Re: royal mail shoes..
Yes, they should.
A good stout pair of Doc Martens will help protect their pinkies if, and when, they accidentally spill hot coffee on them, very important when you consider how many cups of coffee they handle every day.

It depends on the office, in an office that everyone has to wear safety shoes/boots then yes they should wear them, otherwise they can take their chances and not complain if they get hurt

Re: royal mail shoes..

I think these are a little bit more stylish.
Still for clowns though.

Re: royal mail shoes..

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: royal mail shoes..
True. But being wet in very cold conditions, can weaken your immune system. Making you more likley to catch whatever's going round at the time. Although, whoever told Michael that his cold wet feet caused the illness, was stretching the truth a bit. Because he must have been exposed to the Virus, in order to catch it.clashcityrocker wrote:You don't get flu from having wet feet.michael r postie wrote:i ordered boots months ago when mine were leaking in the snow
