    If you're planning on being in the truck for long periods of time, drive barefoot. It lets your feet breathe, is more comfortable, and lets you have much better control over the truck. Just put on some good-looking boots for when you get out to see the customer, or to go into the truckstop. Some customers require steel toes, especially if you pull a tanker or a flatbed.

    Non-slip oil-resistant rubber soles will help you keep your footing on the fuel islands, and in the parking lot when it gets icy in wintertime.

    Me personally, I wear steel-toe Red Wings for work, and Ariats for going out and for dress occasions. I've never had a pair of Justins last more than a year without falling apart. Your mileage may vary.

    @dave 26027 those redwings you had from years ago were great but they only make A COUPLE good boots now thats made in the USA so you got to watch it. they are not like the old school ones. and the breather holes under the arch is a great idea it lets those toes breathe......
