Well, they'll be no good to me then as I walk about 10-12 miles per day on my delivery so if that's the result of five weeks of walking on your delivery doing 5 and a half miles......!

My DOM ordered the Anvils for me when I started with RM in April but they really hurt my feet, and made the front of my legs ache. I had to take them off half way through my walk and change into my own shoes on several occasions. I then ordered the YDS ones and I found those to be sooo comfy. I think it's because they are a bit wider. Shame really because I think the Anvils look nicer.
Fell in my anville for second time. That's two times in about three months I've fallen. Not on wet wood either which beforehand was all I ever fell on. Imo they are a lot worse than the cats, this time suffered cut knee and pulled two muscles as did the splits. Of course recorded as accident on delivery.
Is why I got doc line and now wear everything from vibram soled trespass boots to regatta hikers,RM shall pay towards from time to time but I decided I'll be safe and comfy rather than suffer anymore,.
I don't think there is much life left in my Anvil Tractions - already i'm starting to see the subsole on one edge Not even 6 months old, and I'm only doing 5 and a half miles a day on my hct round!

My YDS shoes were done after 10 weeks, that was with a lot of OT. When the front goes flat they get uncomfortable.

How about a cut and shut? I'll give you the fronts of my anvils, and I'll take the rear of your YDS?
I've had a look on the dimentions website, the size 13 anvils are sold out.... Will have to see what my lino says when I ask him, cap in hand, for a new pair of footwear!
How is it some people have a nicer streamlined version that actually resembles a trainer which has a reflective stripe on ther back heel and i end up with these f***ing clumsy anvil tugboats ? Do you have to request one or the other or is it a lottery ?
