In the past I have had Caterpillar & Timberland, the Caterpillar were comfortable but did not last long before they started to split, the Timberland boots were too narrow, but neither had the grip of the Magnum. I very often end up walking in water & they never leak, I would recommend them to anyone. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1007/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1007/magnum-boots/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:24:34 +0100 I have tried all types of Boots, but then someone reccommened Magnums to me, and after wearing them now for four years every day, and only have had to replace once, I can honestly say there is now no other boot I would even consider wearing, or buying, I am disabled, and can have problems finding footwear suitable, but these I now recomed to anyone and everyone Pete http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1006/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1006/magnum-boots/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:49:02 +0100 i wear magnum boots while i deliver the post while they are very durable i do find that the grip is quite poor during frosty or wet mornings and on numerous occasions have slipped on wet or icy surfaces http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1005/work/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1005/work/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:34:40 +0100 I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH AS LEFT ME WITH WEAK ANKLES.MY SURGEON RECOMENDED ME TO GET SUM MAGNUM BOOTS AND I'VE NEVER LOOKED BACK.

They are light, comfortable and most of all they keep your feet dry they have made a huge difference to my life http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1003/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1003/magnum-boots/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:25:34 +0100 It's been a week since I bought my first pair of Magnum boots for casual use. During this time I spend a lot home, so the field testing hasn't been as extensive as I would have liked. But last weekend I wore them almost none-stop. I sat, walked and cycled in them for many hours. Just like I'd normally do with my shoes on a busy day. When I bought these Magnums, there was a little space between the shoe and my heel when I walked. Enough to be a hindrance, but small enough to convince me it could be overcome. Saturday I had indeed no trouble until the end of the day: after wearing them for at least ten hours straight, I noticed I had some small blisters on my heel. Very tiny, and I had half expected that with that loose heel. The next day I wore these boots an equal time, and I had no trouble at all. The blisters were gone by the end of the day, so I guess it's just because the shoes were new and my feet weren't fully adapted yet. During the past few days it has rained quite a lot, and I can say that while I was quite wet, my feet stayed dry all the time. Wind and rain are no match for the Stealth Forces. I'll still have to walk into some deep water, but for casual use they are absolutely waterproof enough. Now the rest of my cloths and I could ride through every weather. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1002/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp-416-day-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1002/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp-416-day-8/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:55:25 +0100 New job and reason to splash out... I took the advice of all the other trainees and opted for Magnum Stealth 3/4 boots which were specially for patrol use. Had them nearly 2 years now and still as comfy as new (with an insole) and no real damage to them... WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/1001/first-time-buyer-and-very-satisfied/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/1001/first-time-buyer-and-very-satisfied/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:21:29 +0100 I bought these boots for the field as I'm in the TA but soon found that I was wearing them everyday for work as they were like slipping on a pair of running shoes. The new boots bonded well with my feet with no complaints from them or I. I strongly recommended them to other workers and before long new boots started appearing around my work area. My work area? did I not mention, I work for a trials and development company for the MOD. Ive had these boots just over a year now and will continue to wear them till the bitter end. Thanks Magnum for a comfert light Lightweight boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1000/magnum-spider-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/1000/magnum-spider-elite/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:19:38 +0100 I recently bought my Magnum boots as a replacement for a pair of hike boots that I'd had for five years. I was looking for something comfortable out of the box- my hike boots took 3 months to break in, and my Magnum boots were as comfortable when I tried them on at the shop. They needed to be sturdy and chemical resistant- my job brings me into contact with many irritant and harmful chemicals, none of which have touched the finish on my boots. We carry 50 kilo bins down six flights of stairs every night, and the ankle support on them is fantastic. I have to say that considering the abuse my boots get, for them to still be in this condition is amazing. They're comfortable, incredibly sturdy and very supportive in all the right areas. I only bought them a month ago, but if they broke now I'd order another pair straight away. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/999/my-elite-force-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/999/my-elite-force-boots/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:37:16 +0100 Just completed a 2 week intensive course incorporating loads of tabbing. 11 people failed through damaged feet....

This includes teaching (where standing and walking about is essential), playground duty, school trips, etc. I broke all the bones in my right ankle 4 years ago and after the plates and screws that repaired it, it still causes pain. So I searched everywhere for comfortable boots (as boots support the ankle more), but I have yet to be convinced there is anything that will aid me in my job. Would really like to test your boots after I saw a recommendation on the net. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/993/looking-for-boots-when-teaching/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/993/looking-for-boots-when-teaching/ Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:29:38 +0100 I had a pair of magnums many years ago, best and most comfortable boots I owned, pity the new company don't stock, supply em http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/992/had/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/992/had/ Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:51:58 +0100 My magnums are attached to me like my feet. Through fields of cow pat and sheep poo, through rough terrain, up the hills in wales, and on camp, these boots haved served me no end of comfort through the tough times. I've even gone so far as to name them, Zippy the response boots (the ones with zips) I've owned this pair for two years now, and they've never given up on me. they've seen me through everything i've done in a uniform, and are well and truly sentimental value. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/991/zippy-the-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/991/zippy-the-magnums/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:40:32 +0100 Going to be completing the Coast to Coast in 2011 and a pair of Magnum boots would be perfect for the job. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/990/coast-to-coast-2011/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/990/coast-to-coast-2011/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:21:10 +0100 Today I've bought my first pair of Magnums from an army dump store. I came there because I'd like to wear combat boots, and my old ones were totally torn apart. When walking there this afternoon, my eye fell for the wide collection of brand new Magnum boots they offered. They were aesthetically pleasing, and looked pretty solid. Personally I like high boots, and I wanted some really solid ones. That limited my choice to a few, and after looking at them for a while I decided to try a few out. Quickly I came to the conclusion that I liked the Stealth Force 8.0 Leather CT&CP (416) most. It's a high boot with composite toes - making it airport friendly, although I would still have taken it if it was airport unfriendly - and a wide list of specifications. But most importantly, it did fit my foot, and I f-ound it a good walk. I did have some doubts, to be honest. When I walked in the store, I noticed that my heel came a little loose while walking. A smaller size wouldn't be an option, since that fit perfectly. I tried some insoles, but they made it only worse. I wasn't entirely sure if this would become an hindrance, or if I would get used to it. In the end I decided to buy the shoe anyway, and have a go for it. This evening I could immediately field test it. I had to cycle 45 minutes to get to a party, where I walked and sat for a few hours, and cycled 45 minutes back. Even tough my feet still have to get used to the boots (or the boots have to get used to my feet), I walked pretty easy on them. The nuisiance of new shoes wasn't that bad. But most important of all, I didn't notice the lifting of the heel that much. This convinces me that in due time, the shoe will perfectly fit my feet. I will not use the shoes (if all goes well) for some heavy or extreme duty, but just for regular use as my day-to-day shoes. I can't say much yet about them, since this is the first day I have them, but I intend to share my experiences in the future. So stay tuned. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/989/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp-416-day-1/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/989/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp-416-day-1/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:20:28 +0100 I have been using them for almost a year now and would not use any other, they are very comfortable on the feet and are very good for ankle support. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/988/there-ace/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/988/there-ace/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:57:27 +0100 Iv been in the British Army for 9 years now and since I left training I have always worn Magnum Boots I have worn them through 5 operational tours both in rural urban Northern ireland and Bosnia to the deserts and streets of Iraq and Afganistan and they have constantly outshone and surpassed the boots my Collegues wear. they offer comfort, stability and hard wearing in every enviroment I have worn them and they have never failed me I will continue to wear Magnum boots till my service ends in another 13 years. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/987/the-only-boots-i-wear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/987/the-only-boots-i-wear/ Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:29:44 +0100 From the very first moment when you put on magnum boots they are comfortable light and there is no worries about breaking them in and no blisters. In my many years i have travelled to many places worldwide and my magnums are now in the proud possesion of a tibetian monk whom i met while in nepal . Just aswell i had a backup pair of magnums to keep my feet warm and dry as tempratures go as low as minus 15. My feet where warm dry and i was happy. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/986/the-ultimate-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/986/the-ultimate-boots/ Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:28:04 +0100 comfortable and hard wearing, good value for money http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/985/mr/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/985/mr/ Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:00:11 +0100 I am wearing Magnum shoes for about four/five years daily. Just because they fit great. The only problem wearing these shoes day-in and out ( around 14 hours a day!); After a few months the inside heel coating starts to wear off and after a year the outside rips at the outside part of my toes. But the are great, that is why I keep buying them every year again. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/984/mostly-the-best-shoes/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/984/mostly-the-best-shoes/ Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:26:59 +0100 Best pair i have ever had, i have had 3 pairs over 8 years will never buy another brand again kept my feet dry and warm in all the bad weather they polish well and if you add the zips you are laughing.

As well as my normal duties I often go on exercises in the field. I have been looking for the perfect boot, so far nothing lasts me past the six month period, before I have to go and exchange them at my QM Stores. I cannot get a pair of magnum boots as they wont allow it, much to my frustration. Still I hope that one day I can get a pair of comfortable and breathable boots, I refuse to purchase them. Reasonings behind that, is because my employer should provide, they do, however the going through two maybe three pairs a year - to me thats false economy. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/979/the-perfect-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/979/the-perfect-boot/ Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:04:05 +0100 Best boots to Tab with, regardless of distance and weight, the boots performance far outshine any boots issued or bought before, your feet remain cool and no blisters or rubbing even when a new pair are worn. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/978/tabing/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/978/tabing/ Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:24:26 +0100 I Have been in EMS for 18 years I am on my 2nd pair of Magnums in 3 years your boots are great well made and i love the whicking material it keeps my feet dry and cool.

I have worn them for more than 10 years and foudn them superior to boots that cost more such as Red Wing. Few people know they are boots when worn with long pants making them ideal even with less casual dress as they hold a great shine. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/974/incomparable-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/974/incomparable-boot/ Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:17:26 +0100 these boos r the best boots i have ever worn i even boot a set to do my tour in afhgan in 2009 and they were excelent lasted the full 7 month i was out there and still have them to this date - only bad thing could not wear them in the uk on exercise as they were not water proof till now so ill give the new boot a good wear in and see if they keep the high standard i expect from magnum http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/973/magnum-spiders-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/973/magnum-spiders-elite/ Fri, 20 Aug 2010 22:50:53 +0100 best boot one need to have when it comes to hazardous area http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/972/the-best-boot-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/972/the-best-boot-ever/ Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:09:59 +0100 MY BEST BOOTS IN THIS WORLD http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/971/nice-boots-and-bests-design/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/971/nice-boots-and-bests-design/ Thu, 19 Aug 2010 22:56:14 +0100 I have worn these boots on exercise - great boots for the field and doing FIBUA.

I was at work a couple of nights ago and the clouds just opened up. There were puddles everywhere. We were called to a rather large puddle that had covered lane one of a dual carriage-way and was causing issues. I had to stand in this puddle which came up to the six eyelet of my boots to clear the drain. Guess what? Yep, dry feet unlike my colleague who was not so well dressed in the boot area. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/969/magnum-elite-ii/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/969/magnum-elite-ii/ Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:32:30 +0100 Dears, being a owner of a pair of Magnum regular classic boots, which brought me through many years in all seasons from various points of the world, inclusive the Dolomite Mountains or sandy beaches, i decided now to buy me a new pair of the Elite Spider 8.0, due my old ones getting really thin sols. Nethertheless i will use them a last time on my trip around the Mediterranean Sea, visiting Egypt, Turkey and other Countries.

I have been a contractor since 03 and these boots just last. I spend 12-16 hours a day on my feet in snow, rain, mud, dust, dirt and rocks...oh man the rocks. They break soles in half and push right though but not on the Magnums. In and out of choppers and tactical vehicles and in grease and biodegradable products they keep on performing.

