Silly question perhaps but has anyone noticed that CAT shoes wear out quickly on inside of heels. As soon as this starts my socks become full of holes. Any suggestions?

become a driver :-) mind you then you would have the problem of the bum area of your trousers wearing out fast ;-) lol. Dr martins are the best and most comfortable footwear once you've broken them in.

No, you have that all wrong, its the outside of the heels that wear out quickly! :chuckle

I find the Cat trainers are great after the "bedding in" blisters, they are so leightweight, but I destroy heels in a few months. I tried the Cat boots last year and they almost left me crippled after a few days, literally felt like the toe joints were being crushed!

Dr Martens really are good but it takes ages to break them in, you have to wear em round the house for a couple of hours a night for a week while at home.

How do you get Dr Martens/Magnums? My only options seem to be Cat boots or trainers.
