[QUOTE="Osprey413, post: 584275, member: 24489"] Company policy for inside workers is sturdy leather uppers with a non slip sole. Color does not matter, but it's almost impossible to find a shoe with "sturdy leather uppers" that is not in black or brown. This eliminates tennis shoes, most dress shoes, and many hiking boots. We would check shoes to see if they had uppers made entirely out of leather, or if it was some kind of fabric. In most cases, if it was fabric you were sent home, with the exception of most "combat" boots. US contract also does not require steel toe for either drivers or inside employees. Drivers are required to wear black or brown shoe, but I can not remember if it has to be sturdy leather uppers as well. As far as the company furnishing shoes for employees, shoes are considered personal attire. If you were to apply that theory the company would also have to purchase all the insiders shirts, shorts, pants, etc. because we have guidelines on those as well (shirts must have sleeves, cant have baggy clothing, no holes, etc.).
