Yeah they cam in a Doc Martin box but they were different and were a poor quality. They could cripple a postie inside a week. Impossible to break in.

Re: CAT Trainers
I think thats the idea. With genuine DM's you can see the air pockets in the browish semi clear soles. The RM version had a black hard solid sole which did not flex very much.

Re: CAT Trainers
Just started wearing a new pair of CAT trainers and they are not agreeing with my feet - very sore, stabbing pain under my right foot - spoke to my dr yesterday about it and he thinks the pain is from the `metarasal head` of one of my toe joints - not had this problem with any other footwear

Re: CAT Trainers
The last pair of DM boots i got were not really suited to walking far too heavy they are the industrial ones instead of the normal DM's
DM's do a range of hiking type boots with better soles and cushioning they'd be much better suited to our job.

I was just looking at the DM's website and i think they're having a pop with this.
