Shoes for steep roof

[Alexphd1]

Any recommendation for shoes/Boots for working on 45 degree roof. 

[ToughButterCup]

I have a pair of crampons you could use....

[Jeremy Harris]

I used a roof ladder hooked over the ridge, safety rope attached to a belay on the other side of the house and both a sit and chest harness, with both harnesses hooked to the safety rope with my old SRT ascenders.  45 deg is a steep roof to walk up without safety provision, in my view, especially when covered with slates.

I doubt crampons will work on concrete or slate ?. What Jeremy said plus a pair of climbing shoes ( very soft rubber “slick” soles) or trainers.

[Declan52]

Good pair of trainers will be fine.

[Russell griffiths]

Dunlop volley, tennis shoes. 

[Gone West]

I used skateboard trainers, very grippy. The second picture is me, I like sitting down on the job.

Climbing shoes are great, till it is wet.

Don't try walking shoes, one wet rock and it cost me a broken pelvis.

[Roundtuit]

Someone else's. ?

[Alexphd1]

Much appreciated been easy up to now but will get interesting shortly! Will try trainers before spending any more money!

Just though, I have a pair of Dunlop, steel toed, trainer style shoes from that cheap 'sports' shop.  The one that treats all customers like shop lifters.

They grip reasonably well on a wet floor at work and only cost about 22 quid.

 

Think it is these and they have gone up:
