPro Evo boots, excellent for pruning and small removals. They do run a little tight, I ordered them in my normal size and the width takes a little breaking in. Only downsides I’ve noticed so far in the almost two months of work is they are not very supportive for spending a long time in spikes, and the soles are starting to wear already from working on the ground. Thus the 4/5
Great for pruning and rec climbing
I got these boots in early spring and absolutely loved them for SRT pruning and rec climbing. The ArbPro Evo 2 boots were so comfortable that I even found myself wearing them outside of work. That being said, the only area I found them lacking in was long days in the spikes. The sole is very soft and flexible which is great for technical climbing, but didn't offer a ton of protection against the metal shank of my geckos.
Great boot
I love my ArbPro EVO boots. They are comfortable and grip in the tree. Clipping my knee ascender to the straps on the boot is one less accessory that I need.
