I am back working full time post retirement and need shoes to go with the new uniform. Help me out.
What worked super well for me in patrol were Rocky Alpha Oxfords. They had great arch support and I could haul around an outer vest full of gear plus a gun belt all day long.
My new gig is sport coat, tie, slacks plus body armor/pistol/mags/cuffs. A tad less weight but the Rocky Alpha oxfords look, well…..out of place. I tried my Allen Edmonds yesterday and immediately regretted it. No arch support and, while they looked a whole lot better than the Rockys, I can’t stand the pain.
So what say you LE guys as for something sharp, supportive, and comfortable? I’d like to stay below 500.00 per pair. Only black is allowed as far as color and there are times I’ll walk outside in rain.
Thanks in advance.
