    If money is no object:

    Never owned a pair but knew quite a few PNW flatbedders that swore by them. Supposed to last forever.
    Probably too much boots for the van/reefer drivers.

    Wow. Those look really nice, but I'd almost be afraid to get them dirty! Thanks for the suggestion

    I don't know man. Ask me in January when its freezing cold! ;)

    And flip-flops suck! I only wear them in the shower and thats it. I like my toes covered so I don't get stepped on!

    Nike sneakers are where its at!

    In the winter I'll usually sport Timberlands - cut at the ankle.
    In the other three seasons I'll often wear water-shoes. Something by Merrill or Keen. Light and breathable... and i don't look like a dumb-###.

    I wear slip ons year round. non insulated, waterproof boots are more than enough. I have several pairs of boots, none of which are cheap. I'm a hot natured person and I burn up in insulated boots. I still own a couple pair, but rarely wear them.

    unsure of your budget, but my daily boots are redwing waterproof, composite toe, non insulated slip ons. I think they were $260ish after tax. I have a pair of wolverine boots, same specs except no safety toe, that are surprisingly comfortable however i am unsure how long they would last at work. if you buy redwings look at the tag to see where they were made...

    whites are about the best you can buy. I have a pair of Matterhorn lace ups that are indestructible, but very heavy and hot.

    Thanks. I'm not sure of my budget either.

    I do like my current pair of RedWings and may buy another pair without the zipper sides for the winter. I need to find a store and go look at some I guess but I still have a couple months yet.
