Gotta agree w/ dnk;it starts w/ the feet and moves up, calves, hips, back, shoulders, neck,and of couse the brain cramps trying to remember it all.Footgear w/
wimpy soles is the worst for ladder work.
Good luck, and if you PERSONALLY haven't
de-energized the circuit,test it before you touch it.

Test it even if you have... Between people powering things back on and circuits improperly fed on both ends, you can get surprised.

1. boots wih a steel shank in the sole.. helps take the pressure "hot spots" you get on ladder rungs off your feet

2. tall boots.. at least 8 hole. I can't stand these low cut boots that are everywhere out there that just barely pass your ankle- no support there. Try a pair that goes as high as your socks and you will notice a difference.

3. light weight!

I have been trying different boots to find the perfect one. Still haven't found it yet, but I have never gone home tired (foot-tired, at least....) with a pair of Magnum boots. They aren't the burliest boots on the market to be sure, but they are pretty cheap and made by turntec- a running shoe company- and you can definitely feel it. They are leather/nylon so they are very light on your feet and they also have steel shanks in the sole. For underground/ditch/shovel work they are a bit light but I find hem great for scampering up and down ladders

In reagards to the boot issue:

I have had every pair known to man kind I think.
The worst ones for me were the $200+ ones like Cat, and them Wolverines. They hurt from day one till the day I threw them out.

The most comfortable boot for me were the Tom Mcann's. From K-mart. And they only cost $39.00.

Go figure......

Dnk........
