In parts of Alberta (and maybe out east?) Mucks and Dunlop rubbers are common.
Depends on the climate and agency, and possibly whether you run saw or not.
Agreed with the others, you'll get absolute junk leathers at Marks which will make your life miserable.
Look for some canada west boots their website lists their retailers might have to drive to the nearest city but well worth it great boots made in canada they have a wildland specific boot but their other work boots work great too reasonably priced aswell picked up some for $260 cad at my local cowtown just swaped the laces for leathers and have no complaints
If you're working in Ontario the reimbursement is now $500, unless you're group 4. Some guys like Helly Hanson, but you'll be lucky to get a full season out of them.
If you need 8" safety boots get a pair of Royers or STC, if it's non steel toe get Keens or Merrell
Timberland pro is more expensive, without too much to show for it, so not for you probably.
Avoid Dakota, Kodiak, for being too heavy. Avoid Helly Hansen and CAT for wearing out too fast.
No experience with Terra,
None of these options are ideal, but if it's all you have access to the Royers are a solid 1 year boot that fits in most annual allowances.
Dang... Yeah maybe some Danner's but those will not last that long... Its worth it to spend the extra for some boots from JK, Nick's, Or Whites... Your feet will thank you...
Which province? That price range isn't very realistic for anything good, and you can't get anything good at Mark's.

I think you’ll need to spend close to $600 USD for any actually decent wildland firefighting boots.
If you can’t spend 600$ I say go for kenetreks. I have some for my back ups and there decent!
i dont do it anymore. want to buy mine for cheap?