One easy example when caught out in a rain storm the only part of me left dry was my feet!. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/960/reliable/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/960/reliable/ Sun, 15 Aug 2010 14:23:59 +0100 quality footwear !!!! better than any issue kit http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/959/the-best-bit-of-kit-i-ever-bought/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/959/the-best-bit-of-kit-i-ever-bought/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:50:34 +0100 Well I have had these boots 5 years now and after being worn for nearly every day during that time they have today, sadley sprung a leak in the soles. I can honsetly say that these boots proved themselves time and time again during their loyal service. I have stood in some appaling rain on street corners and at crime scenes with only my feet remaining dry. I have worn them during walking sessions to Pen y Fan in Wales and I think I was the ony one with feet that blistered and sore. the fit is good the fabric is still in good condition and none of the eyelets have pulled out a problem I first thought would raise its head within a year or two. Werll done to the people who designed and got these boots out on the market you proved your worth with these.I hope that your quality and design skills havn't changed over the past 5 years and my next pair match up to some exacting needs. cheers. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/958/magnum-elite-900-wp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/958/magnum-elite-900-wp/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:18:53 +0100 There are things you have to do when you want a shoe that won't let you down. A little bonus is that people recognise the brand. I work with rough sleeping homeless people, so I go into places where looking before you leap isn't an option. The people I work with comment on my good choice of shoes, although very occasionally they think only police and soldiers wear Magnums. In all fairness, I meet a lot of professionals in the services in my job, and they do wear Magnums, and they like mine. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/957/join-the-club/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/957/join-the-club/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 17:07:32 +0100 Serving in Iraq in 2003 I was issued with the Desert Amazon. They were the best boot I had been issued with. They lasted the whole 6 month tour, which included short foot patrols in Basra. The boots were extremely comfortable to wear, did not become uncomfortable in the heat and provided the flexibility and comfort needed for long days wearing, everyday. In 2006, I was on my second tour of Iraq. I was provided with the new standard issue desert boot. After 2 weeks of wearing, I contacted my Wife in the UK to dig out my old pair issued Amazons and send them out to me, as I couldn't wear the new issued boots any more. On my return on R&R I purchased a new pair to return to Theatre with, by this point, the Original Amazons were well and truly worn out, after nearly a tour and a half! I actually upset me to put them in the bin. On my 3rd Return in 2007, I was doing long range desert patrols in Mid Iraq. Up to 4 weeks in the desert at a time. This time I returned with a new pair of Amazons from the start of the tour. And once again served me well. Now UK based. I have been suffering with a number of lower limb problems, that are not helped by the standard issue Combat High Boot. I have purchased a number of Black Leather Magnum Boots, The Stealth (Zip side) and then Phantom. Both excellent and comfortable boots. Finally, (due to my lower limb injuries) the Army have now issued me with Amazons (Black). I now wear these on a daily basis and would not go without them! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/956/desert-footwear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/956/desert-footwear/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:47:02 +0100 Since wearing magnum boots i wouldt choose any other brand. I work as a door superviser at weekends & they are ideal for me to wear as they are comfortable to wear on a friday & saturday night after being at work all day. Im also in the TA but not allowed to wear my own boots until i have completed my basic training but after that it will be magnum's all the way! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/955/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/955/magnum-boots/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:20:56 +0100 Just bought a pair of Magnum classic cens, thought they looked like what i was looking for, the design is very solid, the sole is touch, durable and extremely grippy even on wet ground! these are the first pair of boots i've bought, mainly because i thought that shoes gave much more manuverability however these boots provide that plus that nice vomfy, secure, snug fit feeling that you wouldnt get on most boots, i can run comfortably with these and still feel theyre new, the padding isnt so easy to flatten out. The padding around the top of the boot is such that im sure that after 8 hours of patrol it wont start hurting, they are very breathable, not once have i felt my feet get all sweaty, hot and odourous! Ii think that after these get worn out, ill be getting a better pair of boots, perhaps the new 8.0's, but i dont think that'l be any time soon as this pair seems to not want to give up! they keep giving and giving! Great pair of boots! Thank you Magnum!

After being issued new military boots with the same style as magnum, I was convinced this was the new boot for me. Was very excited to find that after wearing out the military issued, they had them at a sporting store, then they stopped carrying them. (stupids). Luckily found some at the sporting/hardware store. Out of my size, Found magnum online, Thank God, because they never carried my exact size, Pros, easy break in, easy on and off, comfortable, good grip, very flexible. I am up on hoists and racks wet , oily and dry, light weight and breatheable for sweaty feet. Cons, shoe laces break early on, hard to find the right sizes in stores. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/938/magum-cobra-viper-side-zips/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/938/magum-cobra-viper-side-zips/ Fri, 13 Aug 2010 04:37:33 +0100 I got my first Magnum boots when I started a security job and they were the only boots I've ever worn which were comfortable immediately when I first put them on. They didn't seem to require any breaking in at all which was a big surprise to me.

I do deserve a new pair though, these are getting a bit tatty, just like their owner :( http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/934/magnum-boots-are-fabulous/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/934/magnum-boots-are-fabulous/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:38:16 +0100 I've recently completed the 4 day Nijmegen marches plus several practice walks in these boots. I also wear them a couple of times a week for ATC. In all they've probably covered about 600/700 miles in the 8 months I've had them and still look good. They are very light and comfortable - I tend to be a martyr to my feet and have had blisters and ingrown toenails in the past. Not so with my Magnum's....plus they're on the wide side so can take a couple of pairs of socks or some of the thick technical type without a squeeze. All in all very happy with them and will be getting a new pair once I start training for next year's Death March! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/933/magnum-elite-great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/933/magnum-elite-great-boots/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:45:32 +0100 I use my Magnum classics for a variety of uses, they are brilliant all-rounders, I use them for work where I am lifting heavy objects and foot protection and grip is essential. I use them when participating in airsoft games, a game much like paintball, so they also face a military style thrashing through all sorts of mud, grit, getting shot at! Through all this they prevail, and have not let me down, they are so study, comfortable, and pretty good value! Brilliant all-round product! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/932/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/932/magnum-classics/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:38:54 +0100 I do a lot of walking on the coastpath and other footpaths in the Cornish countryside.

I have put the boots through endless shifts both involving long walks through all type of terrains and standing guarding a location. Not once have I had cause to complain about the confort of the boots even now after three years of almost daily use they remain a firm but light boot. The sole has been fairly worn but still has good grip and provides sure footing. There is not one single stich out of place and they still polish up great. I cant fault this boots they are light yet provide great protection I have had a few individulats try to kick me or stump on my feet and the boot has provided a very reasonable level of protection. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/924/magnum-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/924/magnum-elite/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:31:31 +0100 As a police officer, i spend in excess of 9 hours a day wearing my boots. Six years ago i bought a pair of magnum elite boots and loved them. They gave me about three excellent years of service but when it came to a replacement, for some reason i got other makes then settled with a pair of karrimor boots. They have served me well but they have never been comfortable and i was forever slipping over in them. I have now bought my stealth 8's and i am over the moon with them. Although only doing 2 shifts in them they are already like wearing slippers for work. They support my ankles very well but allow me to drive with ease. The sole and insole are so soft, i feel like i am walking on air and the boots are so light i can barely feel them. After running after a few people i managed to stay upright as there is plenty of grip and there is no need to break these boots in as they a comfortable from the box and will last for years. Why did i try any other boots before getting back to what in my opinion is the best boot for a copper to spend his or her long shift in, MAGNUMS. Excellent boots and great value for money what more could you want. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/923/stealth-force-8-leather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/923/stealth-force-8-leather/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:16:43 +0100 After trying many different types of boot I came to Magnum and have not looked back.Our duties can sometimes be 14 hour shifts and the boots make this easy to do.Comfortable light and offering superb support painful legs and aching knee joints are thankfilly a thing of the past. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/922/magnum-stealth-8-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/922/magnum-stealth-8-boots/ Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:06:28 +0100 I am an Enforcement Officer for one of the many County Coucils and walk on average around 15 miles every day in all types of weather. In the past I have tried all sorts and styles of footware including Army boots and although some were quite good, they'd be heavy or would let water in if exposed to constant rain, and very often would need breaking in. It was a long serving Police officer who told me about Magnum boots, my first pair being the Elite with the ventilated side panels. I was supprised at how comfortable they were straight out of the box and required almost no breaking in, and they look good too. Since then I haven't changed brand only the style as I now opt for the full leather with sole and toe protection. To sumerise then these boots are lite but strong enough to protect and support, are comfortable even in hot weather when patrolling miles of tarmac, waterproof (and believe me they really are!), you really won't want another pair of boot once you tried Magnum's. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/921/just-the-job/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/921/just-the-job/ Tue, 10 Aug 2010 17:04:58 +0100 After thinking for a while about which magnum's to buy as a replacement for my uncomfortable karrimor boots i have decided on the stealth force 8. I bought them today and i am off for a night shift to try them out. As soon as i have put them on my feet they feel so much better than my old boots and i am looking forward to trying them out. I will report back soon with the verdict. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/920/stealth-force-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/920/stealth-force-8/ Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:51:19 +0100 Great boots, easy to break in no problems, awesome footware, will get some more http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/918/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/918/great-boots/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:50:17 +0100 I was in the army for some years and on training excersises i swore by magnum boots the comfort would eliminate the sore heels and toes i would suffer from wearing standard issue, I could have been on a two day or two week excersise and have comfort on my feet even when wet the boots are reliable as the dry quickly and prevent any fungal problems. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/917/comfort-and-reliability/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/917/comfort-and-reliability/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:18:36 +0100 As a serving police officer in the British Police Force i have worn MAGNUM boots for the last 15 years .I would not wear anything else as i have found that the boots are hard wearing ,comfortable,affordable and do the job they where made for and i will continue to buy MAGNUM boots . http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/916/al-mason/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/916/al-mason/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 13:10:39 +0100 I am a adult instructor in the army cadet force and was a cadet. So i have my fair share of getting out in to the wilderness of Scotland and exspericaing a millitary life style while away on training. So a high quality pair of boots such as the Magnum brand appealed to me when i first began my cadet exsperiance and it still does. I have been through 2 pairs of the high quality boot in my time within the cadets and to be honest they have made me proud wether its out on the parade square or out on a night tab at the battalions millitary skills compotition.

At first i was like its only another pair of boots but after a while of wearing them . They were really comfortable and sturdy so i was really happy with them. After i had done my ankle in they were the most suitable boots for my ankle . They supported my ankle very well which aided in a speedy recovery. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/912/stealth-force-60/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/912/stealth-force-60/ Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:05:15 +0100 Currently I have been wearing Bates boots... they have lasted about two years and I am a response officer for the Metropolitan Police. I am considering buying Magnum but will they last as long? http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/911/change/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/911/change/ Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:38:19 +0100 I'm a South African Police official and work with my magnum boots every day. I'm a Sergeant and work in crime prevention unit on a motorcycle. I bought my own Magnum boots because we are issued with a different brand of boots, but thy simply aren't up to the task. the current pair i am using is 3 years old and still going strong although the soles are getting warned out. Its been through a lot of chases, over walls, through mud and rain and all sorts of harsh conditions never tore or missed a beat. Thanks Magnum for high quality footwear keep up the good work. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/910/magnum-boots-for-sa-police-officials/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/910/magnum-boots-for-sa-police-officials/ Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:12:08 +0100 We run a top class boot resole center in NYC, We've received a few Magnum Boots for re-craft...Our Cobblers have been astonished with the way this boot is built & the sole quality....Finding an equal sole to meet/match the original sole has been quite a challenge. Thanks, http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/909/soles-made-for-performance/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/909/soles-made-for-performance/ Tue, 03 Aug 2010 01:59:05 +0100 In December 2009, I was driving across the Sahara desert. Acting stupid, I decided that I would sit on the car window with one leg in the car and the seatbelt pulled out to stop me from falling out of the car. My attention was elsewhere and I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings. Suddenly, I looked up and saw a 14T tipper lorry heading right for us. I managed to lower my head enough to fit through the window. Unfortunately, my shoulder and leg were still in the way. My shoulder got pushed through the car's roof, and my hips through the quarter panel. My leg got used as a bumper between the lorry and the car door. Long story short, I ended up with 5 minor fractures and a lot of stiches; but my foot was unscathed! The impact had so much for that paint from both the car and the lorry rubbed onto the Elite Spider's (desert tan) I was wearing. I truly feel that the boots saved my foot and leg. Had they not absorbed the impact, my foot would have been crushed and my leg along with it. The boots took the impact, imprinted their shape into the door and truly were stunning! Now I'm looking for another pair... one without the paint from a lorry and a car on them! Sadly, I can't seem to find the Elite Spider in desert tan anymore! Need to find something else, but rest assured they'll be Magnum boots!

