I am no expert, Hector, but my feet know what they like:

I have a pair of workboots my employer bought for me years ago.  They are
made by IronAge.  The shoes have steel toes and  steel sole inserts behind
the ball of the foot--so the toe flexes.

I also have a pair of hiking boots with Vibram soles that work well and keep
my feet from feeling the rungs.

Both have a wide space under the foot instep between the heel and the main
sole tread where 25G/45G rungs spend a lot of time.  No slipping forward or
backward.

Both sets of boots work great on the tower and my feet have never been
bothered by the rungs.

I use the workboots because they are a bit slimmer than the hiking boots.
