Re: footwear payments
Some commas and a few fullstops wouldn't go amiss in your post, it's very difficult to read your post without them.
Anyway, RM have a wide choice (I know they don't in reality but they do in theory) of regulation footware so surely you can find one of them to suit.

Re: footwear payments
Can't Comment exactly on your Problem regarding payment for footware.
But what I do know RM now as of this week have serious issues with footware,I had new RM boots late last year(not magnum rubbish),now thet have worn out,
I wander why.?
Linos fully agree my boots need replacing having inspected them,1problem RM beleive boots should last minium of 9 months.
Now as of this week if your boots wear out under 9 months ,lino has to go on intranet ,and submit a report to Head Office,HQ will then decide if you need new boots or not!
looks like I am going to have to buy my own boots again,dont want Magnam Crap ,or shoes as they dont suppourt ankle.
Think you stand slim chance of getting your money.

Re: footwear payments
Bones fusing?? Heel spurs??? Get yourself some decent insoles and that will reduce the problems (I'm speaking from experience from wearing those effin Magnums).edo10 wrote:sorry about commas and fullstops, their footwear is crap not enough support(i have bones fusing in my feet) i dont mine paying the extra never did ,but they started all this because i couldnt wear theirs,now i thing they are just pis-ing me around. thanks anywayDGP1 wrote:Some commas and a few fullstops wouldn't go amiss in your post, it's very difficult to read your post without them.

Re: footwear payments
Get the Health and safety rep on the case. I would not wear your own footwear if possible because if you trip they will say its not their fault and partly down to your own shoes/boots.

Re: footwear payments
Fused bones is a bugger of a thing to deal with. My daughter has an extra bone in each ankle, both are fused, no way could she wear RM issue boots or shoes. After reading this i got her to wear mine for 5 mins before she felt the pain. Bless her. No idea on the payment thing. I know my colleague has been waiting for a while for his payment.
Finally got my new boots through this week after waiting since november.
