...for the Military
UK Gear’s training shoes were originally designed in association with the Royal Army Physical Training Corps (RAPTC). These elite fitness professionals were closely involved in the development and tested our products in some of the most inhospitable conditions on Earth. Only when approved by the Military do we consider our products... Built to survive.

>>01 May 2005First I would like to thank you for choosing me to test your products. I apologize for the delay in my response but I wanted to give my trial an adequate period of time before I gave you any feedback. I was skeptical at first, but after having run a marathon in your shoes - I have a good deal of confidence in UK Gear.
I have tried about every major brand of running shoe over the past ten years. I am 200 Lbs. and have a large and wide foot. Before, I was satisfied with my old pair of Asics but now that I have tried you PT-03 I am sure that I have a new running shoe. Specifically what I really liked about them was the cushioning, stability and fit. The shoes provides a stable foot bed and glide the foot into proper pronation. In these three areas I believe there is little - if any - room for improvement.
I like your shoe so much I have been squeezing into the 12.5 and also using the 13. I have given a pair to a friend of mine up in Los Angeles who will be writing to you shortly. I still have a size 12 and would like to trade it for another 13 if possible. If you are looking for more individuals to test your shoes let me know.
I would be happy to answer any other questions you have, or provide more feedback if you would like it.
