In my opinion the most important thing is a steel shank. A hard stiff sole
also helps. A good heel notch as opposed to a flat bottom is also necessary.
I prefer leather uppers because cloth would snag or tear on sharp galvanizing
drip points or bolts.
Of course comfortable enough to stand in for a couple hours at a time is
important.
In cold areas they should either be insulated or be big enough to allow thick
socks or cold weather liners.

Steve, I know you have seen lots of posts on TT about climbing belts and
safety harnesses. I have not seen anything about BOOTS or work shoes of any
kind. I used to have some boots that I would wear during long outings up a
tower. But they're shot. What have you or the others found to be
comfortable when standing on or working up the tower?
