Default FDX Shoes a covered uniform expense?

OK, I looked and looked. Cannot find anything on whether I can use my annual uniform allowance on a pair of shoes. I think you can but not sure. Anyone clear as mud on this?

The answer is yes. Just be able to justify it with the receipt that they are uniform type in case they question it. Years ago I heard a rumor of one of our finest expensing running shoes.

Under general info/ uniform policy and information
Shoes
The approved uniform shoe must be a black plain toe dress shoe or dress boot. Cowboy boots, tennis shoes, Doc Martens, and similar footwear are not approved for wear or reimbursement. Approved shoes are reimbursable under the uniform policy and pilots must submit a detailed, original receipt with an expense report.

There's a fine line between dress boots and Cowboy boots. My understanding is that cowboy boots have spurs on them.....

Here's the online definition

Noun 1. cowboy boot - a boot with a high arch and fancy stitching; worn by American cowboys

Therefore, if you are not an american cowboy, they aren't (by definition) cowboy boots

All depends upon if you're a real cowboy or not.
