Caterpillar trainers
I have had two pairs of Caterpillar trainsers each lasting about 6 months. Both times I put them on, went out on my round and they were soooo comfortable. I have terrible problems with my feet and have to wear orthotics (suppled by the hospital) so I was so pleased that at last I could wear Royal Mail shoes rather than buying my own. I cannot wear Magnums or Dr Martens as they are not flexible enough. As my Cats were wearing thin, I ordered another pair. I put them on and went out on my round as usual. I lasted about 1/2 hour and I was in agony. I think that due to everyone complaining that the Cats wear out too quickly the manufacturers have replaced the sole with a more rigid, harder wearing version. Now I'm back to square one with no shoes to wear except my very worn out pair.
