In my opinion the most important thing is a steel shank.  A hard stiff sole 
also helps.  A good heel notch as opposed to a flat bottom is also necessary.

I prefer leather uppers because cloth would snag or tear on sharp galvanizing 
drip points or bolts.

Of course comfortable enough to stand in for a couple hours at a time is 
important.

In cold areas they should either be insulated or be big enough to allow thick 
socks or cold weather liners.

Steve, I know you have seen lots of posts on TT about climbing belts and 
safety harnesses. I have not seen anything about BOOTS or work shoes of any 
kind. I used to have some boots that I would wear during long outings up a 
tower. But they're shot. What have you or the others found to be 
comfortable when standing on or working up the tower?
