they do half sizes and i always wear half size up for work and they fit fine. As Rael says, they are not waterproof but other than that they are way better than any RM shoes I have had (lighter and a better grip).

Looking at the flowchart for claiming and I notice they only have to have a CE mark if they're PPE, so are our shoes classed as PPE?

They are only £30. I did not think they would be up to much for the price but they have been brilliant. Lightweight and with good grip + the sole is only now showing signs of wear and tear after 4 months and are ready to be replaced.

I have to agree that these are pretty good, as for the raining season/winter I reccomend the Karimour Hot Route( also waterproof).

I wore RM shoes for six months tops.

Magnum are awful.

CAT - both boots and 'trainers' are just heavy footwear that just slows you down.

Get a pair of Nike Revolution 3. Light as it gets, not waterproof, but you'll dry.

Those are the ones I buy too although my last pair was a children's size 6.5 so a bit cheaper. Karrimor trainers are so comfy!

I haven't read the full thread (I don't think) but don't you buy the insoles from Boots. They're supposed to be fine...takes your pain away.

A pair of wooden clogs or bear feet would be better than the cheap shite Royal Mail supply you.
