    Even if it was a cheese grater, when panic and adrenaline kicks in barefeet would turn to bloody stumps and you would still bend brake pedal steel stomping on it.

    200 years ago, even in America shoes or boots were not for everyone.
    People are spoiled.

    The one time I had to get on the brakes hard because a truck on the shoulder decided it needed the middle lane being barefoot did not hinder me from #### near pushing the brake pedal through the firewall and ripping the steering column out.

    Make Sweet Passionate Love to your significant other under the sheets.

    When your done turn on the light and whip the sheets off to head to the bathroom in your Neon Orange Crocker’s you’d been wearin

    See how that goes over

    DAA24237-F1F2-4E2A-A950-0191C83708D6.jpeg I bought these from Dunham’s when I first started driving and hauling off the farm.

    Super comfy , cheap and waterproof and easy to slide on and off and if your wearing jeans you look like a farmer.

    I liked them so much and they were so cheap I went back and nabbed 2 more pairs figuring they were cheap and would fail and didn’t want to be without.

    After 15 months I was still on the original pair I bought.

    I don't even feel comfortable driving barefoot in a car. Shoes are made to dissipate and distribute pressure. And if you have a bad wreck, you would more than likely lose a few toes.

    I work as a retail clerk for a major retail pharmacy chain. I am on my feet any where from 8 to 14 hours a day. Although, overtime was eliminated about 3 months ago.
    Therefore, it is essential that I have the absolute most comfortable pair of shoes possible. When I am driving in my car, these are excellent driving shoes, very comfortable.

    NOTE:
    If I could have passed a DOT physical, I would have liked to have gone to a truck driving school to learn how to drive a truck. I would liked to have gone to work for an OTR company driving all 48 states and Canada.

    Men's Dockers Trustee Shoes:
    Over the years of being on my feet, at most of my jobs, my shoe size actually increased from 9"B" to 10.5"D", (not a lie, not an exaggeration), along with not having flat feet, and still retaining an arch on both of my feet.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
