    They make a good lightweight running shoe. The Adrenaline is one of a few models they have but they are known for comfort if you have a wide foot. I usually just get the all black ones. Some are downright ugly and look like someone threw up skittles on them.

    Well I go every night and home weekends. The best tennis shoe and most comfortable for me is the New Balance.

    I wear a 13 Wide, so Skechers are perfect for me! They’re also reasonably priced, so I don’t mind only getting six months out of them on the truck. I can’t wear any of the big name “cool” brands because they make so few, if any, shoes in wide widths.

    No sir, thats where you are wrong. Government issued Marine Corps boots are stamped with an Eagle, Globe and Anchor for a reason. Civilian issued boots of the same style DO NOT come with the Eagle Globe and Anchor. For the simple fact, your a civilain, you dont wear govt issued boots.

    Or just ignore the facts @x1Heavy.

    I brought in so many boxes with Port East of shoes going to reading or west PA via somerset. There is a little warehouse that took in a bazillion shoes from import overseas.

    The second month I seriously had a thought cross my mind half way to reading yet again. I had lost interest in hauling shoes. Is this what trucking is all about? I was not going to waste a lifetime running shoes.

    My brand of choice for years now has been Merrell. If your looking for more of a work boot, but something you can still wear all day and not have tired feet (assuming you don't have other issues), try Timberland. I've owned several pairs of the PRO Titan 6", kind of a hybrid between a work boot and tactical style.

    Rockports are my favorite but seem hard to find.

    I might look online next time I get shoes.

    Rockport makes the best walking shoe. Good for driving too. I loved New Balance, but they are making them cheaper and cheaper. Feels like a bubble on the sole now. Hard time with sensitivity on the pedals.

    Try the Walking Store. That’s where I get my work boots
