Steel Toe Forestry Boots with Chemical-Resistant NBR Lug Sole and Ice Stud Compatibility, Sizes 9 to 13
Product Overview
A Northern BC cutblock in April means frozen mud, slash piles, and creek crossings between planting lines. Most boots fall apart in two weeks. The Viking Ericsen VW76-1 is a vulcanized waterproof boot with no glue seams to separate. A steel toe guards against impacts. The NBR lug sole grips wet rock, resists chemical exposure, and accepts aftermarket ice studs.

Key Features of Viking VW76-1 Ericsen Steel Toe Forestry Boots
- Vulcanized waterproof construction bonds the entire boot under heat and pressure into a single waterproof shell with no glue seam. Most work boots are cement-bonded, and that glue joint between sole and upper is the most common failure point in wet conditions. The Ericsen eliminates it.
- Steel toe holds its shape over a full season of repeated impacts from shovel strikes, falling branches, and rolling debris. Composite alternatives can crack under sustained cold-weather abuse, making steel the more durable choice for planters on rocky ground.
- NBR lug sole (nitrile butadiene rubber) resists degradation from chainsaw bar oil, fuel spills, and the chemical treatments applied to seedling stock on a planting block. The aggressive tread pattern grips wet rock, loose gravel, and muddy slopes without packing out.
- Ice stud compatible sole accepts aftermarket threaded studs for early-season blocks that open before the ground fully thaws (common in Northern BC and Ontario from April through mid-May). Remove them when conditions warm up, and the stock lug pattern handles the terrain.
- No insulation by design. Tree planting is high-output work: ten hours of bending, walking, and carrying on a cutblock generates enough body heat that insulation causes overheating and blisters. For winter forestry below freezing, the Viking VW58-3 Winter Bushwhacker is the insulated option in this lineup.
Applications
- Tree planting and silviculture (BC, Ontario, Quebec, and northern blocks)
- Brush clearing and slash pile work
- Forestry surveying and timber cruising
- Trail building and remote camp operations
- Utility line clearing on wet, uneven terrain

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Viking Ericsen boots true to size?
Viking rates the Ericsen VW76-1 as true to size. Order your standard boot size and wear the socks you plan to work in. If you fall between sizes, go up. Cleanflow carries this model in sizes 9 through 13.
Can you add ice studs to the Viking VW76-1?
Yes. The NBR lug sole accepts aftermarket threaded ice studs that screw into the sole and add traction on frozen ground and icy creek crossings. They are removable: pull them when the ground thaws and the stock lugs take over.
What is the difference between the Viking Ericsen and the Viking Timberwolf?
The Ericsen (VW76-1) is a waterproof forestry boot for tree planting and bush work on wet terrain. The Timberwolf (VW69-1) is a chainsaw boot with cut-resistant protection for felling and bucking. Choose the Ericsen for planting. Choose the Timberwolf if you run a saw.
How is vulcanized construction different from regular boots?
Most work boots are cement-bonded: the sole is glued to the upper. That glue seam is the most common failure point in wet conditions. Vulcanized construction heat-bonds rubber under pressure into a single waterproof shell with no seam to separate. The Ericsen holds up through a full planting season.
Does Cleanflow ship Viking forestry boots to the United States?
Yes. Cleanflow Utility Supply Company ships across Canada and the United States. The Viking Ericsen VW76-1 qualifies for free shipping. For crew orders, email info@cleanflow.ca for volume pricing and availability.
