I was wondering if anyone has a certain type of shoe they could recommend for Carpet Cleaning... I've been through everything but I have found something good to clean in.... Running shoes are nice and soft light on the feet but they don't hold up good againts the soap... Hiking shoes are a bit stronger, but still they fall apart... I just bought a 200 dollar pair of rock ports but they hurt me feet and back any ideas???? |

Mr. Steamer: We wear duckies, good ones not the $19.95 ones. They last quite awhile. I believe on eariler Juee Bishop movies he wore duckies. That is not why we wear them. I find them easy to get off when I am giving estimates etc.

I think gumboots are the only thing that would last LOL don't you wear booties??? shame shame. I buy new runners every 4-6 weeks so I don't tend to spend much on a single pair any more |

Steamer, The comfort you will have to work out. But I can think of nothing more impressive than a carpet cleaner wearing white deck shoes. Buy 12 pair if you have to keep them clean and keep impressing your customers. Some people just don't get it. I have a free shoe shine machine in my showroom for customers to use. A sign beside it says: YOU CAN'T CLEAN CARPETS WITH DIRTY SHOES! You would be surprised how many customers want to actually argue with me that they can clean a carpet with dirty shoes. What's dirty shoes got to do with it. Edited by Carpetologist |

Mr. Steamer: You are a steam cleaner? According to the dry cleaners you will need flippers.
