I used to spend a good part of my day on steps driven into wooden telephone
poles.
I tried it when I first got hired with normal work boots, it killed me.
Steel shanks made it possible to continue to work there.

I always liked the steel shank myself. It made it more comfortable standing
on ladders and towers for longer periods of time.

I believe steel toe is an OSHA requirement.

Carolina Logger / Lineman boots.
Love them, wearing them right now in the data center because they're
just that comfortable despite having steel toe / shank. Waterproof, goretex
lined, etc. Awesome, awesome boots.
No real sign of wear other than some scuffs on the leather around the
toecap, despite having them for 2 years in Alaska climbing towers and mountains.
I've had them going on 4 years now, and in the shape they are in look
like they would easily hold up another 4.

May have been a conversation of the past, but thought I’d throw it
out for discussion. What do all you tower climbers out there use for a work
boot? I’ve used Wolverine’s for awhile now and to me has been a pretty good
pair of boots. Durable and comfortable, seem to hold up on tower rungs and
what not. However, I’ve had this pair for a bit now, and am looking to buy a
new pair, but before I do, I’m curious as to what’s the best. I’m considering
a steel shank, steel toe, option, as my currents are only steel toe, but not
sure if it’s worth it. What say you, group?
