Washing and wet shoes

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Does anyone wear rain boots while washing there car(s) to avoid getting wet shoes?

Or do you just tough it out and put up with a little dampness while you wash.....or, do you seriously try to avoid getting your shoes wet ....

I have a spare pair of sneakers that I only use to wash the car. they get soaked (and so do my feet). Then I just change into another pair when I`m done.

I have a really beat up pair of shoes that I wear. So I dont care if they get wet. If I am wearing nice shoes, I try to keep them dry through.



Recently ive been wearing sandals/flip flops

The wife bought me these last year for my birthday. They work pretty well. They are especially comfy when washing the car in the winter when the water starts getting pretty cold.

I just wear slippers, regular one-strap kind. Tank top and some shorts. Doesn`t matter if you get wet much.

I have an old pair of sneakers relegated wearing when washing cars, mowing the lawn, etc.



when the colder weather comes, I have an old pair of fireboots that I wear to keep my feet dry.

I`m a big fan of rugged sandles like this Teva pictured below. It`s secure, your feet is strapped in, and water drains out easily. Also, I make sure to never have anything metallic on my person so as not to scratch the car. No belts, buckles, metal buttons, etc. Sweatpants or drawstring pants/shorts will do just fine.

I`m tired of having soggy shoes for a day after washing a car so I am going to retire my current pair of running shoes to car wash duty pretty soon.

Patrick,



You and I think alike :D and in warm weather I wear cheapo rubber sandles

I have an old pair of shoes that I wear when I`m washing the car, or when I`m doing anything that would make my shoes dirty--fishing, kayaking, etc...

I use LL Bean duck boots but they are not very efficent in the winter so I am looking to get a pair of waterproof boots with Thinsulate

I have an old pair of running shoes that I use when I wash the car. But I still try to avoid getting my feet wet.
