Comfortable [warm] primarily incab boots for driving and fueling trip inspections only

I have a pair of Ortho Feet boots. Indeed, they’re amazingly comfortable. Their insole is garbage, because they’re thin and shift forward, rolling up into the toe box. Change that out and you’re set. Don’t be worried about online, as they offer hassle-free exchanges. There were 3 of us wearing their boots at a wholesaler I used to work at.

 

High quality insoles are cheap anyway, so change them out. I had to do that with some walking shoes and some dress shoes. No problems at all now.

 

I drove my first years carrying work boots and driving in tennis shoes, back when all trucks were manual. I discovered have a flat sole and using a clutch, when the sole got wet, wasn' a good idea. My foot could easily slip off the clutch and I could power into someone ahead of my if stopped in traffic.

I later found Cintas, the uniform people, had a low-rise "work boot" that was essentially a tennis or workout shoe with a knobby sole and a small heel like a work boot, they even had steel/composite toe versions. It was like wearing a boot in that the sole was think and sturdy s walking on gravel wasn't a problem, but the boot stopped at the ankle like a tennis shoe so your foot was not hindered in pointing your toe down or up or side to side, etc. Those were called the Cintas AirDisc II but they are discontinued.

I now usually have steel toed boots available for work, not it trucking now, and use Nike Air Monarch shoes which have no toe protection but they have sturdy soles.

I wear the 40 dollar black or brown high top brahma or interceptor steel toe boots from Walmart,
year round, all day, and that's all I own or wear, even on vacation, even when golfing.

Can they be washed in the shower?
Yeah, I'm a cheapskate when buying boots, shoes, clothes for myself.

 

I guess I’m really an old school driver?
I still wear either a pair of Justin or Tony Lama cowboy boots.
(We didn’t have a problem with your foot slipping off the clutch pedal).

 

Yup. The outside, anyway.
