an absolute *ing disgrace of a human being.
Google model number, and then look at the specifications. As long as you see safety toe, and slip resistant, you should be good. They should cover the ankle as well, hence the term work boots. Once you’re in for a year or two nobody’s gonna give a damn you can come in wearing hot pink stilettos

If you wear jeans I’m pretty sure you can get away with not having the height, but shorts and it’s obvious so I just depends a if you wear jeans I’m pretty sure you can get away with not having the height, but shorts and it’s obvious so it’s just depends if they’re picky about it at your building/shift
It has happened though, package handlers being sent home for it has happened though, package handlers being sent home for inappropriate footwear even though they had years of seniority.

They cover them both but don't cover ankle. Is that an issue?

If you ever twist an ankle it will definitely become an issue ..we had some one twist an ankle and they were wearing low cut boots ..next thing you know the center manager requires everyone to have ankle support boots or get written up

Sneakers are fine but some sups are clowns.

You are trying to get the job. Buy some boots and wear them till you pass probation then where whatever you want.

I know the supes at our center have been sending people home for wearing sneakers to work. But the truth is, you really should be wearing protective shoes being you will handle far more volume than a driver. If you end up in unload, youll be moving anywhere from 5000-8000 packages a day per team. Lots of irregs that weigh over 70lbs. The potential to drop one of those 8000 packages on your toes is extremely high. My first week in unload I dropped a 6" box full of steel bolts on my ankle that turned the entire bottom of my foot black. Not sure what I ruptured but I didnt tell anyone cause I didnt want them to think I was accident prone and disqualify me lol. Hurt like friggin heck though and my ankle was swollen for three weeks straight. Had to fight to put my shoes on.
