...one more week until school and I can't keep the questions out of my head!! lol

I would like to know what type of shoes you guys prefer when driving. It seems that with all the rev matching and feel necessary, sneakers may be the best choice.

Cowboy boots? Work boots?

I keep 2 pairs of boots in the truck. I have a pair of cowboy boots with slip resistent soles that I prefer. Pair of rocky steel toes as needed espically in snow. One thing to keep in mind. Appearance is crucisl when dealing with customers. Make sure you always look proffessional, it does make a difference

I wear steel toe boots most of the year and for the few hot months I wear a lighter cooler steel toe shoe. But I'm sure most like tennis shoes or slippers for driving judging by what I see in truck stops. But I prefer good quality work boots.

Companies may require certain types of boots, or have rules like "no open toed shoes" I am bringing 2 pairs of shoes with me. My awesome Red Wing boots- water resistant- steel toe- and oh so comfy- and a pair of tennis shoes to beat up on, wear on days off an such.

My last pair of boots were Red Wing, real comfortable. I will be getting a new pair before winter hits.

"Winter is Coming" I've busted out my boots and have been driving with them for 1 week now but before that I just wore running/casual shoes to drive with. Sometimes I rock flip flops if I end up South like Florida, Texas, etc... Make sure to have waterproof boots for Winter, it sucks chaining up and getting snow up all up that.

Lol! I can imagine you would only wear flip flops in the snow, once.
