Can anyone recommend a good pair of shoes for window cleaning ie lightweight, good grip on ladder & roofs etc

They must be leather & leather lined

Preferably available online

Thanks in advance

how long did you have them james ?

i agree with gav.  they last about 4 years.  last year i bought the 'lifetime guarantee' doc martens.  they cost £135 but whenever they wear they they will replace them.  dont ever need to buy a pair of boots again.

They only lasted around 2 months. Didn't even last the cold spell.

2nd vote for doc's, wore out my lace ups last year so have gone for the Chelsea slip on boot this time, much easier and you know they'll last, not the most stylish but I'm heading towards 50 so I'll get away with it.

If you don't think the Chelsea boot is stylish, get down to specsaver man.

I was gonna say chelseas, they are just so comfy and last well.
Too good for work really,  but I just wanted to wear them all the time  

Chris, do you work on Shoreham beach ? think we may have met

Well being as nobody else has pointed it out mate , shoes are of no use for cleaning windows , get yourself a mop and squeegee , much less scuffing
