i got both my trainers and boots last week, seems they have new stock now and are sending them out, the boots gave me a blister and a red sore ring on my left foot but could be because they are new, i have always had issues with boots anyway. The trainers i found a lot more comfortable.

A guy on the frame next to me moaned about the cat boots not being waterproof, the Docs are waterproof though. What will help is a coat of polish, it doesn't have to be military spit shine standards just a couple of coats a few times a week will keeps the leather waterproof :wink:

got hold of a pair of cat trainers when they first came out and now are like wearing a pair of slippers, any arch support they had has totally gone. the later batch look a bit different, be interested in comments on these. And they are all in standard WIDE fitting.

Had my trainers about three months, comfortable but definitely not waterproof.
Still awaiting the boots, or maybe someone's nicked them.

They were ok only slid occasionaly but they did not keep feet warm or dry, but they are very comfy.

How exactly did you manage to get trainers and boots? I thought we only got one pair every two year (unless you show the knackered ones to your DOM and he orders you some new ones).

Mate of mine had a wig made of cat hair. Trouble is, every time anyone patted his head, his back arched and his arse went up into the air...
