To Wear boots or not to wear boots, that is the question

[HardknocksUPSer]

Brown or polish able leather with a sturdy support, I personally wear casual shoes such as rockport or nunn bush. Very comfortable and have never had a word said. I did however catch grief when I wore workbooks with a slick sole.

They don't have to be polishable if you're an insider.

I wear Keen's with a composite toe in them, (due of course to gravity being a pain in the butt sometimes). They are brown, can't be polished, but comfy as hell.

No management at my building has said a word to me about them. On-car once asked if they were comfy, but that was it.

Works boots or you get the night off.

Promise? If so please call my hub. I will stop wearing my boots so I can get an extra vacation.

Boots for inside employees, hiking shoes for drivers (for the most part).

Why not get a combo shoe? Lol

I have under armor boots but a lot of our drivers wear the Nike Air Monarchs. They are all black and leather.

I love my Keen's.

As for polishable a turd can be polished, doesn't mean I'm going to, UPS doesn't say they have to BE polished, just polishable.

You require me to wear a certain type of item, you supply such item.

r, I was told by a PT Sup that I should have in boots

Sups are typically pretty...naive when it comes to both proper footwear and how your job should actually be done.

Go with a slip resistant and lightweight composite or steel safety toe work shoe. Heavier boots aren't so great for the kind of movement you'll be doing inside. Like dragging a boat anchor up and down the belt when you do it 1,000x a day.

I wear boots when I'm wearing pants in winter.

I love my Keen's.

Agreed, there comfortable as hell, but they're soles wear out really fast. I wish they were a tougher/more durable rubber.

Oh, and did you see what I did their?

Your probably right. There a lot of em out they're.

Just follow the rules and buy some durable work shoe !!

Be aware of your surroundings and a package won't fall on your foot

You telling me a 50lb box wouldn't up your foot with boots? Or you can't twist your ankle with boots on? Get out of here with your dumb logic

A sturdy boot can help save you from some injuries.especially the ankles. If you do this job long enough you will understand.

I've done this job long enough

Wear the right shoes/boots and you can survive this job. After 30 years your body takes a beating.
