Footwear for snow.

[Thunderthighs]

I realise that we have to wear the RM stuff, and that ice/snow grips dont always work. So, I thought of buying my own Top of the Range winter Magnums.
But, Magnums told me to check with RM Health and Safety dept to ensure this was ok.

Does anyone know what spec the RM issued Mag's have? Surley, if I get a better/winter upgraded pair with my own cash, they wud be ok? ( Well, thats what Logic tells me!)

Having "ice skated" for 2 hrs yesterday, I dont think Im quite ready for the next Winter Olympics as yet.
thanks...

Nothing will come close to RM boots with the grippers on,unless of course you want to wear crampons,at least if you are wearing issue kit and you fall over you are covered,plus if I was buying boots it would be either Lowa,or Altbergs.
