They sound too small or try see less socks.I have the yds and had to take the laces out and re thread them without using the bottom 2 or 3 holes so it made them wider and they've been fine since.

Never hear police moaning about their footwear, so why don't we use same supplier?

I think the Police have Magnums, which we do have the option of having. I have a pair of Magnums right now and they are the best I've had from RM so far

Actually when they fail to catch thieves running away they always blame their footwear, avoids awkward conversations about their 18Stone frames.

Plus how many policemen do you see walking the streets these days?

Now trying to break in a pair of YDS and so far they are the most uncomfortable and painful things I have ever put on my feet - still, I am sure they have saved RM a bit of money!

I haven't found the cat trainers to be available ever since the Anvil and YDS came in. The cat trainers were the best but you're right, they wore down far too quickly but oh my god how comfy! I still have several pairs which are so worn they let water in but I like them for doing messy work in the house and garden etc.

The only shoes I've found to fit me well enough and not cause me unbearable pain are the YDS but I've just recently obtained a doctors note to source my own footwear because I have corns, at the age of 25.

According to my manager you only get an allowance of £30. I haven't got a clue which shoes to go for, whatever I choose I'm going to be stuck with for 6 months because apparently you only get an allowance of twice a year too.

Can anyone suggest any good shoes for skinny and bony feet?

I've tried the YDS & Anvils (as others have said it is like wearing anvils on your feet). I've ended up with the Magnum shoes, best of a bad bunch. I'm now off sick with Arthritis in my big toe or a Bunion(just waiting on the xray results). I blame the footwear as I wear and have worn sensible shoes/boots for years outside of work. I will be making sure that RM pay for my own shoes/boots in future!

Bring back the CATS:
Cheap rubbish they are importing now from somewhere in Asia even the shirts I am normally a large opened up two from the package the other day they must have measured up Rick Waller for them, they were massive I could nearly share the shirt with my park & loop partner.
