I got a pair of the Easyflex a couple of days ago and they are like wearing a pair of slippers. Best shoes the company has provided for years. Just a shame about the red colouring.

Trouble is will they last very long? The shoes always seem great for a month then start wearing out rapidly.

Don't think any expert in walking would advise buying a pair of slippers to walk 60 miles a week in. The soles are far too flexible and do little to support and look after your feet for long term health.

Are these sh*t looking trainers really going to make the slightest bit of difference walking 60 odd mile a week :left: hat about when it pisses down for 1/2 hr :crazy: wet sore feet and falling apart like every other pair of shoes I have ever worn in the last 10 yrs for RM and yes we will look like clowns :oops: :thumbdown
