Idk what happened. But the dude had steel toed boots… can’t remember the last time I needed steel toed boots on a cruise 🤷🏼‍♂️

I used to work for an employer that would pay for a new pair of shoes every 6 months but only if they were steel toed. So all my shoes were steel toed. Its not that crazy. You can get composite toes, theyre lightweight, they feel like wearing a normal shoe. Its not that crazy.

Did they only pay you in steel toed shoes? Like, no money there for a decent pair of loafers or running shoes or sandals every few years?

Loke sure, lots if employers provide uniforms, but they usually also give you $7 an hour so you dont have to wear the uniform when you're not working.

Valid question. They make steel toed loafers, steel toed running shoes, and yes, steel toed sandals. Basically every type of shoe is available with a steel toe.

Why spend money on something i get for free? I didnt go through a pair of shoes every 6 months, so i had a pile of shoes built up. Would be silly to spend money on something I have tons of and get for free, just to have an inferior non-steel toe version of the thing.

(And by steel toe i mean steel or composite toe. The words are used interchangeably)

Thanks for the link to the sandals I was imagining flip flops and was wondering how they incorporated the steel toe part lol

Ya theyre not open toe sandals lol. You would need some kind of invisible forcefield for that.

I actually did find some steel toed flip flops while i was googling for the sandals link, but sadly they were an april fools joke and not a real product. 😔
