I am by no means arguing with any of the responses, but I am just truly wondering.....
If there is no DOT law/regulation regarding footwear, then why, in NY state, have I been told by older tow truck operators to make sure I wear work boots because there is. Several have even told me that at an inspection/weigh in stop, a State Trooper, or whomever it is doing the inspection, has ticketed them for wearing sneakers instead of boots?
Is this just the "urban myth" that the OP referred to and these people were lying about receiving a ticket/citation?
