For climbing on spurs, Viberg lineman boots. Expensive but worth it and rebuildable.

You may want to consider getting some aluminum caps for the top of your spurs. Holds the shanks in place better. Or velcro wraps.

If you're climbing spurless, opinions are much more varied. I like a light hiking boot. More flexible.

16" Lineman boots when it's cooler weather, Wolverine WO-2625 boots when it's warmer weather.

The Wolverines are about $120 USD most of the time... very cheap for something that works so well. I've had good luck with them, great if you're on a budget.
If you've got the money, then the ArborTec Scafell Lite boots would be my first choice for climbing both with and without spurs.

Forget the boots and get some new pads first. Those look painful. I wear Kenetrek boots. The hiker model. You can send them in to get repaired and are very durable.
