Great review! Thanks man!!

*Very* well done. Thank you Thank you. I'm just a homeowner that needs to clean my gutters at a vacation house, and I have to be at work on Monday. I can't be in the ER. Also a big Thank you to you pros that have commented. I watched the ads as my Thank you.

@GoodContractorsRoofingOwner 4 года назад

One thing about cougar paws that I love, and that is “the show“. Everything a professional has should be 100% above what a homeowner has in their closet or garage since a professional should be showing yourself as a professional. People always comment on my cougar paws and I’m happy to show them off. People always comment on my telescopic ladder and I’m happy to show it off. Pros should have “unique” equipment particular to your profession. IMO. Thanks.

I think safety and comfortability is more important than if my shoes look like worker boots or not haha.

If you go on top of a high-pitched roof with loose granules, it doesn't matter what shoe you wear - you're going down. Use a proper safety rope and harness system.

@GrandRoofingInc 6 лет назад

I've been using cougar Paws for about 7 years now, only on steep stuff when I want a little extra safety. I love them and would recommend them.

@daveholcomb3419 2 года назад

I've been Roofing 24 yrs, never owned a pair of Cougar Paws. My personal opinion, and mine only, little to much money. Also I think they should make them in a low top, or a mid shoe or boot. But personally I've found that any type of basketball, or skateboarding shoe are the best. Once again this is just my opinion. I think they are the best because the soles are flat, and when you step or walk on Roofs , every part of that sole is touching the roof so you dnt slip or slide off. Also I can go to the local Walmart and buy a pair of mid And 1 basketball shoes for around 15 bucks and can walk just about any roof with in reason. I am also only 5'8 -5'9. That also helps out a bit. Being a shorter guy. I have noticed depending on the pitch some taller guys have little more trouble. Good review though man. Dave Holcomb, my companies name is Gunz-N-Hozez Roofing. Let me no what ya think.

@William-Bill-Munny 3 года назад

My father slipped off a 2 story roof and broke his back. I am now washing roofs - cougar paws are worth the price to keep myself secure and furthering my career without risk - for the price of $154 bucks and some safety equipment I can improve my odds as an owner operator.

@openyoureyes1481 3 года назад

I got a set of orthotics made with a heel cup. Keeps my foot moving around in my shoe. You can put the Orthotics in any shoes. Any shoe is totally comfortable. And anytime I do A steep roof I put new shoes on.

@KeepitcleanOC 2 года назад

I started gutter cleaning a couple months ago, have been using cougar paws. Frankly I am shocked at the awful quality. The lacing rivets are rusted, one of the speed lace rivets disappeared, the yellow stitching (very important keeps boot to sole!) is already very frayed, and in a good rain storm they turn into ridiculous lead weights. I am shocked at the poor quality and left message with their customer service. This just after a couple months and didn't wear on 100% of roofs and I do 3 per day max. And now I soon have to buy $80 replacement pads. That said, I would rather have them on with steep pitch but damn do they need some upgrades! Especially for the money you spend!!!

From the Great Northwest public Duck Blind I've been Roofing a long time one of my first things I was taught was the couch cushion this was back in the days when we were hand nailing using staple guns and the Stanco dealer would pull in and give you a soda and replace your driver in your PW handgun for free those really good days here in the northwest where it rains the boots I wear are xtratuf neoprene boots keeps your feet dry as keeps you on the roof now in the summertime we just cut those down or fold them come winter get a brand new pair stay safe out there God bless from the northwest where we get wet

@diedfrombored5295 2 года назад

Came here after getting up on my first customer’s roof with my team leader, the pitch was a 7 I believe he said and my shoes were slipping, the roof was over 100 degrees and I was 10 feet off the ground, I could have gotten seriously injured because of the shoes I was wearing but I didn’t know it made a difference. I ended up getting heat blisters on my hands from holding the hot roof to keep myself from sliding off and falling. LESSON LEARNED - NEVER GO ON A ROOF WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND PROPER ROOFING SHOES. Especially in Texas where roofs are probably 140 degrees.

@tunnelportterror 7 месяцев назад

the reason the Reebok Crossfit did so well, its worn and flatter.

@renurenovationsllc7780 6 лет назад

I have found the cougar paws make me more money. Capping off or finishing up shingling on those warm afternoons they are soft on the shingles. Also make the strap tight but dont use the top hook or make the laces super tight.

@thetruthrover 4 года назад

Barracuda steel toes made by Georgia Boot is all i wear for the last 10 years. Shoes suck because granules get in there and rub your feet raw. I used to wear skateboarding shoes, and thought they were the best thing, until i learned that i was not correct.

@DeeplineStyle 3 года назад

I get on roofs with my normal adidas shoes, whenever I am questionable on a roof, always Cougar Paws. No other shoe could make you feel more secure.

