Most uniform does not require your lino to authorise, unless you exceed the allowance. You can do it yourself at...

Username is your payroll number, password is "Delivery" by default (which you can change if you wish)

I have ordered the Reebok trail shoes that someone posted a link to earlier. I have a friend that is a podiatrist and without checking (as she is far too busy at the moment) she has suggested I have Planter Fasciitis. I will go to the doctor this week and get checked because I am in agony at the moment, its like a shooting plain going through my heel. Shocking how Royal Mail can say they are appropriate footwear for the amount of walking we do.

Bought a couple pair of gelert shoes from Sports Direct have to say they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. Got collared about wearing my own shoes so I showed them my old magnum ones & they let me off. So I have ordered some new 'clown' shoes which hopefully will be an improvement on them because they have only lasted less than 3 months

Ive got a pair of the red clown shoes, to start with i thought they were great, light and felt supportive. However after wearing them for 2 weeks, i seem to have developed plantar fascticas, absolute agony after my first 2 loops every day.
Ive removed the standard insoles, these were the thinest insoles I have ever seen, and offer no support to the instep, and the inside of the shoe is as hard as concrete with no raised instep, no wonder my feet are now ruined. Who did Royal Mail get to test these shoes, Shergar...........
Ive since added some hard insoles i had moulded to my feet, and a pair of Gel insoles, an improvement but by no means a cure.
If anyone gets these clown shoes, get some decent insoles before wearing them. My DOM said Royal Mail supply orthodotic insoles "ask your line manager to order them", asked my lino, but he knew nothing about it. Someones lying........ to be continued......

Wear white trainers. You will be questioned and the manager WILL get you a new pair regardless of how long you worn RM footwear.

I've just been diagnosed with PF too along with Metatarsalgia. I'm in bloody agony!!!!! I went to see the DOM yesterday to ask if he could refer me to Occupational Health. He basically told me to look for another job as I wasn't up to it. I've got the union involved now. What a shower of s**t RM are.

I find standing on the IPS for hours hurts my feet far more than any amount of walking.
