I’m about to start a part-time gig helping my buddy with his roofing company. I won’t be on roofs that long, kind of a temporary appraisal of damage. But I ain’t trying to fall off and kill myself. I’ve been up on ‘em with my tennis shoes that have plenty of traction and work just fine, but I think I’d rather something that looks more professional, for lack of a better word. Any suggestions?

Residential slopes roofs? If so, I’d go with a comfortable boot being you’re going to be up and down ladders a good bit.

It’s the wrong time of year to start getting on roofs, Carl.

By a lot. Careful when walking up there. When that grit comes off the shingles it gets easy to slip.

In addition to, they like to use the foam blocks from an old sofa.

Cougar paws or any shoe with foam sole. Do NOT get up there in sports shoes.

Believe it or not, Crocs are good for roofs under 6/12
