Nearly slipped up a couple more times and get the feeling I'll be wearing my own shoes again tomorrow. They can tell me I shouldn't if they want to, but they were happy enough with my wearing my own for two months.
My only problem with my own shoes were that I was walking through a pair of air walk every two weeks. Loving the magnums though.

I got through a cheapie pair in about 3 weeks, though I was still wearing them after 8 weeks!! I just went with what the manager said he'd order as everyone was saying the CATs would be the best, wish I'd tried the Magnums now!
