Search for "lineman boots". They have lots of laces and a steel plate in
the sole. Spendy, though.

Can I get some suggestions for comfortable tower climbing shoes with
some kind of very stiff (metal?) soles to support myself without my
shoes curling around the horizontal tower members while I am
stationary for long periods of time while working upon the tower?
My tennis shoes barely fit between the Rohn 25 verticals, so I ASSuME
boots would be too wide, although I've never seen tower climbing shoes
before (vs. boots), but maybe they are made.
The thought occurred to me that some simple metal plates could be
strapped to the bottoms of my tennis shoes, kind of like the old metal
skates I had in the early 70's, for a cheap alternative without
investing in a pair of shoes that I'll use only a couple dozen times
in my lifetime. However, I've never seen such a thing on the market,
but maybe they exist.
Anyone selling anything used?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
