ONE of the UK’s leading distributors has added a major forestry and safety boots manufacturer to its portfolio. 

Carr’s Billington Safety is now selling the Italian-made Zamberlan brand, which offers a wide range of footwear for tree-care professionals. 

With its forestry boots starting at Cut Level 2, all boots within this range come as standard with S3 composite midsole, Gore-Tex technology, Vibram outsoles, and the option of the BOA lacing system in the Delimber model. Recognising the pivotal role of weight in boot selection, the flagship, Logger Pro GXT RR, not only provides Cut Level 3 protection and S3 composite midsole but also weighs in at 1,000g (1/2 pair size 42).

“Drawing from Zamberlan’s rich heritage in crafting mountaineering boots, they’ve leveraged their expertise to introduce safety boots specifically designed for extreme environments.” 

The statement added: “Among these, the Mountain Lite S3 GTX RR stands out as the flagship model, integrating all the essential safety features of a 3–4-season mountain boot while meeting EN ISO 202345:2022 S3 standards, and remarkably lightweight at only 1,000 g per half-pair.”