I have the "classic all leather" ones and they have served me well including limiting an injury to my right fibula in 2002. It was only when the boot was taken off did i realise i had fracutured it and to this day, while the nothing could have prevented the injury I feel it could have been a lot worse had i been wearing normal patrol shoes. They also still ball up well just as as any parade shoe. Keep your feet warm and cool and I've worn them pretty much every working day . I have 2 pairs that alternate. I still have my orginal ones which i bought in 1997 which are still ok and are used for paintballing. Alas all good things must come to and end and years of use and loyal service. requires me to purchase another pair. No doubt that the superior standard set in 1997 will be same if not better in 2010. Stay safe out there Best regards JD http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/906/magnum-boots-since-recruit/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/906/magnum-boots-since-recruit/ Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:32:04 +0100 At the moment i do not own a pair of MAGNUM boots. I have in the past owned 3 or 4 pairs. I have found them very comfortable,hard wearing,durable and not one pair ever gave me blisters. As i am a driver i find them easy to drive in,not to bulky on my feet around the pedals. My hobby is hiking and thay are perfect for that,whatever the terrain. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/905/good-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/905/good-boots/ Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:38:37 +0100 About 6 years ago, shortly after joining the police, I was on patrol in a particularly nasty area. There had been an assault and we were searching for outstanding suspects. Myself and my crew mate turn a corner in our car and a male, fitting the description of one of our suspects, saw us then immediately ran. My collegue was driving, so I leapt from the car and began to chase the male. The area I was running through was a large housing estate, filled with back alleys, cycle routes and other short cuts. I managed, despite 2 stone of equipment, to keep the male in sight and was possibly even gaining. That is when it happened. My equipment belt came loose, and my asp swung, with som considerable force into my gentlemans area. Well needless to say I fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I was found rolling around and... clutching myself. Do you know what... despite a drawn out foot chase, I didn't notice my feet aching at all. Magnums, you can't beat 'em! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/904/a-true-tesitment-to-the-comfort-of-the-magnum-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/904/a-true-tesitment-to-the-comfort-of-the-magnum-boot/ Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:51:05 +0100 Even in the extremes of desert temperatures these rugged lightweight boot maintained support whilst still remaining cool, dry and supportive.

Very lightweight and comfortable to say the least. UnfortunateIy will have to invest in a new pair and would welcome any recmomendations....I quite fancy the new boots made especially for females??? any thoughts? http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/899/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/899/magnum-boots/ Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:12:23 +0100 i recieved my Magnums from my employer from work. first thing i thought was awesome new boots. The next thing i thought was how light they were, I used to do a lot of physical labour work and wore heavy boots. so i never thought work boots could be cumbersome nor enjoyable but i guess i was wrong. These bad boys have done me well for about a year with minor battle scars but over all im quite happy with the job done by the magnum blokes, cheers fellas http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/898/magnum-stealth-ii-field-test-australia/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/898/magnum-stealth-ii-field-test-australia/ Sat, 31 Jul 2010 07:47:33 +0100 I HAVE WORKED FOR THE POLICE FOR 11 YEARS, AND HAVE GOT THROUGH A FEW PAIRS OF BOOTS IN THAT TIME. NONE HAVE BEEN AS COMFORTABLE AS THE PAIR OF MAGNUM CLASSICS THAT I USE NOW. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/897/magnum-classic-leather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/897/magnum-classic-leather/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:39:29 +0100 My name is Daniel and I?m a financial advisor, boyscout and Heavy Metal-Fan from Germany. I?m a boyscout for more than 13 years now, and I tested every kind of boots and shoes in any situation you can imagin. Minimum once a week we go to the football/soccerstadium, on a concert , hiking or we camp out near our favorite river. In these years I spent hundreds and hundreds of euros for boots. Only my mountainboots cost nearly 300 euros. Three years ago I found in our local army shop a pair of light weight boot called Magnum! At this time, it was a pity to ruin my expensive boots at parties or cover them with beer in the stadium, so I weared heavy, full leather army boots at hard rock festivals or something else. But it was horrible to walk with. So i bought these cheap Magnums and what should I say more... now I?m always looking for situations to wear them ;-) My girlfriend goes crazy when i wear them during our shopping trips or celebrating festivals but these boots are so light and comfortable, I can?t really describe it whith my thin english knowledge. I?m more than convinced, realy enthusiastic about them. And when the new ion-mask magnums in full leather are more robust and fully water resistend, these would be the best shoes in the world ever! But in truth, I have no reason to order them... my classics won´t broke!!! After ten days of hardcore heavy metalI festival mud/rain/pee you put them into the washing machine and the`re nearly brand new. And I have so crooked feet, I destroy all my soles only with walking in just six to eight months, but the magnum soles are so strong, after three years there`s missing only half a centimeter. I try to convince all my boyscout friends to hike whith magnums. Ok, you need to walk them in (so we call in Germany) and you have to buy the extra magnum inlay but then you walk like on clouds, also after twenty kilometers a day! When I should ever walk around the world I`ll need just one pair of boots, my magnums. (I hope the new Ion-mask are not much heavier) Greetings from Germany, Daniel http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/896/boots-for-any-situation/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/896/boots-for-any-situation/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:45:27 +0100 Best pair of boots i ever placed on my feet, Comfortable,light hard wearing and no need to break them in http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/895/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/895/magnum-classics/ Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:07:02 +0100 after owning a pair of magnum classic's for some years, in 2004 i decided to try the elite's because as a PC i needed something comfortable, secure, waterproof and supportive. After wearing the elite's for 4 years i found them to be an excellent pair of boots that were like wearing trainers for work. After running through streets and streams, my feet were always dry and comfortable to the point i would wear them to go home. I have strayed from magnums for the last two years and have regretted it as my current karrimor's are not half the boot the magnum was. I have colleagues who are currently wearing danners, adidas and lowas and i still think they are not as purpose built for a police officer, as the magnum's are. I now have to decide which magnums i should buy because my feet have suffered enough due to my current boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/893/magnum-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/893/magnum-elite/ Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:04:38 +0100 i purchased a pair of magnum elite in 2004 and had four years excellent service from them. For some reason i then purchased a pair of karrimor boots which cost around £100. Since buying them they have not been anywhere near as comfortable as my old elite's and the sole is terrible too, i keep slipping in the wet. I wear my boots every day as a PC and need to trust my boots which i don't at the moment so i am going back to magnums as soon as i can decide which ones to go for. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/892/magnum-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/892/magnum-elite/ Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:35:28 +0100 What a great set of boots, I hardly had to break them in, just slipped them on and was able to go out into the field and use them in a wide range of activities immediately, They are the most comfortable boots I've worn in along time and they last years even when worn most days in the week. Well worth the spend. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/890/worth-the-spend/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/890/worth-the-spend/ Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:37:04 +0100 After being in the motor trade for over 24 years,12+ being roadside and rescue patrol been looking around for boots that are light,tuff, and most important must be soft sole, want to feel i am walking on air,so far tried lots of other makes but been let down,feel like i have been running over 100 miles a day,feet hurt, one of my friend just bought himself pair of magnum boots and swears by them being best on the market hands down,so i thought i do some research before i decide to buy a pair. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/889/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/889/boots/ Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:41:34 +0100 boots are really comfortable, I wear them for mountain walking in snowdonia, north wales. I even borrowed my son a pair to come out walking with, these are the best boots I have ever bought or worn.

Most of my colleagues have Magnum Boots, they say that the specialist or elite series of Magnum Boots are comfortable and have great stability, the grip and movement control are superb and the soles last unlike the SWAT's.I'd like to test how good these Magnum Boots really are instead of hearing it from other people.

They are more of public order boot, however i regular wear them during a normal working day. I find them extremely comfortable, despite their rugged look and find they are also very effective as a general patrol boot. I am a very big supporter of adequate ankle support with my footwear and there boots provide that. Jumping over walls, running, or just simply walking you will have no worries about nasty ankle twists with these boots. They have a rugged, black matted look which makes me the envy of my shift members as they are so noticeable compared to other brands of boots. There isn't much else that i can say about these boots, except to say: GET OUT THERE AND BUY THEM!! Thanks Magnum for a wonderful, comfy, rugged boot. Pete http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/876/magnum-shield-80-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/876/magnum-shield-80-wpi/ Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:32:02 +0100 Hello folks, I decided to pop and submit another review as i have had my Elite Force boots for nearly a year now and they have been through alot. I still feel as if they are the best boot out there for general patrol and they really do feel like trainers when i am walking around. A number of times during the year i have had to run through fields, marsh, jump over walls, etc etc (all in a days work) and i just cant praise the boots enough. I don't want to feel as if i am walking around with large weights on my feet do i!!! Sometimes i forget i am wearing them, they feel so much like trainers. Another very important part of the boot is it's ability to keep the feet cool during hot summer days and the fact that they just slide off at the end of duty without having to be forced off. The Wpi technology is something which has to be seen to be believed. My colleagues can't believe when after a rainy day my boots are still dry, and i mean COMPLETELY dry. Magnum have really pushed the boat out with their research and got this absolutely spot on!! I will continue to wear them with pride, each and every day at work. Thanks Magum for such an excellent all round performance boot!!

I had lots of blisters and hot spots on my feet, something i do not normally get. i think the boots would do better with a decent insole for better comfort and possibly a heel grip. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/873/magnum-spider/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/873/magnum-spider/ Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:11:37 +0100 these bootsb are the best ive ever worn and ive worn alot of boots from military issued bellevilles to original swat and no boots have ever been this good to run in or walk long distantces and did i mention theyr nearly 10 yrs old and still got a few miles left in them i recommend magnum boots 210% http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/872/stealth-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/872/stealth-boots/ Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:56:21 +0100 I purchased my first pair of magnum classic boots in 2000, when I became involved in the ACF and other activities in 2005 I purchased a new pair of magnum boots knowing there reliability and quality to withstand daily use, I swear by magnum boot and use mine every day http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/871/magnum-every-day/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/871/magnum-every-day/ Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:07:40 +0100 Hola a todos, me gustaria compartir con ustedes y a la vez agradecerles el haber producido botas de muy buena calidad y confort, empece a usar las botas ya que hace diez meses me fracture el tobillo derecho, tengo tres cirugias en el tobillo, llevo dos tornillos y un clavo en mis huesos, las botas convencionales me cuasan muchos problemas ya que no logro el ajuste necesario, pero desde que me calce por primera vez las elite spider, no he parado de usarlas, la verdad estas botas son toda una maravilla, muchisimas gracias...!!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/870/botas-magnum-las-mejores-del-mundo/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/870/botas-magnum-las-mejores-del-mundo/ Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:31:35 +0100 i think these boots r the best u can get i wear them for 15 hours a day 6 days a week. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/869/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/869/great-boots/ Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:28:38 +0100 I've bought a pair of Magnum, they are still serving me during my mission abroad, right now......Winter, summer....every day.

