    Default what shoes do you choose ?

    Hi all

    Had the mick taken out of me today at the merchants for my choice of shoes

    I WEAR CROCS (those daft rubber things)

    they look well daft but i have to say very comfy and easy to clean

    anyhow am i the only croc wearing tiler out there or do you own a pair

    we all wore clogs out in spain so the crocs are an improvement

    ps i wear boots on site jobs and when ripping out a room H and S and all that.

    Trainers for general light tiling, but got some caterpillar steelies for any heavy lifting.
    I find that if I am kneeling alot the steelies cut off blood circulation to my toesies!

    After picking up a box of floor tiles by the nylon strap.........and the strap snapping, sending the tiles crunching onto my toes (breaking 2) I always wear steel toe capped boots.

    How I got to the bottom of the garden before yelling I'll never know.

    I had to carry on working for 2 weeks in agony
