Are boots comfortable to fly in

[Neville Nobody]

I'd say most of you blokes who wear RM's "To the pub" would fly in those big long floppy boots that clowns wear. Don't you have trouble with them getting caught under the dash when you put your feet on the rudder pedals?

Nope.

Now moved to RM's Dynamic Flex (no metal no ping at security!) as damage to old RM's meant that the resole was no longer guaranteed, and the repair (soles, side elastic, inner heel lining) was getting close to 50% of the cost of a new pair. Not bad for over five years use.

I'm happy for you Captain, those RM's really seem to be the way to go. While your commenting and promoting saddle frigger gear Captain what excatly do those great big white aerials do (Apart from the obligitory Bundy Rum flag on one side and Oz flag on the other) on your ute? Do you get booked for rear view obscurement with all those stickers on your rear window?

Neville old bean,
what (or who) is stuck up your a*se today?

RM's have a long TBO and are, unlike others, able to be zero timed by the factory.

Slightly homophobic rebly there 303. Witty and cleverly worked in aviation theme there fella, you should get a job with the Mirror with skills like that.

Yeah sorry Neville, I'm not very PC.
But seriously, why your angst about RM boots? Does your Check Captain wear them, or were you kicked by a stock and station agent when you were a kid?

I wear Windsor smith, no issues, helps me reach the rudder better lol

I wear Navy issue parade boots they are very light, give me great rudder authority and good for footwork outside the aircraft etc...

I've tried other footwear and nothing seems to work as well.
