polish-able black or brown leather.

Red wing postal approved. Mine are black polishable and very comfortable. I wear them year round only at ups.

polish-able black or brown leather.

Or brown leather. Those NB fit.

Sure look like brown leather to me.

And yeah I do get fitted.

When I say "fitted" the sales rep should have you walking around barefoot/just in socks while standing behind you, watching for pronation issues.


I see a lot of this at my hub (pic below) especially some of the boots drivers wear:

Unfortunate people don't understand the importance of properly fitted shoes.

I misunderstood "polish-able black or brown leather."

(black or brown polish-able leather)

that polish-able black or brown leather is integrad, they really don't care once your driving. i guess it depends what hub/center/concentration camp you're in. i'm interested in those new balance, how much are they?

 

[oldngray]

Polishable shoes is still a requirement for all drivers. It may be ignored in some areas (and usually is) but that rule does still apply if UPS wants to get picky.
