I ordered a pair of the easy flex ones and they were awful. I wonder who trials these things!

Having looked on the website recently I have noticed they have disappeared from selection

It what way were they awful ? Surely they can't be any worse than the magnums can they ?
The new shoes haven't be removed they have no stock due to demand new stock end of month when I rang them

They normally keep them on site when out if stock.

But they have very thin soles with very little support. You can feel every little bump in a pavement or every stone. Really hard under foot too unlike the yds and cats before them which had a bit of bounce in them.

Okay thanks for the response I have had to wear my own for the time being, the magnums are ok but the soles just wear away in no time, 8 weeks they have lasted me this time round

I use Sketchers, very light with memory foam and since I've been using them the heel pain and achiles problem has gone plus if you get a doctors note stating that the RM footwear is crap you get £30 back

Do you get £30 back for every pair you buy or is there a limit to how many pairs you can claim in a year? And how easy is it to claim back because trying to get shoes from them is a nightmare

Getting in to a doctor's these days is a right pain the bum. 3 weeks to get an appointment & they are always early door appointments when I'm at work

How does it work with a Doctors note? Does it have to actually diagnose a specific ailment? Or will a doc provide a note if you just go in and explain your feet hurt in RM supplied footwear and you prefer to wear your own?

nobody needs a doctor to know the footwear is absolute garbage
