    I agree. I wear work boots in the winter and in the summer I wear a safety sneaker, that has a composite safety toe.

    I get wanting to be comfortable and not get the side eye, but flip flops aren’t really the safest choice. Footwear isn’t usually restricted just for driving or fueling, but safety rules still matter. OSHA standards say you need protective shoes in areas where you could get hit by something, step on something sharp, or run into other hazards. That includes loading docks, maintenance spots, and warehouses.

    Even at the pump, it’s worth thinking about protection. There are some work-style sandals that have a closed toe and thicker sole, so you can stay casual without risking a smashed foot.

    Years ago Pennsylvania had a law requiring truck drivers to wear a shoe with a heel. I don’t know if the law still exists

    I think it was me.when I seen the original post rugged flip flops thought I click on it and c what it was about.Your post was the 1st one that came up I didn’t notice that yours was actually on I think the 2nd page and I didn’t get what a picture of a woman who you said wasn’t your wife so I assumed it must be a random picture.But I didn’t understand what it had to do with flip flops because I didn’t realize there were post b4 yours.my fault I do understand everybody has a story and everyone wants to tell there story so congratulations on being married 50 years.
