Shoes and other purchases?

Post by Samanthafletcher12 »

Hiya I have just had my start date which is in a few weeks time so I’m trying to buy bits that I need. Has any one got any suggestions? And what shoes would everyone recommend please?

Congratulations. I would stick with a cool plain top and cargo shorts to begin with, or at least something that has lots of pockets. You will get hot especially now. I ordered my basic uniform straight away and it arrived within the week. I received 2 trousers (it was winter) 5 polos, fleece, and a pair of trainers. I would recommend sticking with clothes you already have rather than buying new as hopefully your initial uniform allocation can be ordered straight away. With regards to shoes, again comfort and support is the main thing. If you have a good pair of walking shoes or sketchers etc stick with them.
