The Bates boots thaty the other poster picked up do come without the composite cap and are otherwise the same. I do low voltage installation, and while I do use the composite cap boot, I have a good feeling these could work for you. The lugs are pretty easy to clean, I get good traction on slick surfaces and have had no issue on steel. I have also climbed up many a building by grabbing a pipe or conduit and putting my feet against the CMU and heading up. Even with painted CMU I get traction. I do wish I had a shank in these though for ladder and joist work as it would be so much easier on my feet.]
Now, the number one factor for me, the ankle support. I have a titanium ankle from a nasty auto accident in 2002. I have to have good ankle support or I would not make it through but about 30 minutes of work and then be limping for 2 days.
