Thinking about getting into casual tree climbing and I was wondering if there was any kind of proper footwear for it. If I search Google all that comes up is lumberjack shit.

Is there a professional tree climbing league or something?

There are plenty of professional tree climbers, they're called arborists. They wear steel-toed boots.

a lot of arborists use lifts and all of them use harnesses so they don't really need to be good at climbing trees do they?

alright,
in 3rd world countries where they can't afford lifts and arbor gear they just send some teen in flip-flops to shimmy up a tree.

no special shoe is going to make you better than a scrawny sea-monkey orphan. just work on technique.

I guess I said casual because when I tried looking it up it seemed like there were people that were really into it. I dunno

When I was a kid I climb a pine tree a good 40 - 60 ft tall. There is a picture around somewhere taken from the bottom where you can just see the small dot of my face at the top of the tree. No way I could climb that tall as an adult. The branches at the top were not big at all.
No you don't need any special shoes. Tennis shoes are fine.

Most of us wear mountaineering hybrid boots these days like asolo or salewa. Only the real old-school fucks wear steel toe logger boots.

I like to wear hi tops for the ankle protection, but anything that allows your feet to articulate is fine.

With all due respect, I think it's more plane trees, the photo was taken in the south of France where the roads are lined with them (Napoleon had them planted so that the roads are always shaded)

I have been getting into tree climbing. I just bought a harness and some rope to use. I'm gonna use the two tether method. Sticks are fucking gay.

Yes there are "tree climbing specific boots" But any "mountaineering boot" will do. You are overthinking climbing some trees. Just get a harness and some rope and have at. Watch some arborist climbing technique videos on how to set up the ropes and wear any boots you have.

Arborist here.
There are tree climbing boots but they’re expensive and only larpers wear them
There are two options
>logging boots are very convenient if you’re wearing spikes for 4 hours (but you’re not wearing spikes)
>hiking boots, doesn’t matter
