I love my Altras, and as a mailman needed leather to conform to regulations (plus it’s warmer in the winter months when there’s no snow in Denver). Orleans Shoe Company is the only place I could find my size (13 wide)- not even through the Altra site. These shoes-like all Altras- are like slippers you can wear all day! For you Hoka lovers, just try ‘em! One note…I use Sole footbeds in all my shoes for support when walking my route(s).
