    Wondering how some of you veteran drivers deal with mud on your boots when parking on a dirt lot? Shoe covers, something else, nothing? Thanks in advance.

    I usually use a particular blade on my pocket knife to scrape off the sides of the soles, and the heavy stuff off the bottom. I have a brush on the drivers step to get the little stuff….

    No gross boots inside, they come off and go into a plastic bin.

    Why bother cleaning your Boots? I KNOW what a waste of time it is to do such since DRIVING is the agreement made when one became a DRIVER.

    Just buy the cheapest you can find at Squal-Mart or some rat encrusted online vendor-broker (who speeka lettil inglis) and buy 6 pairs
    (not-the-plastisteel-explode-a-toe) and when them wearin' boots get all gooed/muddied up, just get a new pair off of the passenger door floor and toss the mucked up ones, or sell 'em to someone in the parking lot.
    Now if'n you're driving in Mud and Mucky stuff every day or night, then the "cleaning" suggestions of earlier posts are important. ;):cool::rolleyes:
     
    The Railsplitter Thanks this.

    Stomp on the snow or look for a small puddle to step in.