They stand up to everything I throw at them, from climbing lighting truss high in the air at a concert venue to assaulting the enemy across a river in a dense forest. Top notch footwear!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/864/magnum-and-me/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/864/magnum-and-me/ Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:11:13 +0100 Last year (2009) I bought a pair of Magnum Vipers from a local store in Johannesburg (RSA). A couple of months later the sole of the boots started to become loose. I tried to glue it together but it did not work.. Again I tried to glue it. The boots started to fall apart from each other. I have sent the boots back to the shop but did not get any reply. I love wearing Magnum boots. It is light and comfortable and I believe that the pair I bought was just a poor manufacturing fault for that specific boot. I would love to purchase another pair but what would you prescribe and what can I do to claim a replacement http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/863/dissappointed-in-magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/863/dissappointed-in-magnum-boots/ Fri, 09 Jul 2010 10:06:18 +0100 I wear magnums in my job 4 days on and four days off. When im at work its a 12 hour shift nad on my feet for most of it, and i never have foot ache whilst wearing them. I have had quite a few pairs and always been pleased wearing them. They last for some time cause after a while they feel like slippers . http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/862/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/862/magnum-boots/ Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:39:44 +0100 I use these daily at work and have used them for running in the Royal Navy field gun competition. Very comfy, good shock absorbtion. I've also used the Desert Scorpion in Basra, which were also very good. A lot better than the standard issue boots at that time. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/861/scorpion-black/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/861/scorpion-black/ Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:48:30 +0100 i have had a pair of Magnum Classics since 2002, got them when i joined the RAF. Then I used them when I joined the air cadets as a member of staff and now use them at work as a chef. They are still in good condition. Would definitely buy them again. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/860/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/860/magnum-classics/ Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:40:35 +0100 I have worn Magnum boots for many years in the Emergency Services and not only are they very comfortable but they have worn excpetionally well. More importantly if I had not been wearing my Magnum boots there are several emergencies in which I would have had significant damage to my feet. The safety protection is second to none. I will never switch from Magnum http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/859/magnum-boots-are-the-best/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/859/magnum-boots-are-the-best/ Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:59:11 +0100 I am an electrical contractor and have been for nearly twenty years, I have 1 pair of Magnum boots that I wear daily because unlike ordinary boots I find these comfortable to wear! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/858/comfort/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/858/comfort/ Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:24:41 +0100 Hey Guys, I have been wearing my Magnums (precision S3) for over 4 years now and I must say, What a product! My other brand shoes didn't last a year in the rock and roll. With my Magnums my feet survided 4 years of rock and roll. Climbing trusses and scaffolds, getting bumped over and over by flightcases, getting smashed by all kind of objects. Stepped in nails, truss pins, a lot of glass and all other stuff that lays on a rock and roll concert floor. I even use them for rope acces activities. In 4 years i never had any wet feet, there really really good waterproof. They are so good, It hurts to decide to look for a replacement pair. :-( They finally gave up on me. The soles of the boot are covered with holes, look's like mice are living in the soles of my shoe :S and there are huge gaps in the side of my shoes. getting wet socks with every drop of rain. Thanks magnum for making these wonderfull shoes. I really enjoyed wearing these. I hope i will find a good replacement for these, they will be definitely magnums ;-) Greets: Marius Dik Event Technician http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/857/magnum-precision-s3/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/857/magnum-precision-s3/ Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:40:49 +0100 Still really shocked at how good the magnum classics are even after 2 years of using them. Just wore them out for a run and they were very comfy and had plenty of ankle support. Took slightly longer to break in, but once I'd worn them for a while, i had kick-arse results. Really happy with that purchase, especially as they had such a low price as well. Great basic boot. No problems what-so-ever. I have recommended these to loads of people, absoulutely suitable for anyone. They are slightly higher than the stealth force 8.0 that I have, and are slightly tougher round the ankles at first, but still, after the first couple of days, i had no problems, and even breaking them in wasnt that tough. 8/10 for a great, practical, "does what it says on the tin" boot. It could only be better if they were waterproof. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/856/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/856/magnum-classic/ Mon, 05 Jul 2010 17:22:22 +0100 I wear Magnum boots every day for work , best pair boots ever worn http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/855/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/855/magnum-boots/ Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:20:20 +0100 A video clip of me trying on my new boots and using them to walk around Cambridge, England. The boots are comfortable and give a smooth ride on the ground. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/854/my-first-walk-test-in-cambridge/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/854/my-first-walk-test-in-cambridge/ Sun, 04 Jul 2010 20:06:18 +0100 It's a funny thing isn't it....when we come to choose our footwear. No one wants to pay through the roof for an expensive pair of boots, (especially in my role as a police officer, we take our boots into some disgusting places) yet we all want top quality and total comfort. This is where Magnum boots come in. I started my Magnum ownership as a special constable in 2005. I bought a pair of Magnum Elites. My feet have never been happier. I still wear them now. After 5 years of pounding the streets, 4 of them as a full time police officer, my Magnum's are only just starting to show the signs of age. In my oppinion, 5 years of use everyday is excellent. But its not just the length of service that I have recieved from my Magnum's. They are the easiest boots to wear I have ever had the pleasure of walking in. Extreme comfort, breathability and warmth in winter my trusty Magnums have served me well. It's a shame really that I am thinking of replacing them, I feel that a little part of the last 5 years will be laid to rest. Still, I am confindent that I will still be a Magnum owner for many years to come. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/853/magnum-owner-since-2005/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/853/magnum-owner-since-2005/ Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:38:41 +0100 my self and fellow sappers swear by this product http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/852/most-comfort/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/852/most-comfort/ Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:03:18 +0100 OK so having spoken about my e bay bargainsand as I am soon to start cycling pretty much full time during my working day, it was time the CEN short calf got pulled out the cupboard, ideal for this task as I hate the work issued "bowling style" cycle shoes. So this week just gone I was on a weeks holiday and off up to Scotland to visit relatives so what better way than to combine this with my love of walking and breaking in the boots. Friday we stopped at Bamburgh beach to let the dogs stretch their legs and walked for miles on pretty much empty beaches. Due to the extremely hot weather I loose tied my laces and didn't go above the holes. Wearing only trainer socks at the conclusion of a 5 mile walk I now had blisters around the back of my heel level with the ankle. Conclusion(s) my fault as I dont normally wear "short" boots, failure to lace properly and inappropiate socks. That aside a testimony to the fact I didn't notice the blisters until I got back to the car and took the boots off. Ok so as the week progressed the shortest walk 5 miles. The terrain very varied, three parts of the Fife coastal path completed mostly along the beach. Falkland hill attempted but abandoned due to swarming flies which drove all nuts including the dogs, so the walk was confined to the shaded wooded area with "dee"t usage in abundance. Tentsmur Point another beach walk and a long grassed field walk near Newburgh. Pitlochry river walk, forest trail, bog walk and deliberate river crossing, well following the dogs and didn't have time to worry about taking my boots off. Throw in a few town walks in the tourist spots and it all adds up to a varied bag and about a hundred miles walked in total. The Magnums got no special treatment and look sorry for being covered in both fresh and sea water and there are seeds caught around the laces and tongues but apart from the negatives mentioned yet another great testimony to Magnum footwear. They are broken in and will be polished for work once they have dried out naturally and the newspaper pulled out. As for a "testers" video I repeatedly said I must video this and then got side tracked by the view(s), wildlife or the dogs so sorry nothing to post again other than words. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/851/magnum-cen/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/851/magnum-cen/ Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:33:49 +0100 A great pair of boots, the lace system is very good although I would prefer it if they had a little bit more ankle support http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/850/magnum-amazon/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/850/magnum-amazon/ Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:28:34 +0100 I have Tabbed (TACTICAL ADVANCE INTO BATTLE) numerous miles in my elites! they are amazing boots and are extremellym light and comfortable! best boots on the market by far!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/849/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/849/great-boots/ Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:35:09 +0100 Its never nice being outside all day with the harsh, wet, Winter weather, and the same can be said walking around in the scorching Summer sun. So, how do I keep my smile that makes myself approachable? Something vital in the world of EMS! The answer lies within my pair of trusty pair of Magnums Patrol CENs! Whilst it doesn't stop the other areas of my body being too cold or too hot, my feet are comfortable, a great thing too, considering i'm often on Patrol, walking around for long periods of time or standing whilst I am at base. Its not just temperature, the fantastic grip and stability provides me of the reassurance of running ahead on different terrain, in order to reach a patient. The fact that they are resistant to water, oils, acid and alkalis makes me proud inside that I wont be parting with my Magnums anytime soon, something which I have suffered with other boots from other brands! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/848/the-patrol/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/848/the-patrol/ Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:00:22 +0100 Always ready in the back of the car, i know they won't let me down. these boots contain a bit of "Thermos flask" magic, they keep my feet warm in the winter, yet not sweaty in the summer - how do they know? these boots have been with me for about 5 years and after a quick wipe with a damp cloth after a long duty in a muddy field they look like new again. not only are they comfortable, but its a comfort to know that my toes will be safe from the dropped tool and protected from my collegue's dodgy trolly bed driving. I'd definitly buy another pair, if and when these ever wear out!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/847/marvellous-magnum/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/847/marvellous-magnum/ Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:39:23 +0100 Used these out again today. they were GREAT despite the baking weather, they are extremely breathable so i had no problems even going for a run. Great fit, and no blisters. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/846/stealth-force-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/846/stealth-force-80/ Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:46:13 +0100 An all round effective part of personal equipment. Comfortable, safe, stylish and up to any job that you put before them http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/845/the-dbs/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/845/the-dbs/ Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:24:33 +0100 Hiya =] i have been using the steallth force 8.0 for 2 years now and am proud to say i have had no problems at all. Part of the problem i have when buying boots its that i have a club foot, and therefore my left ankle is not as strong as my right. Therefore i tried out the stealth force 8.0. From the word go i had no blisters or uncomfortable pressure around either of my feet. They are not waterproof however, the support they give my ankles is amazing. I have also used them on exercise with the army cadets which involved lots of physical activity in my boots. I frequently run in the boot and have so far experienced no problems with blisters e.t.c. However, i have had a problem where one of the cloth eyelets has snapped. However, Magnum were brilliant about this and sent me a new pair of boots out straight away which i was very greatful for. So all in all i would give these a 9/10. The only thing that would make these better is if they were waterproof and did not have cloth eyelets.

I used this product (Magnum Boots Elite Force 8.0 WPI) for a week day and night working and walking through rocks, mud, sand, vegetation from 9am to 6pm, and i have never feel so comfy with other boots. I really apreciate that the tecnology used for the military and policemen is available for civilians that need dry, comfortable and really good value boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/843/orizabas-peak-survey/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/843/orizabas-peak-survey/ Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:28:35 +0100 I work in TV as a cameraman, not such a hard job you might think but I am often in some inhospitable places, one day I could be filming with the military, walking for miles over rough terrain and the next filming an interview with a celebrity at a an exciting venue. I need a pair of boots that protect my feet on a hard days shoot, that look smart enough for most occasions and as I am on my feet all day, often 14 hours or more I need comfort and reliability. Thats why I use and recommend Magnum boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/842/tough-boots-for-a-tough-job/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/842/tough-boots-for-a-tough-job/ Sat, 26 Jun 2010 11:10:24 +0100 These boots are really comfortable to wear and although a little heavier than other Magnum boots the added protection they offer with the steel toe caps is great. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/841/magnum-protector-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/841/magnum-protector-boots/ Sat, 26 Jun 2010 09:07:42 +0100 Today I was delighted and honoured to take delivery of a pair of Magnum Elite Force 8.0 wpi boots and you can see my unboxing and comments about them using the link to my images below. The boots are beautifully constructed and as one would predict and expect from Magnum, very light compared to comparable footwear. They are immaculate, not a mark or manufacturing defect anywhere, it seems a shame to mess them up by wearing them, they're near art! Looking at them they do have a hint of 'Bat-Boot' and that's only to the good because Mr Wayne knows his kit ... ;-) Included in the box is a useful leaflet explaining how to preserve the water-proofing courtesy of the 'Ion-Mask' treatment that covers the boots. Basically just use a damp cloth or light brush to clean the surface. No KIWI polish on these items then. Next ... wearing the Elite Force 8.0 wpi and comparison the Magnum Classic that is my current daily foot ride. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/840/and-so-it-begins-elite-force-80-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/840/and-so-it-begins-elite-force-80-wpi/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:00:44 +0100 I saw Your action on the web about boots testing, Well...I would like to buy Magnum Ellite Stealth Force 8.0. A friend of mine said, that Magnum Boots are indestructible and confortable as well. I'm curious about quality and performance of your product, especially ION MASK feature - looks interesting. Moreover the design of boots is awesome-it looks light and fits tight ;) So, anyway I'm going to buy Stealth Force 8.0 , or meaby I wait till E.F. WPI going to be available in Poland.

I I want to buy your boots, but here in Serbia there are no new models! They're really nice but I was very sorry that there are no new model of ion-mask! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/838/greeting/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/838/greeting/ Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:24:55 +0100 I've worn many pairs of boots over the years and without doubt Hi-Tec Magnum make the best. I bought my first pair of Classics in 2004 and the following year spent 4 weeks walking at least 20 miles per day in Japan in great heat. The boots remained comfortable and sanitory. I wear my Magnums on an almost daily basis, certainly over 95% of the year and I walk a lot and drive a lot but they always remain comfortable. I've owned 4 pairs of Classics (2 pairs in storage for future use, purchased in case they went out of production) and a pair of Elites (really good). In 2008 I returned to Japan for 11 days with my partner Sue and we both wore Classics. The attached image shows our pristine boots on the day we left and our less than pristine boots on the day we returned! They never let us down in the sun and rain despite again, 10s of miles per day. These are the best footwear I've ever owned and I predict I'll wear Magnum boots for the rest of my life.

Blood, vomit and all the other bodily fluids that go hand in hand with being a Paramedic, are just hosed off back at the station after a shift, dried and then a coat of polish on the toe and they are ready for another 15 hour shift. But if i had to give one word to describe why I love my Magnums.....COMFORT!

