Awesome, great feedback guys. Yeah, Steel toe for sure, and I’m leaning towards shank now also. Like Chuck was saying, work boots can do the job, but standing up on a tower for a long time on a rung while your ground crew gets their stuff together can be a whole different thing for longevity.

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.

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?
