I wear Red Wings work boots. Have for years. I've never worn he toe out on the leather, but do go through the soles about every two years or so.
I think mine are EH, but only by coincidence. I didn't shop for them to be.

I wear Ariat Electrical Hazard (EM) work boots (cowboy style boot). Great slip resistant rubber sole.
I get some unusual looks when walking roof tops wearing my cowboy boots!!

I am a big fan of Danner. I wear them in a military style for my military reserve duty and they have a great hiking type boot that I wear for the inspection side.

Red wing 8" boots. toes last 4-5yrs and soles abt 3yrs. Boot tops have lasted as long as 12yrs* if the toe leather lasts. We like them because they are waterproof, soft soles and easy to use shoe covers with or take off.
I never remove my boots, but do cover them every time.
*sitting at the desk as much as I now do, they may last the rest of my life!

I like the way the cheaper (400 series) New Balance sneakers grip comp shingles. They're not that comfortable but you can add some Dr. Scholls gel inserts and that changes everything. They last a year or less.

My hubby is a land-man, and runs and extraction business on the side. When he is out just looking over a property he wears Justin classic cut boots. No steel toe, but he has had these boots for over five years, and claims they are the most comfortable boot he owns (he has wide feet EE). When he is around heavy machinery, he uses the Timberland Pro Pit boss', is what they are called I think. Keeps his feet warm, steel toe, and also very comfortable. Hope this gives you a few leads, good luck!

I need traction on the roof before I need an EH rating.
Red Wing #6618. They're postal issue for traction. I'm on my 3rd, perhaps 4th pair since becoming an HI 9 years ago.

Been wearing ordinary made in China Rockport lace-up shoes forever. Don't know the model. They look like an ankle boot without the boot part. Great traction on roofs, Look OK.

Got a new pair I haven't tried on a roof yet, but they have great traction and a two year water proof guaranty.

Is that a two door cupola, or a four dormer sedan?

Did they "back it in" from above or "go in forward" from below?

I'll bet it was a whole lot easier to get it there than to get it out.
