They used to supply us with our work shoes. FANTASTIC footwear. Work dumped them for a cheap Doc Martin. Now we have a choice of a cheap MAGNUM (nothing like the ones used by the forces), Caterpillar trainer / shoe or boot. The Cat`s are just not wide enough & the cushioned sole disintegrates in about 2 months tops. MAGNUM`s are a decent wide fitting, quite water resistant but they have a cushioned sole so thick it looks like something out of the 70`s disco era. Again these last 3 months tops before heel is wearing through. The extra thick sole makes ankle movements very cumbersome & plays hell with my calves.
