Ryan,
You might check to see if you have a Red Wing Shoe store in your area-we have 3 here. They carry a work boot with a steel shank (?) or sole-not the steel toe ones, it wasn't too expensive when I bought a pair-$25-30 15 years ago.  Has a nice 1" heel so you don't slip through and can be comfortable for hours when on a tower. Once you buy a pair, you'll be on their mailing list for life as I'm still getting postcards telling me of sales 15 years later:)

What do you guys use for climbing?

I need a new pair that doesn't slip easily and is comfortable. I have
used regular work boots and motorcycle boots in the past without
issue, but I want something proper.

I have looked at lineman boots but some are uber expensive.  They are
well insulated for lineman work which may explain it.

Thanks
Ryan, N2RJ