@MeMe-pj3vz Год назад

Got to stick the the air force ones low tops. Have for the 15 years of roofing , they last forever an the harder heel is perfect for the 10x12s walkin no problem, no give in the sole but still comfortable on the feet an ankles . Also the lower profile/texture bottoms of soles are soft enough not to rake the shingles . Even when they wear down the grip improves more in my opinion an many others that ive come across is the roofing busines. Many jobs can be done in a pair of these for sure .

@chuck2998 Год назад

Flatter shoes certainly grip better, the grip change from running shoes to skate shoes was insane. I buy Etnies for the cooshy sidewalls but low flat base and high durability tire rubber bottoms

@christiansanchez5228 6 лет назад

Cross fit shoes work good on new roofs but when you're walking on an older roofer (doing an estimate or about to rip) the loose granules make you slip everywhere...cougar paws work just as good on old roofs and they do new..they cost 180, BUT talk to your supplier, they will work with you...I bought 5 pairs for 500 plus tax...went in with some of my guys and we all got them for 100 bucks each...good buy I feel...either way, stay safe guys and great video, thank you !

@Hustle_n_motivate44 2 года назад

I might even glue the cougar paw pad onto the bottom of my paws, is it just me but when I’m on a really steep roof the pad on my paws will start to come off if my feet are pointed straight down then if it comes completely off I start to slide because the bottom is just straight plastic . That’s the only thing I don’t like about my paws. I have to keep my feet sideways when going down a steep roof and I have a bummed ankle that starts hurting when I put too much pressure on it so I try to avoid using it too often

I may have to buy a new pair every 6-8 months but i feel safe and comfortable.

I've been roofing for twenty years now (what's wrong with me?). I found a low cut basketball shoe works best. They have the same style of sole as your CrossFit. Little groves for the granules to go into while providing great traction. However here in Canada, we require steel toes. We still wear sneakers, but at a risk of getting fined by inspectors. Great channel... Keep up the good work.

First of all if you want to do a test you should try a 10/12 pitch and why didn’t you include a skate shoe like DC or Airwalk? I’ve used cougar paws for over a decade and wear them on anything over 8/12 pitch. I must say with the cougar paws their original design is much more comfortable than their new design but, the new design looks much better but, we’re not wearing them for fashion, they’re for safety. I personally think cougar paws are the best option (with fresh pads) followed by a good skate shoe then maybe your Reebok cross trainers. I’d like to see this video re-done on a real 10/12 roof with the skate shoe added. Keep making videos

Funny I came across this. I’ve been trying some different ones. Had a pair of Metcons a few years ago, and they were incredible. Breatheable, lightweight, and good grip.

@Nmr1987_ 5 лет назад

Good review, and I agree with your final decision. I’m a home inspector and I’ve done over 1500 inspections. I recommend and swear by cougar paws to everybody I know. One of the things that you don’t address in your video is the replacement pads. When you wear through the sole, you don’t have to buy new shoes. The replacement soles only cost $20-$30 at a roof supply store. Since the economic value is a big part of your video, I’m surprised you didn’t mention this. I’m on my third set of pads, and I would’ve easily burned through hundreds of dollars of sport shoes had I gone that route instead.

@grassybeaner654 5 лет назад

The brand of the shoes dont matter I mean obviously it matters in quality and how long they are going to last you but as far as grip it's all about the sole of the shoe. Ive found that the softer and more spongier the sole the better. Nikes and Adidas have been coming out with great shoes for roofing lately. I own a pair of nikes a pair of Adidas and a pair of cougar paws. I haven't used the cougar paws in a while because I've found that the sneakers last me longer than the pads of the cougar paws. I'm a heave guy I'm about 240. And I would be lucky for a pair of cougar paws to last me 2 weeks where as the nikes and Adidas have been lasting me at least a month

Clearly, the Cougar Paw foam works great, BUT there is no reason to have a raised heel (creates more pitch as you walk down the roof) and they are WAY too stiff. You want a flexible sole that gives you move feel for the roof as you walk it. Also, with a flexible sole as you are walking up the pitch, your forefoot can maintain better contact w/ the roof as your heel lifts off for each step. I'm going to buy Cougar Paw foam replacements, and then glue some heavy duty velcro to the bottom of some minimalist shoes (like Altras) and then velcro the Cougar Paw foam to the bottom. I think it will be the best of both worlds.

How did gluing the pads work? I want to do the same.

Any update? Might be an option to glue the cougar paw pads onto the korkers add on/buckle on piece, over a good sneaker

I think I'll keep Cougar paws for safety, but grab the other shoes for a work day and hopping on a roof quick...nice everyday work shoes. But you get your value with the paws because you can change out the bottom after they wear out.

+mikesmoove06 thanks for feedback. Both options great in my opinion, every one will decide for themselves

chris omaga I’ve worked on lots of 8 and 10s with plenty of felt everywhere and even on tear offs and can say I feel much safer wearing them, I’ve been roofing since I was 13 and am now 18 and can say if you’re working on 8 and 10s and aren’t too confident, you should wear these
