what do you suggest as good footwear?

Wear a steel toed boot that covers the ankles. Slip on boots are more comfortable than those with laces.

 

My steel toed boots are in the truck and used when needed at customers. For general driving purposes use comfortable tennis shoes or something similar. I like my feet to breath so my "go to" shoe for everything but really wet or cold conditions are closed toe and closed heel shoes with plenty of ventilation, a low profile, rounded heel, and really good rubber soles (almost sticky like rock climbing shoes). They're great for driving, since they give me much better feel than boots do, and are very comfortable.

If a customer has requirements for steel toed footwear then I simply reach over and change into "costume" before arriving at the customer.

 

Unlike above.. I prefer laces simply because I can adjust how tight the boot is..

and I wear water proof durashock wolverines..

 

If I'm taking tools/supplies up the hill and I don't have to wear my work boots, I like Merrell Moabs. They're fairly soft and breathable and I can switch between them and the work boots because I can wear the same thickness of sock. The tread is pretty grippy on wet steps too.

If I'm on diesel detail and I'm in and out of the yard all day, I am required to keep my work boots on. I wear a pair of Men's Carhartt Hiker BAL Safety Toe Boots. My employer gave me a discount to buy them through work, so I was able to get a pair for $99. They're $169 at Murdoch's.

 

In the summer I wear sandles

they also make boots for ladies.

 

Try Duluth Trading For your workwear and slip on mocks. i usually wear merrell slip ons as they are American made but the buffalo mocks from Duluth are really comfortable and long wearing. Great quality. I prefer slipons for driving as they are easy to take off when you go into the sleeper. I found steel toed boots cut the top of my foot after a while and were very uncomfortable. just my two bits.
