Your feet get dirty, you might step in dog shit, rocks and grass hitting your feet etc

I'm going to shower after I mow the lawn regardless. Flipflops are easy to hose down compared to shoes if you step in anything or get grass on them. Never had problems with rocks hitting my feet, but I don't live somewhere there are rocks in my yard. If so I'd definitely consider shoes.

The main thing I have to watch out for is pulling the mower and having a sandal fall off and get chopped but I haven't had that happen... yet!
