    They were on sale and has air cushioned soles. When you are a diabetic you have to watch what you wear.

    saw some of this and have to put my 2 cents in. started in 96 and osha and the dot regulations were hard soled shoes..no flip-flops or sneakers that is why so ,many wear cowboy boats comfy and easy on&off. also it is still most companies policy against such foot were 20 years ago drivers got fired for it. as dressing don't look like a slop aka pj sweat pants crappy t-shirts. in fact I had a vp of a small trucking company tell me right out that he would hire me just because I don't look like aslop...js

    If the DOT blocks type 2 diabetes, there really will be a driver shortage.
