Dr Martens are back!

[Stormproof]

I think I'll phone up for the CAT's on Monday they look comfy. Docs can take a while to wear in and you need plenty of dubbing to soften them up.

Think I'll just stick with my Nike trainers, much more comfortable.

Every piece of uniform has to be ordered through the manager in my office.

sod shoes,jackets.according to the twat in todays courier the fleece can be worn all year.someone tell bob harris the definition of fleece is 'a fabric with a soft, silky pile, used for warmth' .i don't need as much warmth in summer.
ever felt you've been fleeced? 'to deprive of money or belongings by fraud, hoax, or the like; swindle'

Thanks for the heads up

but after reading the courier i might stick with the magnums if they are good enough for the SAS
i have this vision of the SAS swinging into a building then slipping over on a steel floor panel

is everything they write in the courier crap?

They're not the same boots. They're the same manufacturer. But we get the cheapest ones they make. You get what you pay for.

tip for making boots more comfy before use ---fill sink with boiling water, put boots in with peg forced in side boots sideways , when cool repeat process, soften and stretches leather no blisters etc - cheers mrs beeton.

I do it slightly differently I stuff them full of newspaper and let them cool and dry naturally - see the courier does have a use.

In the courier it says the doc's should last for a year at an average 500 miles . isn't that 2 miles a day ? i want that walk

So is that the same for the Magnums because that's only about 2 months on my duty

Can anyone confirm that the new footware is in stock and ready to order?, couldn't get through to uniform this afternoon. better be available in 1/2 sizes.

Recieved mine today. Cat shoes and cat boots only ordered them on wednesday. Your allowed 1 pair per year

Most people work about 42 weeks a year, so two miles a day seems a bit of an underestimation really, when at your interview they tell you most walk around 8km or 6 miles a day !!!, perhaps they are talking country miles

Providing you have not had either(shoes or boots) within the last 12 months, then yes. Otherwise youll need your managers authorisation.
