Re: Footwear
I swear Nike downshifters. Royal Mail shoes are just way too heavy for me.

Re: Footwear
I wear new balance 410v7 trail running shoes. Great support and super light. Only when it's not raining though. Always have to have an argument about not wearing royal mail trainers but it's my feet and I know them better than royal mail

Re: Footwear
Just make sure you don’t have an accident on delivery because they will blame you for not wearing the correct footwear

Re: Footwear
At our office, management won't allow to wear our own footwear unless we supply a letter from a Doctor

Re: Footwear
I work indoors but have worn Skechers Grinnel for the past couple of years doing 15000 steps + daily.silver_fox wrote: ↑05 Mar 2022, 22:20What’s your go to footwear for this job?
Banderas are ok but a little stiff and take time to wear in
My personal Skechers are the most comfortable but maybe not hard wearing enough
Anyone got any recommendations?
At home I wear Skechers Escape Plan, the only "normal" trainers I have found with a decent sole, my current pair have lasted nearly 3 years.
I normally do at least 10000 steps a day over my 3 day weekend.
Both offer good support to the arches and cushioned insoles.

Re: Footwear
I wear light weight Sketchers in the office and change into RM shoes before i go out on delivery. Iam walking around 23-25k steps a day and it wears out shoes at an alarming rate. My current RM favs are the newer Magnams. They are heavy but quite comfy.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Footwear
Karrimor Surge WTX, great support for the foot, nicely priced and good when wet, unless it is heavy downpours and only wellies would do
Everything will be OK in the end, If it's not OK, then its not the end.

Re: Footwear
ignore the scaremongering about own footwear
if you get a very easily obtained doctors note then you qualify for the personal allowance
they may insist on you "spoiling" several pairs of clogs, just return any cacked in doggy doo dar
