I have heard of this happening and have never used a push mower without wearing heavy boots.
Not even heavy boots, even just regular shoes. I'm always surprised to hear that people are mowing the lawn in cheap plastic flip flops. I even wear long pants, because I don't want to get bitten or stung by anything, either.
Pet peeves - items that are appropriate for high school girls but not grown women.
clunky and cutesy canvas sneakers
knee length cargo pants with those side ties hanging
winter caps with huge pom-poms
pigtails
cutesy ballerina slippers with rounded toes
spaghetti strap tops
ankle chains
blue and green nail polish - a lot of people will disagree with this one but to me it's tacky. Why not let high school girls do their crazy colored nails and stop trying to copy them
Biggest pet peeve? The lack of 100% cotton jeans that actually fit a woman of a certain age.
Come to think of it, the lack of 100% cotton choices in a lot of apparel. Everyone is donning rubber this and that. No thanks.
My niece was mowing her yard, wearing flip flops, and slipped and now she is missing a few toes. So be careful!
My neighbor reached out to me a couple months ago and asked what proper safety gear he should have on to cut down a tree. I told him that safety is very subjective and he best not take any safety tips from me, lol. Safety is something I pretty much disregard 75% of the time, the other 25% are situations where I simply do not feel safe and therefore take the necessary precautions.
I hate flip flops for myself, but I know others love them, so I'm never going to win that battle. To me, I can't stand having something between my toes, and I don't know if it's how my feet are shaped or how I walk, but I find them so uncomfortable to walk in. I wear sandals, generally slides, flats, huaraches, often something with an ankle strap.
I absolutely cannot stand anything between my toes. It immediately makes me clench my feet and walk funny and usually trip. So I don't ever wear them. Olukai slides only when i want a non-shoe.
Unbelievable reading some of these "peeves" - good for you if you have pretty feet - let people be comfortable as long as they aren't wearing eye-boggling things. Not everyone has "pretty feet" but if they are willing to show their feet, more power to them. I mostly want people to wear clothing that fits (not several sizes to small, a belly hanging out, etc.)

Some don't mind the show of ugly feet and others don't mind the show of big bellies. To each her own...we're talking fashion peeves here.
Look, I am old and have ugly hands so I don't wear jewelry to call attention to them. Lots of old ladies don't agree and load themselves up with expensive bracelets and rings designed to catch the eye due to their obvious expense. Their choice, but I can have an opinion and my thought is that I want to look the best I can for my age and one way to do that is not to draw attention to my flaws.
On the subject of flip flops, i have several by Vionic which are very comfortable. I have a couple pair of Oofos which are extremely comfortable but I once did a face plant walking late at night when one caught on the edge of a raised corner of sidewalk. So I walk very slowly and carefully when wearing.

More power to anyone looking at mine.. they really are ugly..and I prefer to hide them..
Second person to ask this - it's a clothing MLM (multi-level marketing scheme) known for women's clothes with outrageous patterns. Also known for poor quality. I've seen a section of "dresses" in a local thrift store that I could instantly ID as Lularoe because of how ugly they are. The reps quite often get sick of the whole scheme and donate their entire inventory to thrift stores.
