Sussex County Roof Cleaning Report post Posted October 13, 2014 I have the $40 ones and they really grab a shingle,fall on my ass walking on linoleum, but great on a roof. I want high tops next time around though and waterproof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted October 14, 2014 How do they compare to the Cougar Paw grip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Davis Report post Posted October 14, 2014 They grip shingles pretty well, but not as well as cougar paws. They are awesome on tile roofs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 LOL, if you want to start a great fight, get a bunch of roof cleaners together, and start asking about what shoes they wear. I don't clean roofs anymore, but when I did, I found a boat deck shoe at Payless that had incredible grip, and lasted about a month. It had a soft sole, that I prefer, so you can quickly feel yourself getting ready to fall. It was so good, I took a few days off, and visited every Payless Shoe Store in the Tampa area, and bought up every pair of size 9 they had! My wide ass feet, and the roof pitch quickly did them in, but they were pure heaven on a roof, for the few years those many pairs lasted me. But Man, did they ever stink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Rucker Report post Posted October 16, 2014 We recently switched to this one and love it. Works as good as the Cougar Paw for shingles, and way more comfortable. Last longer to and no pad replacements. for tile we still use the show for the crews black sneaker. http://www.amazon.com/Arroyo-Hiking-Sandal-Black-Bombay/dp/B008J5FHOW/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1413458510&sr=1-1&keywords=arroyo+ii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeakOfPerfection Report post Posted October 19, 2014 Second the Korkers. We just did a cedar roof today. Roof is only about 6 years old and it had SOO much debris that we had no choice but to get on it. My guy strapped on his Korkers and went right up no problem. I would't walk a Cedar roof over 10 years old or if you do have to, make it absolutely crystal clear that any shingle damage is NOT covered under warranty. We try to stay off them whenever possible. And to be clear...these are ONLY for cedar roofs. As for footwear, we use plain old rubber boots with a good tread we buy at the local hardware store. Keeps the feet dry and the chem off. I've had guys get chem burns on their feet from sneakers before. Keeping the feet dry is also healthier for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
