Rocky TMC Men's 6" Plain Toe Chukka 110660

I carried mail for 8 years and when I first switched to these shoes after wearing New Balance referee hightops, the first few loops in the morning I would ALWAYS catch my toe and trip on stairs because the sole is so deep. Was a rough way to wake up. On the street I'd have to give them a 5/10 because it was hard to feel tactile awareness of your walking surface. Even though I wore 2 pair out, after the $100 reality of the first pair, I found I could get 2 pair of good, supportive, hi-top court shoes at Kohl's that had the "walking surface connection" feel I preferred for the same cash. The second pair I snagged with my last bit of carrier allowance before I went into maintenance, and they stayed in my closet for a year before I dug them out and started wearing them, again catching my toe, this time on polished concrete floors. I won't part with another Franklin for these again. "Relatively" comfortable >> clodhoppers <<.

Depending on the day and overtime I walk about 12 miles a day and these have been the best shoes I have found for me. Walking that much everyday will wear out a pair of shoes, I've found having multiple pair and wearing a differnt pair every day and keeping them polished helps to make them last longer.

In my 15 years as a letter carrier, I have worn this particular style for over 10 years and have found it the best pair of work boots. I usually buy 2 pair at a time and rotate them. They are pretty comfortable and seem to provide pretty good protection in wet weather. I will continue to buy these for as long as they offer them.

this shoe is one of the best shoe i have worn in my 15yrs. in the postal service.The comfort and durabilty it provides is second to none.

very comfortable shoe great in washington wet weather just wish they held up better have to get a new pair every 7 to 8 months lots of walking on my route
