The pair l received lasted less than 2 hours into my delivery, was told by my manager that it must have been a random faulty pair but another 6 posties in my office must have got the random pairs too.
Plus told that replacement spikes COULD be ordered but havent arrived, and that we are to hand them back in over the summer months hten re-issued with them in time for the next bad weather period.

Received mine at the start of the snow......................but we had to hand them back, RM must be really short of money when we have to hand our safety gear back.

Its interesting to see how much truth there was in Royal Mail reports that they were ordered but not recieved from suppliers!
