What type of Shoes?

I've always been fond of these...

 

Wear what's comfortable for you, they're your feet. Personally, I wear a nice Reebok leather walking shoe. Never been kicked off a dock, or out of a yard for them. They're comfortable, look good, non slip, etc.
I agree on the steel toes in extreme climate conditions. When those steel toes get cold, THEY STAY COLD! And I find it annoying to drive in steel toe'd shoes.

But that's my opinion....

 

When I was OTR, I wore a pair of comfy tennis shoes for extended periods of driving.
When I went into customers and did anything around the truck, I switched to a pair of quality steel-toed boots with non-slip soles and good traction.
I also bought a cheap set of tennis shoes from Wal-Mart that I called "truckstop shoes" which I only wore around truckstops, fuel islands, repair bays, etc.
Reason being is that they would get soaked with oil and diesel fuel and all kinds of other nasty stuff and I didn't want to track all that inside my truck.

 

no....It may have been my cousin, we are a bunch of flip flop wearing fools.

 

I know...and you make a valid, logical, and good point, sometimes I'm just lazy. nobody should ever listen to any advice I have about shoes, and/or clothing.

 

i use regular work boots because of the added ankle protection. they also help when you have to kick a stubborn roll-up door. once you have something fall on your foot or your ankle you'll be glad you had boots. also helps in cold weather. lucky i had my boots on one summer when a #### schnouzer came darting out from someone's backyard and bee lined right for my ankle... he bit my ankle but didn't penetrate and i didn't feel a thing .... those #### snouzers are aggressive !

 

Depends on how fat you are.

Some people can't bend over to tie laces.

 

Carolina 4X4 HIKERS Mudguard STEEL TOE of sterling leather will be good for you you. It is really comfortable to wear.

 

I have a pair of nike athletic type shoe, a few pairs of converse, one pair of dc skate shoes that i wear most of the time, and red wings steel toe boots. I have flip flops too but for shower only. The only ones that I haven't worn yet are my boots, but i have them just in case.
