Keeping your feet covered is very important, especially since the skin on the feet easily absorbs chemicals. Always wear long socks and boots. The best material for boots is rubber. Unlined rubber boots will not absorb the chemicals or trap them against the skin. Boots should reach up to mid-calf or the knee.
Rubber shoes are the next best choice.
Removing pesticides from a pair of rubber boots or shoes is done by washing them with soap and water under a garden hose or outside in a sink. Rinse the boots thoroughly and stand them in the sun to dry. Alternatives to rubber boots or shoes provide less protection and present greater problems in decontamination. A possible alternative is a pair of canvas tennis shoes. They can be washed with the other clothing you wore to apply pesticides.
