Best Answer

The sole of a slip resistant shoe is softer than the sole of a normal shoe. This soft sole grips the microscopic roughness of a floor better than a normal shoe. Also, the tread is normally a grid, so that water, oil, etc. doesn't get stuck underneath the shoe, preventing traction.

What are the requirements of the UPS appearance guidelines?

You have to be well groomed, meaning you have to shave your beard. For some reason mustaches are ok. Your uniform must be clean and well pressed. The uniform consists of "Browns" meaning: brown shorts (brown pants are acceptable), socks, shoes with slip resistant soles, and brown button down UPS shirt. You can also wear a UPS hat but I believe this is optional. This is all for the UPS driver.
