STEIN DEFENDER MAX Chainsaw Boot
Premium Protection. Engineered for Performance.
The STEIN DEFENDER MAX is a high-performance chainsaw boot designed for professionals who demand maximum protection, comfort, and durability in challenging conditions. Certified to Class 2 Chainsaw Protection (24 m/s) and S3 EN ISO 20345:2012, this technical safety boot offers complete confidence in the toughest environments.
Built for Extreme Conditions
Crafted from premium Italian PERWANGER® leather, the DEFENDER MAX provides exceptional water-repellence while remaining highly breathable. This world-renowned leather is trusted by leading footwear brands for its long-lasting performance and resistance to abrasion, moisture, and wear.
A 360° rubber rand adds further protection to the lower boot, shielding the leather from knocks, scrapes, and debris.
Advanced Impact Protection
Fitted with D3O® Side Impact Protection, the DEFENDER MAX safeguards the lower fibula against knocks and impacts—especially useful when using foot ascenders or climbing in confined spaces.
Superior Comfort & Climate Control
A climate-regulating waterproof membrane maintains breathability while preventing external moisture ingress. Inside, anatomical padding and a padded tongue deliver exceptional comfort and support for long hours in demanding conditions.
Uncompromising Grip & Stability
The VIBRAM® TETON sole features a bi-directional, high-profile lug design for outstanding traction and braking power. Its self-cleaning tread pattern prevents dirt build-up, while the asymmetrical undercut heel provides a secure, natural step for added stability on uneven terrain.
Engineered for the Perfect Fit
Equipped with roller-bearing eyelets and a double-riveted speed lace system, the DEFENDER MAX ensures smooth lacing, precise adjustment, and a secure fit where it matters most.

Important Safety Information
No PPE can offer 100% protection against handheld chainsaw hazards. Always ensure the product is suitable for your application and follow all manufacturer safety instructions and training requirements.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
When selecting your boots:
- Choose a size that allows your toes to move freely without pressing the front.
- Avoid excessive heel lift—if there’s more than a finger width, the boot volume is too large.
- If unsure between sizes, opt slightly larger (extra socks can improve fit).
- Wherever possible, try on your boots at an authorised STEIN dealer to confirm the correct size.
