Shoddy Trainers
On the subject of RO shoes that fall apart. The canvas and rubber trainers tend to fall apart very quickly (it happened to my friend in a couple of wears and mine shortly after). The metal staple at the rear comes loose and then the sole starts falling to pieces. My advice - when you buy, take them from the place of purchase and immediately to a good cobblers, explain the problem and they'll fit a additional sole with better longevity. Aside - I think it's a little obscene RO can't sort this fundamental problem on a £600-a-pop trainer but that hasn't stopped me (and others) buying them (which might explain why RO still have not fixed).
