Boots?

I was just wondering about the requirement for boots.

I understand we wear boots for ankle support and for those who have toe caps for protection.

BUT

If i was feeling daring and fancied some sore toes would i be allowed to marshal in trainers? or would i be turned away when i signed on or made it to post?

i have seen people in trainers but they may change them once they get on post.

TIA

One of the problems with 'Trainers' is they are absorbent, do you fancy having petrol sloshing over your tootsies?

i suppose not, i always have both my boots and trainers with me anyway and i was just wondering if when i was suffering with sore knees i was allowed to switch to trainers

basically asking if they were rules or recommendations?

There are no rules, you just need to be aware of any safety issues resulting from your choice.

I've always worn hiking boots. Comfortable, supportive and waterproof. I've never had any need for steel toecaps, I just try to be careful where I put my feet!

I tend to split wearing boots and trainers. Tend to wear boots when I'm doing incident, trainers when mainly doing startline and whichever when doing pits.

In the heat the other week I wore trainers.
