Ditto for Redwings.  Non-steel toed for climbing.  Vibram soles give you the "gap" 
that Chuck referred to.  Can use them for hiking/lawn mowing/you name it between tower climbs, so a 
good investment.
  Redwing, and similar work boots, have boots designed for the forest 
service that have the notch (so your foot doesn't slip off the rung, or 
the stirrup, should you be on horseback).
 Hie thee to a work boot store and you'll find something comfortable that 
works.  They'll even have test ladders and such to stand on (at least 
the one I went to did).
 They have a variety of "heights" of the boot, so you can get one that is 
sort of a high-top sneaker height, so it's not too heavy or hot.
There might be military boots that have a similar feature as well.
