Here’s some feedback on the shoes /soles. They worked awesome and thanks Ugly for the heads up. This roof was a 7/12 pitch (might not look that way in the pics but it is) and was 20 years old. I think we all know what it’s like walking a 20 year old asphalt shingle roof with a pitch over 5/12. (It’s like walking on a roof made of beach sand). I could have shot it all from the gutter line but I had to test out the new foot candy! As soon as I got off the ladder and on to the roof, I knew I was good to go. If I had my other shoes on, my sphincter would have been tightened up. This roof put them to the test and I personally give them the thumbs up. Here are some pics and trust me, it is much steeper than perceived in the pictures. Nothing against Cougar Paws but I’m sold on these suckers!

This is just my personal experience and I do not recommend dancing on anything 5/12 or under. wink

I have a pair of cougar paws for roofing installation but I couldn't wear them roof cleaning. They sure do grip great though.

On the topic of masking the smell of sh. I used the green apple at the end of the season last year and found I had to put alot more in my mix than what it called for, and I could still smell the sh a little bit. Thought about trying the fresh wash but its all expensive. Finding a new product would be great!!! Thanks Chris!

Larry, what vendor did you buy it from? If it was the one in Tampa, they got nailed for watering it down. Floromask (based in Jacksonville, FL) put them on their "black list" and won't let them sell it anymore. Xterior (out of N.C.) and South Side Equipment (out of Kentucky) carry it.

They are not comfortable IMO. They are great for roofing because when you roof you work in one spot for a couple minutes then move, rinse and repeat. If your walking roofs while cleaning them you are constantly moving around on some roofs, especially when they have tons of formers and roof lines. They are very awkward to wear, especially when first getting used to them. It feels like wearing ski boots, they grip very well but I only wear them when absolutely needed. On steep pitches. Just my opinion of course. The shoes the Uglies posted work great for general roof cleaning IMO.

Back up a moment gentlemen. I do not currently carry any fragrances. I'm doing the preliminaries...pricing, availability, mix ratios, etc. I'm bringing in a 5er of a couple of products for testing purposes. Please don't call looking for it yet.
