Those are really nice. I'm looking for a comfortable set of steel toes. I might pick some Red Wings up on your recommendation.

They're no issue on a roof.

Been there.

Besides when you work on a roof you're really on planks...only idiots go up without jacks. ;)
I'm an idiot  ;D

I like the RedWings because they make uninsulated boots.

I've never owned a pair of their steel toes because I never had to.

I'd certainly give them a try.

I also think they're a real value when you consider the length of time they last.

The guy I work with says I'm crazy to spend that kind of money on boots, but if you do the math they're inexpensive compared to cheap boots

I have a pair of Red Wing steel toes, I forget what model and they're in the car and I don't feel like going out and looking.  [cheeky]

I have to wear steel toes if I'm wearing boots but I try to get away with wearing sneakers when I can because I walk a lot.

Steel toe sneakers?
nope, that's why the boots are in the car. Switch to the boots upon arrival if I'm going to a construction site or keep the sneakers on if I'm in the office or just going to a service contract where I'm not doing "real" work.

For your work I'd agree.

It's not like you do the rigging to get units on the roof or something like that...

and I hear you on the hard head. ;D

I am in the buildings fairly early sometimes like when they are still open to the outside (ie. no windows/real walls yet), so there is technically plenty of hazards at that point.

Steel toed boots and a hard hat only protect you from the minor ones.

If something really heavy falls on you you're make the beast with two backsed anyway.

Yup, then I'd get pissed off, break something and get yelled at.
