I wouldn't worry.... If you pass you PRMC they'll get you a pair in or have a couple of pairs ready for when you start training.

Incidentally, how tall are you etc ?

Mate has size 16 cannoe boots.

Unfortunately stores couldn't supply them. He had to have a set specialy ordered to fit.

Current rulings are, if you are to big for whats available, then they will purchase/ reimberse purchase of a suitable set.

If the Issue boots are unsuitable to the user (for medical reasons) they will issue or supply a differing boot. In some cases Nods have been issued with the ProBoot as it has been better suited to them.

Alternative boots are not supplied to everyone, normally only as a medical necesity to avoid/ reduce injury. After all everyone is diffrent in foot size and gait.

While on the subject of size I was wondering do all recuits have to go under the same water tunnel or are there different ones for different sizes. Sorry to go of the subject.
