What are the Best Shoes for Painting? Workboots and Shoe Review!

What happens here

The presenter shifts to 'shoes' as opposed to 'boots', starting with the Salomon trail running shoes (specifically mentioning X-Ultras). He highlights these as the lightest option at 14 ounces per shoe. Their Gore-Tex construction makes them waterproof and warm, preventing wet feet during cleaning tasks or in winter conditions. A significant advantage is their 'amazing traction' on roofs, including super steep ones, which he considers the best he's ever worn for that purpose. The 'laceless' speed system is a major plus, making them easy to slip on and off when entering and exiting customers' houses. However, their primary drawback is durability; they tend to wear out quickly (within 3-4 months with daily use), leading him to stock up on multiple pairs. The price is shown as $130.00 on REI.com for Salomon Speedcross 5 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's.

Goal: Salomon trail running shoes are presented as a lightweight, waterproof, and high-traction option, ideal for roof work due to their grip. A key feature is their laceless speed system, but their main disadvantage is limited durability for daily work.

it just ain't happening so um i'll get on to um i'll go away from boots a little bit i talked about three boots and we'll talk about shoes and so i wore shoes for a lot of years till i got crossed over to wearing boots so we're going to give you a little bit of my opinion about shoes now yeah so for about i don't know maybe 12 15 years i discovered these a long time ago and uh from rei and i would buy them by from rei and i literally have probably 12 pairs in brand new boxes in my closet because i like them so much and one of the major reasons why i like them so much is their laceless shoes right here because i couldn't stand tying laces and i still can't i'll stand tight laces because you're going in and out of customers houses all the time we don't wear our shoes in the houses so you're constantly taking your shoes on and off it's easy just to slip on these shoes they are a super light durable shoe they're gore-tex so they're waterproof so when you're cleaning your brushes and rollers and stuff your socks and feet aren't going to get wet if you're working in the winter time out in the snow they're not going to get wet they're super warm because they're gore-tex shoes they're ultra light shoes and because they're designed to actually be trail running shoes but the other thing is on roofs these things amazing traction these are the best traction shoes that i've ever worn on roofs and we've worked on some super steep roofs before um i do have to say they don't last very long i mean i would go that's why i had so many pairs of them but and i still have so many pairs because i now wear boots only and not tennis shoes you'll see me occasionally wear tennis shoes so i don't want to say i never do i wear them on certain occasions when i'm doing doing during doing certain things but um the they're solomon's made by solomon um i and it's kind of interesting because i used to ride solomon snowboards for years and they made the best snowboards for a long time but this is a great great shoe if you want an athletic shoe if you want to look professional neat they have all kinds of different colors and they have different styles in the same same trail running shoe and they have them where they're not gore-tex so they're a little bit cooler a little bit lighter in the summer time and breathe more but then once again they're not waterproof i really like the waterproof i absolutely love the speed lace system on these shoes um these i think they're you know anywhere from 90…