Once you own a pair you will never go back! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/834/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/834/magnum-classics/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:25:55 +0100 My magnums are now five years old and show no sign of wear, they are worn almost every night for a minimum of eight hours and are still very comfortable, my organisation could provide me a new pair but Ive refused because they are stiil ok to wear, one day they will wear out i suppose but im due tio retire in four years time, maybe ill order a new pair before i go http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/833/my-old-magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/833/my-old-magnum-boots/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:32:20 +0100 In my job as a paramedic, I can go into very different environments in the same day. From walking across farm fields to city centres, I need to wear something that will give me maximum grip and maximum protection. My protectors do exactly this, and I would not wear any other make of boots. Their non slip qualities have been endlessly tested, and never once have they let me down. They remain watertight 3 years after i bought them. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/832/my-pro-tectors/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/832/my-pro-tectors/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:43:05 +0100 I have had my pair of Magnum Elite Spider 8.0 for nearly 3 years now and they are far and away the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I served in the Army for 6 years before becoming a Prison Officer in 2007 and therefore I have a good knowledge of safety footwear! I chose the Magnums on the recommendation of some of my new colleagues and I read some reviews on these new boots. They are incredibly lightweight which make long hours of standing and walking around a dream and I can honestly say that I have never had any form of pain or discomfort in my feet whilst wearing these boots. It feels like you are wearing a pair of trainers and the Vibram soles are excellent and much more flexible than standard soles which make running in them very easy. All in all, these were a great purchase for me and I am now on the look-out for the new models which I am sure will give me many more years of service. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/831/my-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/831/my-magnums/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:18:08 +0100 Recently purchased a pair of Magnum Stealths from the Base kitshop here in CFB Wainwright and this is my initial impression of the boots. Fit - Fit is very good and hug the feet very well and there is very little movement of the foot inside the boot which is a good thing to consider with boots. Appearance - Boots are very good looking if one can call boots good looking, finish is very well done and takes a shine nicely should you wish to shine them. Comfort - these boots are perhaps the most comfortable boots I have ever worn, the M-PACT system absorbs a lot of the impact from walking or running on pavement which my kness certaily appreciate. the rounded heel is a nice touch as well as its easy to roll the length of the foot without hard corner normally found on most boots getting caught up creating tripping hazard. There is a hollow cut out on the back of the boot to allow the back of the calf to move into giving the wearer a little more flex and stretch which is the first I have seen on any boots I have been issued/ purchased to date. Cons - so far the iggest oen to date is with that hoolow on the back of the boot, the dust guard on the unifrom pant has a tendency to untuck itself and creep out of the boot, one will need to monitor and retuck to avoid the Sgt - Majors wrath. An excellent choice of boot for base/ urban wear. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/830/magnum-stealth/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/830/magnum-stealth/ Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:31:07 +0100 I am now on my third pair of Magnum boots in 7 seven years. Mine have seen hazardous duty from the blistering Heat in Oman to sub zero temperatures in the Falkland Islands. At every stage, my boots have come through. They've been deployed with me at sea, soaked in seawater on a regular basis, but after a complete rinse in fresh water and left to dry naturally, they have maintained their shape and strength. These boots may have lasted a lot longer in "normal" use, but in the armed forces, there is no such thing as a "normal" day. My latest boots have the circular side zip and this makes them a breeze to remove if the laces are soaked in water and bound in there holes. The MPACT inner sole is comfortable for extended use and the additional odour protection from the Ag-Ion treatment makes the boots a less offensive item in the cabin if cast off after a day of beasting. Each pair is like an old friend. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/829/magnum-stealth-force-80sz/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/829/magnum-stealth-force-80sz/ Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:30:25 +0100 I gotta say these are the best boots around. I have had mine since i was a 14 year old police cadet and now a serving police officer. September will be 11 years that i have had my Classics and they are still going strong, still keeping my feet warm in the cold and cool in the heat. Wouldnt go for any other boot. I have another pair for official parades as they polish up quite well. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/828/11-years-of-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/828/11-years-of-magnums/ Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:43:32 +0100 i wrote recently about my introduction to magnum boots, after finishing basic training and being transferred to my unit, it,s so obvious to everyone that you,re a rookie just by your kit alone, as all the boys who,ve been there for a while have adapted as best as is possible within the confines of uniformity to make your kit as comfortable and what my corporal in basic training used to say stuck . it was in a loud voice "look after your bootsand your boots will look after you" but at the same time wondering why his boots werent standard issue, at my billet the boys to a man were wearing magnums and after a week of wearing standard issue i was too, this was in the mid eighties and the boots that were the norm were 8inch leg and had a stitched toe cap which was usefull at kit inspection as you could bull it up as you would with your standard issue. but the thing that sticks in my mind about that 1st pair of magnums was just how soft and comfy they were and they stayed like that till the sole wore out, my next pair were quite similar to todays classic cens ,though not as waterproof as todays boots. a large part of my time is spent on my motorbike and 95% of the time the magnums are just great as a matter of fact they have better feel than my £240 alpine stars motorcycle boots, with each pair of magnums i,ve had from the first to my now 2yr old pair which are just about on their last legs, it was obvious from each successive pair that they had improved and evolved,it could be from anything from reinforced lace eyes to a better innersole or padding in the tongue, but the evolution is there for all to see. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/826/the-evolution-of-magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/826/the-evolution-of-magnum-boots/ Mon, 14 Jun 2010 02:09:36 +0100 i wear mine for my job, as an engineer i'm mobile during the day.very comfy and a pleasure to work in them, a very worthy purchase. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/825/nice-footwear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/825/nice-footwear/ Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:14:37 +0100 i am on my second pair of magnums, i have been wearing them everyday in my job for the paste 10 years and they have never been bad always goos. i do a lot of walking around on different terrain and they are the most comfortable footwear that i have found http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/823/my-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/823/my-magnums/ Sat, 12 Jun 2010 20:19:10 +0100 A short video on my initial impressions after taking the Magnum boots I've received as a gift from a photo contest. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/822/magnum-elite-force-80-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/822/magnum-elite-force-80-wpi/ Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:36:03 +0100 i use my boots for duty there very good for patrolling and manning the main gate very light weight and keep my feet comfortable for my duty of 12hrs http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/821/magnum-spiders-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/821/magnum-spiders-8/ Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:24:08 +0100 I have worn Magnum boots almost every working day since I was 16 years old (9) years, I have never found a problem with any of the boots I have purchased. I keep buying Magnums because of their superior comfort, ability to mould to the wearers foot, support of ankle and spine, weather proofing and all round versatility for each wearers individual needs. The leather is soft and robust, strong and durable and the soles are so comfortable you forget you are wearing boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/820/magnum-boots-wear-the-best/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/820/magnum-boots-wear-the-best/ Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:08:08 +0100 After 3 months I found these boots exceeded my expectations in most areas but could benefit from a couple little tweeks. Also bear in mind, I wear my boots to work at least 8 hours per day, five days a week. As a result, I've had a pretty good amount of wear time. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/819/elite-force-wpi-80-3-month-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/819/elite-force-wpi-80-3-month-review/ Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:56:20 +0100 having spent my work and leisure time in the great outdoors for many years now, i'm begining to think that i may never find a pair of boots that i can use in a work scenario and yet pull them on and take a yomp up a miuntain in several feet of snow. over the years i've destroyed many boots of many brands; Dr martens, Grisport, Technica,Caterpiller, even a pair of Lowa! personally i'd like a pair of boots with a reinforced toecap when resurfacing access paths on the moors etc but comfy enough for six hour fellwalking sessions, immersed in mud all the while. the current record stands with the Grisport- they lasted 2 years before the seams split. i'd be interested to see how magnum boots compare. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/817/will-they-rot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/817/will-they-rot/ Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:22:53 +0100 By first impressions, I mean I literally just got my test pair of Elite Force WPi out of the box four hours ago, they arrived at 11 am this morning. I feel it's just as important to review these boots the first time you try them on as it is after spending 6 months with them. I'll start with the packaging, which is where my experiences began; I wasn't sure at first whether I would get sent basic test packaging, or full retail packaging. The outside of the package was wrapped in a plain grey bag with Hi-Tec logos printed on it, plus an inexplicably ominous DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED sticker over it; pretty drab. I assumed I was getting plain packaging, but as I cut it open I saw the familiar brushed metal-style logo over the box. I opened it up and as I expected both the box and interior packing was very well done - Magnum boxes are printed on all sides and that alone makes them fairly sturdy and water-resistant. All the necessary information was marked on the outsides, and it was all generally very nice and neat. On the inside, I noticed that the plastic waterproof bags my previous pair of Magnum boots were packaged in were now not featured, although I have more than enough faith that the boots could keep themselves dry in transport anyway. They were lightly wrapped in some kind of grease-paper though, and that was probably protection enough from humidity &c. Rest assured, my boots arrived in completely pristine condition and I would expect any other Magnum delivery to be the same. The only other remarkable part of the packaging was a printed message from chairman Frank Van Wezel on the box inset, 'personally' thanking me for purchasing my boots, which I didn't. Sorry Frank, this one's on your credit card. Before I actually put the boots on, a took a quick look at the details. Here are some things that I noticed that aren't explicitly mentioned in the boot specs: -although not mentioned in the rundown, there is actually still some toe protection, although it isn't exactly a full toe-cap. It's still pretty good. -on the tip of the toe and end of the heel there are some sets of grooves set in the sole, presumably for climbing both up and down hills safely - nice feature! -the heel plate is surprisingly large - it's useful all the way up to the beginning of the ankle. -shaped into the ankle pads at the top of the cut is a dip that comfortably lets your foreleg flex backwards, also a welcome feature. -the bootlaces are very nice, very strong. Actually trying on the boots was a nice experience: as I expected, they were extremely rigid at first but straight away they fitted my foot very closely, and basically all of the breaking-in process so far has just been giving the ankle support some flexibility, and learning how tight I should lace them. Walking is very comfortable and natural, I haven't tried running in them yet. Despite the reasonable weight of the boots, they feel very light on your feet because the mass is spread very evenly over your foot. Two things I would like to mention is that walking with them while they are breaking in produces a dull crumpling kind of sound in the leather; it's expected but quite significant compared to Ion-Mask untreated boots. The Vibram outsole also produces quite a lot of squeaking on certain hard surfaces, but I'd imagine this will subside after I take them outdoors and treat them to some abrasive surfaces. That's all I have to write about for now, but after using them for a while I'll follow up with a better overall report about how they actually stand up to proper outdoor usage. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/816/elite-force-first-impressions-test-pair/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/816/elite-force-first-impressions-test-pair/ Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:16:47 +0100 One day 10 years ago I bought a Magnum Boots, after that every thing was different in my life!!! The Best Boot Ever! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/815/the-best-boot-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/815/the-best-boot-ever/ Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:00:23 +0100 I have worn Magnum boot's for over 20 year's, having been in the Prison Service and then in the Private Security industry they have fulfilled there role with out a fault.. I would recommend Magnum Footwear to anyone. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/814/everyday-wear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/814/everyday-wear/ Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:23:20 +0100 I don't have the usual girly type job, not many of us work in industrial electroplating. its an eight hour, standing on your feet kind of job, so boots have got to be comfy for me as i'm wearing them for at least fourteen hours in a day. ( come on fella's, i have to do shopping and run around after the hubby as well before i can get my slippers on, and no, they're not pink and fluffy! ) Great for on the motorbike as well as walking the dog in all weathers. Good job they have memory foam because they remember the way back from the pub too! I always recommend them to friends I know who are in similar jobs, and all of them have bought magnum again after trying them out. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/813/one-for-the-ladies/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/813/one-for-the-ladies/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:32:45 +0100 I bought my Magnum Stealth Force 6.0 Leather CT CP as work bootd to replace my Magnum Patrol ST's I have worn Magnum boots all of my working life (Ten Years) and they have always stood me in good sted however I am a little disapointed about my Stealth Force boots. The laces are passed through a cloth eyelet at the point that the ankle flexes this is a weak point and dispite me taking great care when lacing the boots up this eyelet has eventually worn through. I am impressed by the non steal reinforced toe which means i can wear my boots through airport security however the edge of the toe cap is fast becomming tatty and a wear point Magnum have a look at these points for the future apart from that good boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/812/stealth-force-60-leather-ct-cp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/812/stealth-force-60-leather-ct-cp/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:22:33 +0100 I have now tested these boots for several months and as a police officer I wear them on a daily basis for 8 hours or more. They are very comfortable and light which is extremely important when wearing them for this length of time. I do however find them a little on the wide side across the foot and if they had been a little slimmer fit they would have been absolutely perfect. The other thing I love about these boots is the fact that they are only 6 inch rather that the longer 8 inch which is very important when you have small feet and not very long in the legs! Overall really pleased and looking to purchase another pair. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/811/magnum-patrol-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/811/magnum-patrol-boots/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:10:35 +0100 I have been wearing Magnum boots for work for over 15 years now, have always been impressed with their durability, looks and above all stability. Thought I would try a lighter weight model (Magnum Patrols especially can get a bit heavy over a long day) so got myself a pair of these lo-cut Spiders. Here are the good points. What a delight on your feet from the first minute of wearing, feels like they have been broken in for you already. Light as a feather, could wear them all day like a pair of running shoes. Unlike many running shoes, they are so breathable there is no danger of sweaty, smelly feet even in the warmest climes. These boots do, however, have one minor and one major drawback. The laces provided and lace up system are iiritatingly prone to loosening themselves, no matter how carefully you do them up. There is a serious issue around the sole on these boots. They have extremely poor grip on hard wet surfaces, such as flagstones or tiles; if you put your foot down on the outer edge of the soles this grip is virtually non-existent and makes for quite a dangerous boot. For everyday "knocking about" boots they are ok but for the above reason, I would not recommend them for any more serious use. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/809/magnum-elite-spider-50/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/809/magnum-elite-spider-50/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:21:14 +0100 As an instructor with the army cadet force my MAGNUM boots have seen lots of use and abuse, from pounding the drill square, fieldcraft and even adventure training, the 6 years of use is apparent only by looking at the soles which have been worn very thin, the uppers are still as solid as the day i got the boots,which is in its self testament to the build quality of these superb boots, My cadets have often asked which boots they should invest in, and i have told them time and again "MY MAGNUMS are MY favourite boots" I still use my MAGNUMS for climbing because they are so light and comfortable, (almost like slippers), I would not hesitate for a moment before recommending MAGNUM BOOTS, and im looking forward to investing in another pair in the not to distant future.

They are extremely easy to clean and polish so ideal to maintain easily. The sole is hard wearing and look like they have not been touched. Laces are still strong and show no form of strain or tear. On one of my boots the sole that finishes near to the toe cap has come away slightly, nothing major, just the rubber peeled away a touch, but a spot of super glue will do the trick. No leaks caused and generally soild all round. Padding in sole is really good, and helps for very long hours on your feet. Still recommend the boots, if there's anything I haven't covered that you want to know about, then please let me know. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/807/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-17-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/807/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-17-review/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:41:52 +0100 I live in a dangerous world. A world where you can never tell where the next threat is coming from. In this world you need a pair of boots that are light enough on your feet to quickly skip past danger and yet tough enough to take the punishment for your feet if you fail. They need to be able to keep the water out, the gallons and gallonsof water. Yes, as a Scottish guy with kids you need these boots. Lego can hurt when you stand on it without them. And never mind all the reviews about hiking ect. Have you seen the potholes out there? Bad footwear can really stop you in your tracks and one thing that potholes love is rain. Yip, the evil things fill up on the stuff and then lurk there looking like an innocent puddle just waiting to eat yout foot. Fight back, Magnum!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/806/dangerous-world/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/806/dangerous-world/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:02:51 +0100 Absolutely fantastic boots would not want to use any other boot than Magnum whilst on duty Steve - GMP police officer http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/805/magnum-elite-spider-8-inch/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/805/magnum-elite-spider-8-inch/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:19:30 +0100 I work for a U.S Government Law Enforcement agency and have twenty years! I am a firearms instructor, less lethal instructor and tactical team member. When I first started with the agency, military surplus boots were the norm. I bought a legacy pair of Hi-Tec Magnums and began to where them! Soon most of our officers were wearing them! Never thought I'd be a trend setter! I wear magnum brand on and off duty, with my newest pair of boots at home now! I'd hope because of my influence, my agency now issues Magnum boots, with many selecting them as their duty boot of choice, this year! Keep up the great work! Bravo! God bless! Most respectfully john http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/804/trend-setter/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/804/trend-setter/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 01:40:18 +0100 Took my ageing Magnum classics out for a spin near Walesafter a pretty much solid day of raining. I knew before hand that my boots could probably take on any mud I could find, or so I thought. Both my lower legs got stuck in something like a mud quick sand thingie and it took me 1/2 an hour to untie the laces so I could pull my feet out of the hole and thus escape the mud. To best solve this problem it is my belief that Magnum should add jet packs to the bottom of all new boots :D http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/803/stuck-in-the-mud/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/803/stuck-in-the-mud/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 22:10:32 +0100 These are a fantastic pair of boots and well worth the price, even though you'll probably need a new pair every 18 months if you use them as often as I do. They're still fantastic and do the job perfectly. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/802/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/802/magnum-classics/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 22:07:15 +0100 Im a crewman in Sunderland lifeboat and need a pretty diverse boot. Mine get wet often in Sea water they take a daily beating in my day to day activities such as getting the boat ready for launch and they have never let me down once. A 100% quality item i would recommend to anyone for anyones uses http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/801/magnum-patrol/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/801/magnum-patrol/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:54:40 +0100 Having worn magnum boots almost every day for the last 3 years I can honestly say I have never worn a better boot. They provide great reassurance over both tarmac and uneven ground. They offer comfort and my feet never feel too hot or cold. They have coped very well in snow, slush and heavy rain and have only once after eight hours in very heavy rain let in water. I recently damaged my ankle whilst on holiday and not wearing my boots and when I went to the doctors they were quite happy that my magnums would offer as much support to my damaged ankle as having it strapped up. The soles are wearing down now after a year of almost constant use so I just need to make my mind up as to which magnum I go for this time. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/800/best-boot-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/800/best-boot-ever/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:41:16 +0100 After an amazing 3 years my 'Magnum Classics' have sadly retired, but not becuase they aren't suitable, but because my feet have grown. So now my classics have been handed down to my son and he says they are as comfortable and rugged as ever. As a Security Dog Handler, my boots have seen lots of action, averaging at 20 miles of walking a week, lots and lots of running, climbing over walls and fences, running through massive puddles, moving through thick mud and dirt and even cycling a bicycle! There is no doubt in my mind that my Magnums could do so much more and as soon as I get some new ones I will be sure to do a review on them. Hopefully I get a free pair!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/799/long-service/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/799/long-service/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:10:38 +0100 Magnum boots have been tried and tested by the best of the best ( British armed forces) and have always come out on top, i still use magnums in civvy street for both my jobs, vehicle recovery and door supervisor, due to there durability and comfort, i've had others but always come back to magnum. they just can't be beaten on quality and price http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/798/best-of-the-best/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/798/best-of-the-best/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:44:56 +0100 I bought a set of these ages ago now and at 1st i thought they were like heaven...then i began training in them and lets just say...PAINFUL! I like the idea that the insoles are shaped but this for me proves a problem. Not everyone's feet are the exact same shape. Although the boots fit my feet perfectly, the shaping gives me almost severe hotspots for the long distances i walk. No matter how much i wear them in, they do not want to wear in. The majority of the boot is fine but around the heel it comes away from the foot too much making my heels very prone to blistering. Because of these problems I feel I have wasted a considerable amount of money on some boots that I actually need but cannot use. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/797/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/797/magnum-classics/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:39:37 +0100 I wear a pair of Magnum Boots that I have worn for many years now. They are the most comfortable footwear that i own. I have now been told that I must wear Safety Fotwear on duty and am stuggling to find a pair as comfortable as my magnums http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/796/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/796/magnum-boots/ Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:06:48 +0100 I am a marine engineer and own a boat building company so my footwear has to deal with salt water, chemicals, heat, cold, highly abrasive surfaces as well as some of the least abrasive !!! I purchased a pair of Hi-Tec Magnums What is now the classic some 6 or 7 years ago now and have worn them 7 days a week since, yes sad but true as I work for myself I have to put in the hours. Unfortunately after all of these faithful years of service the sole literally wore out !!! but to put this into perspective I had a pair of doc martins before and they lasted only 3 months !!! I will be looking for a new pair of magnums, I once had to come up with a slogan for a product many years ago now and I think it suits my old Magnums perfectly ............... " For Performance and Protection its Perfection" http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/795/years-of-faithful-service-come-to-an-end/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/795/years-of-faithful-service-come-to-an-end/ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 21:20:12 +0100 while deployed on operations last year, i wore the desert issued magnums on long convoys in a wmik, as a top cover and founf the support and comfort they provided was more then people say, having size 14 feet with history of broken ankles through sport they really did more then what they said. and every one i know deploying i always recommend them as well as local police officers. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/794/op-herrick-10/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/794/op-herrick-10/ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:39:11 +0100 bought my Magnums about 5 years ago, still going strong. Very comfortable, It's like wearing slippers to work ! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/793/comfy-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/793/comfy-boots/ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 09:19:00 +0100 I bought my Amazon Boots 2 years ago when I started my deployement in Afghanistan, and they have had to face with a very hard life for almost 2 years here: sand, rocks, water, snow and ice and a lot of dust and sun haven't done anything to them. After 2 years of hard use i can really trust on this brand Magnum. I cope with my boots using rubber and hard brush and sometimes i wash them in the wash mashine witha very soft detergent. Just to conclude, if you need a very light, breathable and reliable pair of boots for hard use, don't esitate buy only MAGNUM. I can't do anything without theme anymore, I wear them to hike, to practise hard gardening at home in addition I use them also to ride my motorbike. I will never change them even if they are very scraped and old, unless Magnum will send me a new pair of them as a gift ;-) Anyway thanks as well, the best present has been already done, giving to my feet the possibility to wear comfortable boots for two years.

I never got athlete's foot unlike my other pair of boots I was given. I'll be using them again on my next tour! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/791/issued-hot-weatheramazon-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/791/issued-hot-weatheramazon-boots/ Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:58:17 +0100 I have been purchasing and wearing Magnum boots,in various styles,for 17 years,at about 4-5 pair per year,I have owned between 65 and 85 pairs.I absolutely LOVE Magnum boots,and WILL NOT wear other brands.In all my years,I have only had 1 problem boot,and when presented to the compnay,was provided a replacement,without issue. A lifelong relationship has been established and will continue for as long as Magunm makes and sales boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/790/boots-rule/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/790/boots-rule/ Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:01:28 +0100 When I deployed to Iraq in 2003 I didn't get issued any desert boots so took my trusty magnums with and I am so glad I did. They were strong, comfortable and most of all they kept my feet cool and in good condition. While other boots didn't perform well my magnums were superb and if it wasn't for the fact they were stolen I would not have had a problem through out my tour of Iraq. The army dont seem to issue them now which is a great pity as they are the best boots I have ever had issued by the army. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/789/best-boot-in-the-desert/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/789/best-boot-in-the-desert/ Sat, 05 Jun 2010 09:20:48 +0100 I have had approx 10 pairs of Magnum boots since i started my career as a prison officer and have found them to the best, always up to the job and never letting me down. I have tried a few pairs of SWAT boots and Doc Martins but they just dont have the light weight flexibility of the Magnum. They are also excellent in the wet, the tread dispells the water like a car tyre so when running to incedents in the jail in the rain they never fail to keep me from slipping. The toe cap is comfortable and does not cut into your toes like some boots and they alway polish up beautifully and for those special occasions the will even bull to a high gloss shine as i found out while on parade in London on remberance sunday. I love these boots and will continue to purchase them for as long as i need a comfortable, smart and hard wearing tactical boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/788/the-best-tactical-boots-in-the-world-bar-none/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/788/the-best-tactical-boots-in-the-world-bar-none/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 22:13:59 +0100 i recently purchased a pair of magnum elites and they are awesome i am in the armycadet force and as i am a senior cadet i do a lot of running around and keeping order my feet were so good and comftorable. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/787/magnums-are-freckin-awsome/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/787/magnums-are-freckin-awsome/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 21:14:43 +0100 I recently recieved these boots after anxiously waiting for my online order. I wowed when i got them it was like christmas morning i put them on and started walking around in them then i picked up the pace and started running with them. The Stealth force 8.0 are the first pair of mangnum boots i've had but they are simply the best. The boots themselves are as light as a feather and extremely comfortable i run with them just like i run with my running shoes on they're ideal for cadet activities i participate in all the time. Another good feature about the magnums is the ankle support as well as the protection to my feet they offer. The boots in my opinion are also stylish but edgy at the same time. Often at army cadets i either need to run or do some sort of physical activity which involve my feet , my pair of stealth force 8.0 are there for my feet always when i need them. They also look good on parade nights and special events when i need to march for long periods of time. Magnum in my opinion and I believe in the opinion loads of people magnum is the best hi tec footwear brand in the world. Due to my experiences with the Stealth Force 8.0s http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/786/stealth-force-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/786/stealth-force-80/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 21:10:49 +0100 the first boots i got were old second hand assault boots worth £15 after 5 months of army cadet parade nights, cadet weekends and events my feet were suffering i needed to find a pair of boots that were both comfortable and durable. I looked all over and my search led me to the well trusted magnum brand. I had seen a pair of magnum boots in action and i quickly realised the high tech boots were just for me. I ordered a pair of Stealth Force 8.0 online i waited anxiously for my boots to arrive and as soon as they got to me they were on my feet. I couldn't of made a better decision in buying magnums they cured my feet. They are what they say on the box essential equipment http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/785/why-i-bought-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/785/why-i-bought-magnums/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 20:39:30 +0100 I wear my magnums on nearly all my combat fitness tests and i find them so comfertable especcally when i cometo running.at the end of the day it's no blisters no problems http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/784/combat-fitness-test/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/784/combat-fitness-test/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 20:22:11 +0100 I have had quite a few pairs of magnums from the ankle style to long boot and all are very comfortable and easy to wear. I would like a lighter version with the same level of protection for the summer and also for the boots to be completely waterproof as quite often even when the boots are new they let the water/rain in, One other comment would be for those of us with a narrower foot- could there be a wide and narrow foot version??? All in all, they are great boots, very comfortable and the newer memory foam insoles are great! Keep up the good work! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/783/magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/783/magnums/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:57:09 +0100 iv had one pair of magnums for at least 4 years now, they've been everywhere with me, through my cadet career doing at least 400 miles in road marching competitions, in my primary job as a care worker they have never let me down, i have had patients run over them in heavy duty wheel chairs, lifting equipment, i have even had my feet trapped in a lift and my magnums have held on and kept going and going. I have also volunteered with the police as a special constable and i have used them on the beat and i have never got a single blister even after chasing a suspect for half a mile, my feet didnt even tingle which shows the reliability, versitility and durability of these boots, a must for anyone who wants a well wearing, durable and reliable boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/782/flawless/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/782/flawless/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:47:25 +0100 boots are great, they're not to heavy but give plenty of support and great to wear for long shifts http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/781/comfiest-boots-ive-had/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/781/comfiest-boots-ive-had/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 16:26:48 +0100 The best boots i have ever owned and wore. I have had them for 4 yrs and they still look like new, the most comfortable boots that offer the protectin that i require in my line of work http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/780/classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/780/classics/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 07:40:53 +0100 Just purchased a pair of Magnums...I've tried on countless pairs of steel toes trying to find a good fit for narrow, small feet is difficult! The Magnums I purchased seem to have the best fit so far so I'm looking forward to having them out in the field! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/779/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/779/new-boots/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:27:31 +0100 Specifically, the 'Leather Magnum CEN' model which is not directly listed on the UK site so I am assuming it is a variation of the Classic CEN, or not listed for other reasons. (For clarity, it differs from the 'Classic CEN' model in that it is composed of full leather rather than leather/nylon, and the top section of eyelets are replaced with metal D-rings. There are probably some other differences, but for basic reference that is the specific design of the boot). I first found the Magnum boots that I ended up buying while searching online for a pair of boots that would withstand the rigors of the mid-distance (9-12 mi) hikes I take part in regularly, at a fast pace, but simultaneously a pair of boots comfortable and practical enough to wear at school, around the house and during general life. This led me rapidly to an eBay seller dealing mostly in Magnum footwear, and within a few days my boots had arrived in excellent condition (very impressive packaging standards! Even the box felt like it had been designed and built with love). A few months later, I am more than happy with my footwear - they have fulfilled their purpose and more. Build, design and overall function, as well as the low-profile black finish with essentially no tacky additions make them equally comfortable grappling a fifty degree hill in Derbyshire as in my school where they are solidly comfortable to wear for seven or more hours. The interior and sole design are particularly nice - my previous boots let me down as the lining tore and fluffed after a couple of months of use, but the Magnums use a much more conservative and hardy design, with a firm but comfortable ergonomic insole which hugs the entire foot comfortably, while allowing flexibility. Some 'comfort' oriented shoes can feel flimsy and spongy inside, while the Magnum interior has a firm solidity which allows one to apply abrasion tackling hard walking, safe in the knowledge that the interior will stay intact and comfortable. Moisture wicking lining is a welcome bonus in the summer weather. The boot is not without its minor cons, but overall the boots are intensely reliable and relentlessly hard-wearing against the elements, as well as being extremely fine for general usage, saving me the inconvenience and cost of having to buy two pairs of shoes. Overall, here is a breakdown of the boots' properties; PROS (some of these not mentioned in the general review, but here they are) -very solid, comfortable and practical interior that doesn't let you down -composite toe cap & heel plate is a very sensible addition, mine show visible scuffs and scratches where I have banged and tripped against various jagged rocks and harsh materials, which otherwise would've been left to the integrity of my boot and subsequently toes to handle -very attractive but restricted all-black design -marvellous dual-function use, saving me money and time -water resistance is very impressive for plain leather, neither car washing nor wet forests has been able to dampen the interior CONS (ditto above) -the D-rings are not extremely manageable overall for lacing; this leaves me to decide when putting them on is really worth it -'breaking them in' was a long process, measurable in days - can be expected for full leather and carbon rubber soles, but regardless there were some parts of the boot which were uncomfortable for a long time, expecially the metal inside of an eyelet on the lower part of the shoe which stabbed my upper foot -there really aren't that many cons..! Thank you Magnum, and by extension Hi-Tec, for providing servicemen, law enforcement specialists, and the common layperson such as me with such brilliant boots for such a long time. (Hopefully) attatched is a hurried and unflattering photograph of my workhorses, replete with dirt, scratches, and unmistakable signs of outdoor exposure.

When we did a 15 mile hike the day after my feet felt comfortable , not like my old boots which were cheap.I am glad my mum bought me Magnums because when we got back to camp my mates had blisters ha ha not me, http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/777/field-camp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/777/field-camp/ Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:20:01 +0100 Well almost 2 months now since I took delivery of my new boots. I'm still over the moon with the comfort and grip. I have now returned from the South Atlantic and am enjoying some nice rest before my shifts start once again next week in the UK. As stated in my last review I have recently tested these boots on slippery deck conditions off the Falkland Islands. The grip was outstanding and it gave me much more confidence whilst balancing on a pitching ship in very trying conditions, another plus was the quickness that these lightweight boots actually took to dry out when back on dry land. This was a quality I liked about the MCT boots I used in the past for deck winching however the Magnum spiders surge into the lead with the superior grip and extra ankle support. So to summarise so far these boots have served me very well in some harsh South Atlantic conditions for the past 2 months. They are extremely comfortable, very lightweight yet still provide adequate ankle support. For an exremely light boot they still provide very good insulation and warmth when operating in the cold. They have tremendous grip and are at the top of the league when it comes to performing on slippery wet surfaces. I must add I have only used these in the wet with a goretex inner sock connected to an immersion suit, I have used that combination with other boots in the past and it works just as well with the Magnums. I am now about to start back at work in the summer months of the UK and will continue to leave reports on my findings. It will definatley be interesting to see how they perform in the heat but to be honest I am quietly confident. These are definatley boots designed for ultra active proffessions and I am confident you will not be dissapointed. Apart from an initial slight discomfort for the first day or 2 on one of my shins I have absolutley no negatives to pass on. Here's hoping the boots continue to impress, my seal of approval is well intact. More to follow...... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/776/urban-spiders/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/776/urban-spiders/ Thu, 03 Jun 2010 23:01:33 +0100 The comfiest, day to day patrol boot. They are light and breathable, yet waterproof and very protective. I have also worn them on exercise and the zipped sides come in extremely useful for quickly putting them on and taking them off. For any occasions where booted runs come into play im always a step ahead whilst wearing them due to the fact that it feels more like wearing a trainer than a boot but still with the confidence of the protection they give you. You have to try them to fully appreciate the feeling. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/775/511-atac-tactical-series/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/775/511-atac-tactical-series/ Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:46:09 +0100 Having owned a number of magnums of the years I have to say that I have never worn such an easier pair of boots, lightweight, durable and extremely comfortable Highly recommended to all, no matter what your field of operation these are an invaluable bit of kit http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/774/simply-the-best-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/774/simply-the-best-boot/ Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:04:25 +0100 I've worn magnams every day for the last 20 years (not the same pair-they'd stink by now) as part of my civvie job as on duty with the Army and i can honestly say they are the best boots you can own without paying a fortune. Light weight and waterproof, ideal for out doors stuff of all types. Can't praise magnams enough. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/773/comfiest-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/773/comfiest-boots-ever/ Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:16:37 +0100 I have not personally used Magnum boots but through the Army Cadet Force I know a lot of people who do. Every person I have spoken to has said that they are the most comfortable boots they have EVER worn! The only reason that I have not bought a pair myself is that I didn't know about these boots! I bought a pair of Mil-Com boots instead and that was only March last year but already they are very worn and actually a little bit tricky to clean! The next boots I'm going to get are defiantly going to be Magnums. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/772/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/772/great-boots/ Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:02:54 +0100 being a cadet, i have to have a strong pair of boots that will last me in rain, snow and during dield craft, i started off by buying a pair of german parrar boot but after alot of field craft and in about 2 - 3 months the bottom of them began to brake, so my mates always kept saying get a pair of magnums and when i finaly did, i was amazed by how strong they where, they also polished very well after being out in the field but after a year i out grew them and sold them to a friend of mine and hes still using them now. so they have been in good use for a couple of years now and still as strong as ever http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/771/being-a-cadet/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/771/being-a-cadet/ Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:58:41 +0100 Hi All Joined last week when I was looking to buy a pair of magnum boots hear in Mesa Az for my 19 year old son. I am a home inspector hear in the valley and have been wearing my boots to work for two years. They have been a great boot.

Before that I was introduced to them during my army service. I have never found a more comfortable practicle boot for any of my needs. I now keep my old ones for those dirty jobs at around the home. Anyone that has to wear a boot on a regular basis should look no further than Magnum !!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/769/the-classic-finest-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/769/the-classic-finest-boots-ever/ Mon, 31 May 2010 18:12:31 +0100 comfortable hard wearing easy to clean what more do you need in a boot http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/768/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/768/magnum-boots/ Mon, 31 May 2010 10:42:33 +0100 having served as a police officer for over 12 years i can say the best boots by far are Magnums, tested to the limit and then some, comfy, hard working it's like wearing ninja trainers, they do the job. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/767/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/767/my-boots/ Sun, 30 May 2010 20:28:30 +0100 i have worn magnum boots since i was 15, a pair of classics i inherited from my dad, and since then i have neaver looked at another brand of boot. these lastes about a year and a half on top of the 9 months my dad used them, they whent through water, mud, ice, snow and a few unmentionables too, and they still pollished up enough to be used on parade!!!! that was until they where cut off in a bike accident, fortunately i was wearing them, if i wasnt i could have had way worse than the 3 broken metatarsles. i than moved on to the stealth force 8.0. WOW!!! what a boot, i remember first putting them on and thinking i was like walking on air, they have been put through the same trials as my previous boots and are still going strong. i can do a double shift or a 4 day hike in them and still feel like i only just put them on. they are truely fantastic!!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/766/magnum-stealth-force-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/766/magnum-stealth-force-80/ Sun, 30 May 2010 17:15:09 +0100 in my job,im on my feet all day,i have tried other boots but they werent up to the job,so i went to a outdoor shop and i bought magum boots,to this day they are still going strong and still as comfy as well,in addidttion i will be wearing magnum boots while doing a 50k walk in oct http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/765/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/765/magnum-boots/ Sun, 30 May 2010 10:32:29 +0100 I have been wearing magnums for about twelve years now, almost from their inception and acceptance as wear for tactical medics in the UK. Almost slipper like, there have been some poor imitations who simply have not matched the standard set by Magnums. They have evolved in response to the operators needs and still look smart enough for functional uniform wear. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/764/tacticalmedic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/764/tacticalmedic/ Fri, 28 May 2010 20:30:58 +0100 i walk at least 6 miles a day and magnums are comfortable and fit for purpose.I wouldn`t buy any other brands. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/763/police-community-support-officer/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/763/police-community-support-officer/ Fri, 28 May 2010 18:23:09 +0100 working a 12 to a 18 hr shift i find them so confable to ware i only buy magnum boots every year they are the best http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/762/magnum-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/762/magnum-boot/ Thu, 27 May 2010 22:21:27 +0100 i have recently borrowed a pair of magnums from a friend for an 8 mile tab and have never had boots this comfortable for running and marching. will definately be buy my own pair. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/761/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/761/magnum-boots/ Thu, 27 May 2010 20:33:54 +0100 These are my opinion the only boots i would every buy, i have used them since being issued some through work, and when my new employer did not issue magnum, bought a pair to use, so comfprtable after a 12 hour shift they are still comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/760/in-general/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/760/in-general/ Thu, 27 May 2010 14:29:12 +0100 I HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH AND BOUGHT MAGNUM BOOTS FOR MY JOB.

We had been walking all day and got to our base camp where we all stopped for a rest. Everyone was sat around and began taking off their boots. As cries of 'ouch' and 'look at that blister' rose, I was the only one sat silently with my feet still in my boots as they were so comfy and I did not have one blister... I was the only one wearing Magnums! They lasted me the whole camp and I didn't need to complain once. Best boots ever! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/757/best-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/757/best-boots-ever/ Wed, 26 May 2010 11:57:43 +0100 Its important to find good footwear when you are on your feet all day...especially if you have had a knee injury and this particular foot wear looks like it has the support and comfort that I would need to be on my feet for long periods http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/756/good-footwear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/756/good-footwear/ Wed, 26 May 2010 10:01:15 +0100 I've been involved with the military for around 5 years now and never worn a pair of Magnums. A shock, i know. A risk - most definitely, considering I'm posting this on the global Magnum page! I've always seen other people with them but never set off on a tab with a pair on my feet. Sure they look the part, and they seem to hold up, but i cant help but feel they are somehow not up to the task! but i guess the guys out on the ground are still wearing them so they must have something going for them . . whats the chance of being sent a pair to field test? Well, we'll have to 'wait out' on that one . . .

