Question for anyone out there doin linework, is there a certain type of boot you need for climbing and just work in general? For example, do they have to be "electric shock certified" or something like that and is there a certain type of boot you need for wearing your spurs? I haven't gotten a job yet but I'd just like to be prepared with the proper gear if I do get a call. Thanks!

Thanks Drifter! I'm always happy to support a local business. Nice little documentary they have about their workshop too to see the process, looks like quality work.Quote:

What makes a lineboot a lineboot? (What's so special?) Is it that they have a deeper heel so you won't slip outta yer spure?

I hear whites are such a pain to break in?? That's what's annoying with boots, they are soo **** pricey to buy them and try out.... guess im stuck using what I've known works.Quote:
