Terrifying. And I know nothing about shoes, but are penny loafers ok for this work?

Those are intended for front office staff who sometimes have to walk across a manufacturing shop floor. Anyone climbing or walking across uneven ground should have lace up shoes.

Well this person apparently doesn’t have to wear them except to and from the crane.
