[AFMUG] Installer roof boots

2015-05-14 Thread Vince West
I usually wear a pair of cheap running shoes. While I agree 100% on ankle support being important, boots I find do not offer near the grip that sneakers do. I also tend to work a lot on the balls of my feet, and sneakers seem to accommodate that better than boots. It really depends on individual

No way would I trust something like that to get up a 12/12 roof. Maybe to help a little, but anything over 6/12 I use ropes. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 5/13/2015 4:03 AM, Work wrote: Anyone using the cougar paw boots? I'm told they let you walk up a 12/12 can anyone put any truth to

An insurance adjuster that was a customer of ours actually recommended these to us. He specifically did roof inspections after damage. I have one technician that uses them for really steep roofs. He claims they are effective on a 12/12. There are some variables like the shape of the shingles on

Skate shoes work pretty well for gripping the shingles, as the gravel is a lot like grip tape. However, they have soft soles and the ladder rungs kill your feet after a day or so. Plus, skate shoes have no ankle support. I always prefer boots, as you can lace them up high and you're less likely

I was on a 12/12 yesterday. I wear Danner boots. They have an awesome tread, and are also stiff enough for tower work. They tear the hell out of hot shingles though if you twist your foot at all. On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 9:31 AM, Vince West vi...@shelbybb.com wrote: I totally understand. At
