First year out it was work boots. I eventually got disgusted with all the stuff I kept tracking into my “home”.
After tracking a large amount of dog crap into my truck one day, I knew I had to make a change.
I won’t stoop to wearing flip flops, but I now use a pair of laceless shoes that can easily be slipped on and off. They never make past the entryway of my door, and I drive barefoot.
I also keep a small broom and a bottle of Lysol behind the drivers seat to keep clean the floor Incase any particles get tracked in.
I still feel sloppy sometimes with those slip on shoes when walking into a receiver. However it is a trade off I have made because it is too impractical to wear laced shoes and keep the truck clean when having to get in and out of the truck at a stop.D.Tibbitt, Flat Earth Trucker, 12 ga and 1 other person Thank this. -
Shower shoes everywhere.

Work boots, preferably without any type of toe guard. Sketchers has a very nice selection of work boots.
Even if you don’t like wearing work boots, carry some with you in case they won’t let you into a shipper/receiver or inside the dock. Some mega companies have certain requirements for footwear.truckdriver31, D.Tibbitt, Flat Earth Trucker and 1 other person Thank this.
