For some people, they'll be sent home for not wearing proper shoes.

The again, I saw a kid wearing shorts and basketball sneakers Friday. And see all kinds of improper footwear.

It seems to be a flavor of the day type thing.

Steel toe is not required. I believe it's what, maybe not at UPS, is called "saftey shoes" that is the standard...something sturdy-and if something strikes your foot, you're reasonably well protected.

Forget about steel toed shoes, drop something heavy on them & you could lose the toes.
Proper footwear with leather uppers are required, most of the time. It all depends on your sup & who sees what your wearing when.

Steel toed are not required but I would highly recomend you wear them they have saved my feet to many injuries to count. The stuff at UPS is not heavy enought to cut your toes off. But the policy something with a stiff leather upper so that you feet are protected also needs a non-slip sole on it.

I beg to differ. We had a guy lose the tip of his big toe when an extendo was lowered onto his foot. :biting: We call him "golden toe" because of the $$ UPS had to pay him for partial amputation. :wink2:
I hate steel toe boots. They are like wearing bricks.
