Ditto for Redwings.  Non-steel toed for climbing.  Vibram soles give you the "gap"

good investment.

Redwing, and similar work boots, have boots designed for the forest service that have the notch (so your foot doesn't slip off the rung, or the stirrup, should you be on horseback).

Hie thee to a work boot store and you'll find something comfortable that works.  They'll even have test ladders and such to stand on (at least the one I went to did).

They have a variety of "heights" of the boot, so you can get one that is sort of a high-top sneaker height, so it's not too heavy or hot.

There might be military boots that have a similar feature as well.
