Boots for driving.

Whatever is comfortable on your feet. If you plan on wearing the same boot when you get out of the truck, it'll also have to be appropriate for the customer locations you are visiting.

 

I wear a $50 pair of Brahma slip on boots form walmart. their comfortable after you break them in and they make driving easier for me since they fit snug like my sneakers. Also their steal toe, which some customers ive been too, mostly paper mills, require steel toe boots when on the dock (I like to watch how they load my trailer, for weight distribution estimates)

 

For driving, mocassins. Easy on, easy off. Comfortable for walking around. I used to slip them off and leave them in the footwell -- no outside footwear between the seats or in the sleeper. Kept things cleaner.

Red wings are a good name in boots, pretty much wear what you want unless your required to wear a hard toe.

 

I wear 160 dollar ostrich boots levis n nice shirts with a black stetson hat when I hit the 1k plus runs when I get to da drop I switch to the steel toes n ragz clothes keep em on until I get my reload then take a shower n put the ostrich boots back on I feel better about myself image n my truck is always shinin! If you want to be wearing the steelz all day then I recommend wolverine boots best of the best them walmat dookies make your feet smell purrty bad.

 

Try getting one that says non slip like how timberland has safegrip or doc marten has non slip.

I had bought a pair of work shoes that did not have a non slip rating and they are useless on water, ice, snow, oil etc.

Just got some doc martens and the non slip is very good, now they are not as water proof or as warm as my old timberlands. The top of the shoe is nothing but a thin leather or whatever but will wear em out for a while.

 

I do the same, i put on my black wranglers, black dress shirt and black stetson hat whne i have long runs. Ain't nothin wrong at all about a person who takes pride in their ride and the way they present themselves

 

Hell yea that's wuz up I thought I was the only one doin that...I'v found females makin fire conversations with me after I started dressin like this on the road...makes my trips much more interesting.

 

Red wings. Oil them once a month, don't let them get sweaty and have them resoled just before they need it. My new pair is just under two years old- they replaced the boots I've been wearing since '97.

If you have two or three rivets (shoelace eyelets) installed under the arch of your foot on each boot, it really reduces the moisture buildup in the toes.

Good boots last for years.
