I swear by the magnum shoes,the only footwear I've been issued with that you can wear from the off and there really comfortable.They last me about 4 months before the treads gone,but I've never had a problem getting re issues.

I've just got a pair of Magnum shoes. Wore them for the first time today.....no blisters. I'm still a bit wary of them after slipping over in them before but these new ones seem to be ok. I was going to order CAT trainers but they did'nt have any and also they wear out very quickly. I've got CAT boots for the winter but only wore them a couple of times because they tore my feet to bits, same with DM shoes.

Ive got the Cats, look ok and they're pretty solid, but I found them quite uncomfortable and no good in the rain.

At the moment im wearing a pair of my own running shoes, nice and light for the summer. Will probably go back to a pair of magnums when the temperature starts dropping.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
