Ditto on the Redwings. I prefer a steel toe. I have dropped enough
tools and use them for other things like chain sawing where a steel toe
is desired. Steel shanks is the way to go!

Ditto for Redwings. Non-steel toed for climbing. Vibram soles give
you the "gap" that Chuck referred to. Can use them for hiking/lawn
mowing/you name it between tower climbs, so a 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.
