Wrenches,
Our neighborhood in Austin, TX was hit by an epic hail storm in the
spring. A lot of roofs in the neighborhood were replaced afterwards.
Our roof is just being replaced today. I thought I’d share a relevant
& unsolicited product endorsement from our roofing contractor.
His whole crew is wearing Cougar Paws, which have replaceable rubber
soles. The rubber soles are very soft in order to provide good
traction on steep roofs w/out tearing up the roofing, esp. asphalt
shingles. The shoes themselves are built to last and the soles attach
to the boot using Velcro. Working 100% on residential re-roofs, mostly
comp shingle, these guys are going through one $15.00 sole per person
per month. His company buys the shoes, but the crew has to buy their
own replacement soles.
Seems like a smart shoe for working on roofs.

RE Wrenches,
In regards to shoes we have been testing the Cougerpaws with some
of our installers and sales folks*,

up.
Previous to that we required Vans, as they are “grippy” but not
aggressive. They were suggested by roofers after some very hot
days. We also use a product called the Spaghetti Mat to help
protect the roof.
