Got my Rohans on Thursday. They're the most comfortable trainers I've had uniform wise. Very spongy under the heel and wide around the toes

Perhaps RM need to supply these - Adidas’s new 97-gram running shoe is a London Marathon record breaker…

On return yesterday one of our posties binned his brand new Rockfall trainers after just one day & went home in his socks, phoned in sick this morning chafing, blisters & bleeding feet, I've seen the photos :sad:

Why do Royal Mail do everything on the cheap?

Why not team up with Sketchers, Merrell, Solomon & supply us with some decent footwear :sad:

I'm back to wearing currently-issued footwear for the Summer (because I'm not ablating my DM's soles any more than I need to). The pain in my heel that alleviated three years ago when I stopped wearing the modern garbage is back :hmmmm

I might add, it's entirely feasible to resurrect old uniform items. Most of the 1985-1999 uniform was rebranded Air Force gear which is still in production.
The machine stops.

A new pair of Magnums every 6 months or so does me fine.
