He’s going to need an app for getting grass stains off his toes. I’ve mowed in sandals before. If you’re careful, it’s no problem, but it would take the better part of a week for the green to wear off my toes and then it was time to mow again.
Shoes really aren’t any protection from a rotary lawn mower. My husband had on work shoes (not steel toes) and cut the front part of his foot off. His foot slipped when trying to mow a steep drainage d itch type thing. Doc said sneakers would have held his foot together better, but steel toed shoes would have mangled things beyond repIr. As it was, they were able to reattach everything. Not quite good as new, but still there.

Sandals and power mower, a losing combo. How can you keep him on his toes when he doesn’t have any?

Somebody should make steel-toed sandals.

42Irish. It isn’t traction, it’s protection. Protect your feet and eyes when doing major yard work.
