An adjuster is expected to follow a dress code almost every time. Although the exact code will vary from one company to another, you can expect to wear a sharp polo shirt and khakis. Jeans are not appropriate and tee-shirts for field work are too casual.

A professional appearance is important.

Another consideration is the choice of footwear that can be adjusted. Shoes with good traction are a must if you plan to spend time on roofs. You don't want to slip off steeply pitched roofs so leave your penny loafers at home. Cougar Paws are specially made boots with felt-like material attached to the bottoms. They were designed with roof walking in view.

Remember that independent adjusters spend a lot of time on their feet so comfort and traction should be a priority.
