Not sure how good they are for me for climbing, haven’t tried them yet. I want a shorter heel, less weight, and soles that aren’t so hard. These should grip nice on smooth bark for limb walking and still have some arch support for standing in loops or foot ascenders. These came recommended from a few folks, and they were about 100$ so figured I’d try em our. If I don’t like em for climbing, I’ll wear them for hiking and mountain biking and just to kick around in, and I’ll try the Drayer Tango VI. I got a few pairs of Doc Martens Industrial that work decent for climbing, but I wanted something lighter and more grip or traction.
For spurs quality logger boots or real lineman boots can’t be beat, or such has been my experience anyways. I love my Whites, and another pair of loggers I got from LeHigh.
I will say that they’re very comfortable out of the box, but they’re gonna have almost no protection from impact or other abuse you might see on a tree job. I’m used to steel toes and my feet feel vulnerable in these.
