    Some companies require steel toe boots. If you wash your feet and wear clean socks and give your boots a shot of Lysol they will be fine.

    I don’t wear the adidas jailhouseflippers. 60 dollar leather rainbows get the job done here.

    Why not?

    I haul out of a farm.
    I wipe my flip flops on the brush on the step than step onto the plastic entry mat under the pedals and kick them off.
    No dirt or poop goes beyond the door entry.

    I drive a Western Star with a non hydraulic clutch and a pedal with anti slip teeth that most men would cry if they stepped on it.

    Been driving barefoot for 38 years. I’m a old Beach Bum from Florida

    Why all the hate

    My attire
    Tank top
    Camo or plaid cargo shorts
    And
    Flip flops

    Whatever you feel comfortable in
    As long as it doesn't break company policy
    And no
    I not advising anyone to drive naked

    What if your trailer caught on fire? What if you were in an accident and had to get out? How fast can you operate dressed like that? You aren't cruising the beach.

    I can do anything in my attire that you can do in whatever you wear
    I've been dressing this way for soooo long
    I do have the proper gear for those instances where I pick or deliver has dress codes

    Years and years ago
    The cooling system on my boom caught on fire
    On a sheet rock boom truck
    I would have handled it the same way wearing the aforementioned attire as I did wearing my denim jeans and steel toed boats

    I just wore slipons while driving. Shoes and boots when needed for customers.
    I used Dr. Scholls. Which they no longer make anymore. Now it's all that fancy crap that does absolutely nothing for foot oder and perspiration.
