Brocky Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Bob, For shoes, check with the city/county/state police to see where they get theirs.. We have a store here in the Greenville SC area which specializes it construction work wear and they stock a lot of apparel for the police and EMT people. A few years ago I bought a pair of police issue permanent shine black oxfords from them. And I wear a size 14D so not easy to find!!

tjc transport Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Check out Redwing shoes also. They are the best I have found since Knapp was bought out and then closed. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mowerman Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thanks for your input fellas I will check them out and yes that’s pretty much what they are are police shoes my company requires us to wear black shoes that’s most of the problem I can’t just go anywhere and I also have foot issues with sweat 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/22/#findComment-501857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Yes I also looked up Knapp as well as Tom McCann both Sears and roebucks are the other two and walk out with the shoes now most everything has to be ordered I also used to wear the same style years ago when I was working in a gulf full service station But for quite a while I was buying them at Sears they were called sears diehard fabulous luck with them then they disappeared comfortable good looking good price though I got discontinued Just tried red wing no luck same shit haven’t get my size Now I’ll try the other one Thanks again for your input I’m thinking now I don’t have any choice but to go to black skater shoes Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/22/#findComment-501887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 OK I finally found them through Kohl’s their dockers I remember of the style very common believe it or not Los Angeles city bus drivers were wearing them in the 80s mostly black guys they’re gorgeous and yes I am sure the man bun would fit the red Sneakers 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/22/#findComment-501923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I have worn brown Reebok walk ultra dmx max shoes for decades and now I can only find them in white, white with blue stripes, and black but no brown. the brown color was great because the shoes would start out as nice shoes, then office shoes, then field shoes, then shop shoes and finally shoes for yard work. I would literally wear them until the seams split. The store managers tell me that it is not a sales issue since the brown ones sold better than the black or white but they have not gotten any shipments in a year 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/22/#findComment-501943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
