I do some jobs where there is finished floor and have considered getting booties. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a certain brand ? Do you use them ?

I've done a few service calls and stuff in sandals. When I was commuting to a job an hour and a 1/2 away I would wear my sandals down, change in to work boots at the job, and then pull the boots off and drive back barefoot. It was great for my feet. I'm pumped its almost sandal season again. My poor feet are in rough shape after being trapped in boots for 4 months.

I ordered two pairs in 2016, both are still running strong and show no signs of needing replacement. The bottom part of them has a grip texture, similar in looks to a Rhino Liner bed spray.

I couldn't go back to those stupid disposable ones after owning these.

Those scare me. I would worry about it getting caught up or coming partially off when climbing a ladder.

It also seems like snow, mud, or water might fall/drip off the side edge of the boot onto the floor.

If you don't want to bend over, someone posted a cool automatic system in the other thread on this topic. You just push your foot in and the bootie wraps around it.

When your boots are covered in snow or rain water, I'm sure those blue booties work great. lol. Bring in a shipping blanket , throw it on the front porch outside the front door, wipe off your boots, kick the shoes on, and walk in. They are a strong selling point and always a conversation starter. As far as ladders go, they do get tight on the top two steps, but are fine beyond that
