Which are the best walking shoes to wear on delivery?

Post by emmaa_uk »

I have ordered some walking shoes from royal mail uniforms but they still havent turned up even though I was told they were in stock.
Also ordered an xs in the fleece but sent me small 3 times in a row but thats another story!
Anyway, I am being forced to buy my own shoes but dont want to pay over the odds because my other trainers do get really dirty from the bike.
What do other posties wear and which is the most comfortable?
many thanks
