I generally wear boots. But, as a lot of you have observed, that is not the way to go these days. So, deep breath, I am looking into flip flops. I am tired of the side eye I get from these new, hip, sensitive drivers when I am fueling wearing boots. So, flip flops it is. Any of you all no of some working man flip flops?

Now that said, who in their right #### mind would want to walk across a truck stop parking lot in that condition with anything less then fully enclosed at least 6" boots. And even then flip flops are great....right up until you run over your toes with a pallet jack with several thousand pounds on it. Bye bye toes. Or any other skin it hits or your ankles or heel.
Im with mack here. Only pigs wear flipflops. And yes i know the OP is being funny but flipflops are one of those things that peg a driver as a slovenly uncultured untrained uncaring pig 9 times out of 10, and the 1 time is usually a guy wearing a foot brace.MACK E-6, Sons Hero, TurkeyCreekJackJohnson and 4 others Thank this.