My only regret was ishould of worn them when a first joined, would of saved alot of suffering. Wearing Magnums can only be desciribed as heaven for your feet, they are comfy from day one and no matter what you put them through after a wash and polish they look like new. What more can i say only for those who are serving "get youself some Magnums, you be glad you did!" http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/754/class-of-their-own/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/754/class-of-their-own/ Tue, 25 May 2010 16:48:25 +0100 Prior to my current employment I was in the Military for over 20 years and their boots were always heavy and hard to run in over nay length of time. The Magnum Elite Spider 8.0 are a very comfortable boot to wear every day, As they are based on a running shoe, and they are also very light in weight and it is so easy easy to respond to any alert codes within my new employment with speed when required. The wear well, normally last approx 18 months, then I use the boots around my back yard when mowing as during summer I encounter a number of snakes and I have the advantage of fleeing or fighting. I recommend these boots to anyone who would like comfort, agility and speed. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/753/magnum-elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/753/magnum-elite-spider-80/ Tue, 25 May 2010 13:30:18 +0100 Quite simply the best boots i have ever owned, not that theyve worn out for me too buy any new ones! use them all the time, for pretty intense use, in Cadets and out rambling in the hills. Will be using them when i eventually sign up for the RM commando's. you can get a decent gloss on them as well, which is always good to keep the NCO's off your back! keep up the good work. cheers Ed http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/752/in-a-league-of-their-own/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/752/in-a-league-of-their-own/ Tue, 25 May 2010 12:47:54 +0100 I thought that I would write to ypu guys hearing that your boots are the best, I'm not currently wearing Magnum boots as I get provided with other companies boots but I would like to try your boots as I work 12 hour shifts and wearing a more comfortable, better boots would be great to try as I can compare them to others that I have tried. If I could could be a field tester down under and tell everyone how good Magnum boots even if they are on the other side of the world. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/751/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/751/boots/ Tue, 25 May 2010 00:07:16 +0100 I bought a pair of Magnums in Canada in 2004, I have worn them extensively andf still wear them now, although I use them to paint in now, they are stil going strong and keep my feet feeling good whe I am up ladders doing telecoms work or painting & decorating.

I currently own "Vipers". They're not bad I suppose, but I'm looking for something a little more.. Professional.

I used them when I was in the TA here in the UK doing FIBUA / OBUA ( FISH ). I've left the TA but Airsoft as often as possible and continue to wear them on the skirmish field I've always found them light weight hard wearing and comfortable and always gives me confidence no matter what I am using them for. The good lady indoors works for the Police and I'm slowly convincing her to get a set for herself Bottom line is i've never been let down my Magnum boots & have no trouble recommending them to anyone http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/741/why-i-wear-magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/741/why-i-wear-magnum-boots/ Fri, 21 May 2010 16:02:55 +0100 Well I was first looking for a pair of boots for doing outside camping, hiking and more things like that. A friend of mine told me to have a look at the Magnum Boots. He told me that he bought a pair some time ago and was very happy with them. A bit confused, I went to a shop and decided to see the differences between Magnum and other boots around. Magnum are lightweight, functional, waterproof and the price is not so expensive for the use we want to do. After some indecision, I deceided to buy a pair, a new pair of Ion-Mask, black model (what else for outdoor activities ?). Now I am very happy, it took me some hours to get used to the model and now I am going to use a pair at least durng some time. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/740/magnum-boots-ion-mask/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/740/magnum-boots-ion-mask/ Fri, 21 May 2010 12:45:38 +0100 I've worn many brands of boots during my 10 years of EMS but the Magnum 6" Stealth Force Zipper Quarter Boots are the best. Fast break in. easy to get on/off, durable, lightweight, I wanted a good summer boot to wear and these are it. I bought the regular width for my narrow foot and it fits perfect, I can wear regular socks and not have to worry about blisters or sore feet, or my feet getting to hot. I bought the same size I wear in a running/excersize shoe and it fits perfect. Great boot, great product, I'll buy again.

I have to wear the silly brown rigger boots and looking at your boots i would be able to move more freely whilst not looking like a clown in my current boots Cheers Roy http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/737/testing/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/737/testing/ Thu, 20 May 2010 10:02:16 +0100 Ive had a pair of Stealth Force boots for nearing 4 years now, they're getting tired. I used to wear them all the time at work, but have tended to save them for the colder months as they are superb at keeping the old tootsies warm, Water proof they are not, but keep them polished and staying out of puddles puts off the inevitable. I am saving them as the Security section I work for within a large (citywide) Educational Facility has decided to "save money" and buy us inferior boots. The fact that these do not last as long as Magnums and need replacing twice as often has not entered their calculations. I am negotiating a cash payment to the tune of the cheap boots so I can put it towards a new pair of Magnums. The Mother's advice to her daughter of having a good bed and a good pair of shoes hold true for a security guard too. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/736/stealth-spending-reforms-dont-make-sense/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/736/stealth-spending-reforms-dont-make-sense/ Thu, 20 May 2010 07:39:20 +0100 Hi, I thought I would write a review of these boots so far after having only owned them for 1 week and the fact that I found it very hard finding any reviews for these boots at all on this site. First day I got them they were comfy but they did need a bit of wearing in, although they were still comfy. Driving in them felt on at first but now getting used to it as the boots are slowly breaking in. After having them now for a week, they are really comfy, very light for boots, the non slip grip on the sole is excellent. And the boots also look great. If I could have afforded them though, I would have gone for the ion mask ones just because of that added protection. Overall would say great boots so far and hope they last me years to come!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/735/magnum-stealth-force-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/735/magnum-stealth-force-80/ Wed, 19 May 2010 18:28:57 +0100 I remember wearing Hi Tec footware way back in the early 80s & did I get picked on due to them NOT being Addidas or Nike. Now look at Hi Tec though, No1 Boots for Most of the world & still they deliver. I think that makes me pretty much a Life long Hi Tec wearer & another reason why I appreciate the design, the comfort & reliablity of wearing Hi Tec & Magnum boots. Now I`m just a lowly Full time parent (dropped outta the rat race to be a family man) and when they were little & in the chest rigs or back packs Magnums were always my choice of reliable footware for grip & safety for me & thus to the child. We`re now expecting our fourth child But our First son & once again Magnum`s will be the ONLY footwear of choice or one of my Hi Tec trainer boots when using the chest rig/back pack. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/734/oh-another-thing/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/734/oh-another-thing/ Wed, 19 May 2010 14:18:48 +0100 I`ve worn Magnum boots for too long really. First off I`m a UK size 13 to14 (depending on footware) & these were the only one`s I could find originally that were comfortable. Since then it`s been GREAT. When I worked for Royal Mail, I wore my own Magnums over the Royal Mail issued Dr Martins. When I worked in Security & Retail Security again Magnum Boots. You get a solid grip, some with steel cap toes, Very Comfy & at the end of the day smart too. Hell that smart once wore my Magnum`s to a wedding with my suit HAHAHA http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/733/magum-boots-are-a-must-have/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/733/magum-boots-are-a-must-have/ Wed, 19 May 2010 13:59:44 +0100 Having served in the armed forces, I have spent the majority of my working life wearing boots. Thus qualified, I was impressed when I received my first pair of Magnums, comfortable and warm they shrugged off the elements as I trudged around 13 sq miles of property. 6 years and hundreds of miles later, they are getting pretty worn. The Security section within the Educational Facility I work for in it's infinite wisdom has decreed that Magnums are too expensive, and are now issuing a vastly inferior product. Please Please Please can I be a tester for the new Magnums? I don't want to wear nasty cheap boots! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/732/magnum-blues/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/732/magnum-blues/ Tue, 18 May 2010 21:17:07 +0100 I have been wearing magnum classics for about 6 months now i wear them for working and for riding my motorcycle they are the most comfortable and warm pair of boots that i have ever bought . my boots are generally on my feet for about 16/18 hours a day and i never have aching feet or sore ankles art the end of the day http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/731/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/731/magnum-classics/ Tue, 18 May 2010 16:15:15 +0100 I've been using these for months at the officer military college of the UK, Welbeck DSFC. So far they have proved excellent on field exercises, keeping my feet warm and dry. Most importantly, they are far lighter than the issued boots we usually recieve, allowing me to run faster and longer in them. Also, they can easily be polished to an inspection standard which means I can wear them in all military activities. Altogether, the Stealth Force 8.0 is an excellent boot and I will certainly be purchasing another pair of Magnums in the near future. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/730/magnum-stealth-force-leather-80-ct/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/730/magnum-stealth-force-leather-80-ct/ Tue, 18 May 2010 16:04:42 +0100 I wore magnum's every day on both of my tours and in everyday to day work on the tank park they offer the comfort ans support I require. So I don't have too worry about my feet weather on op's, exercise or on duty in camp I know my feet are in good shape thanks to the sheer comfort and robustness of these boots.

I've been told by friends the Magnums are the best and P**s all over the Oakleys. I wanna see if this is true http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/725/the-challenge/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/725/the-challenge/ Sun, 16 May 2010 19:24:47 +0100 I have use a few different boots out of the Magnum series and can honestly say I would never wear anything else and that if I were wearing any other boot I would think that I would have real trouble with the ability to walk. I work all types of areas from building site's to corporate offices and regardless of what im doing and where, the Magnum boot always provides. They look smart under trousers and even better with a pair of combats attached to the top. They are very easy to clean if ever required and a comfort level unlike any other. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/724/16-hours-a-day-6-days-a-week/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/724/16-hours-a-day-6-days-a-week/ Sun, 16 May 2010 11:17:17 +0100 I currently own a pair of Magnum patrol boots. I think they a brilliant and that is why i'm writing this review. I wear the boots for 10 hours a day, they are comfortable and have lasted for 2 years so far. They are coming to the end of their life but i must say these boots have lasted well because i really have put them through their paces. They are great to wear in all weather, they are waterproof so keep you feet dry. The Magnum patrol boots were fantastic during my training because they polish brilliantly and you can get a real high shine when bulling the toe.

Magnum are a Top class product and a great buy for anyone looking for quality footwear, they are as comfortable as a pair of slippers and hard wearing in all conditions. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/722/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/722/magnum-classics/ Fri, 14 May 2010 17:43:41 +0100 I bought a new pair today price was good less than $90 including tax but the store I went to was rude & not helpfull at all!! I dont know if I will return to that store any time soon.

Over the years i have had numerous pairs of magnums and they have never let me down. I an a NZ soldier and until recently the issue boots have left much to be desired, the magnum boot was and still is the alternate footware choice for thr nz military.At the moment i have 3 pairs of magnums a pair of stealths for everyday, a pair of elites WP for those cold and wet nz winters on exercise and a pair of tan elite spiders, they all serve me very well. I am about ready for another set of boots and my 1st choice, Magnums!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/713/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/713/magnum-boots/ Thu, 13 May 2010 06:11:50 +0100 ive had my boots for 2yrs now ,they are the magnum elite 11 8 leather sympatex,they have been worn every single day from new,they are now coming to the end of their life but still on my feet,the insides are going but thats a minor detail,they are comfortable to wear,i think the only time they have seen any polish was the day my daughter got married,i would recommend these boots to anyone who spend alot of time in boots and on their feet,these boots have been totally abused from going to punk gigs,digging the garden,soaked in sea water,covered in diesel and vodka not to mention the bodily fliuds what more can i say,best boots ever http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/712/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/712/my-boots/ Wed, 12 May 2010 19:50:05 +0100 Had new boot's for about a month now they are very comfortable wear them 5 day's a week with no aches or blister's from the time they come out fof the box http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/711/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/711/new-boots/ Wed, 12 May 2010 19:48:26 +0100 I purchased a pair of magnum boots for the Nijmegen march in Holland (and the preceeding training) and have never looked back. The first time I wore them was on a 42km tab carrying 15kg of weight and they were amazingly comfy. My old issued boots ripped apart my feet even after being worn -in but these were fantastic on first wear and have only improved over the many thousands of kilometers I have done in them since, even to the extent I would rather wear these than trainers after the day's walk. The waterproofing is also superb as it has copped effortlessly with marching through small streams and many days of rain! If you are looking on here you obviously are looking to buy a pair of boots and I promise magnums are the best around and are a very reasonable price! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/710/best-thing-i-ever-bought/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/710/best-thing-i-ever-bought/ Wed, 12 May 2010 16:29:32 +0100 absolutely brilliant ...very comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/709/my-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/709/my-magnums/ Wed, 12 May 2010 08:57:11 +0100 First of I have to say they look amazing. I have had so many comments on my magnums saying "Epic Boots man!! "etc. They are outstanding! Second, because I got the leather version my pair are waterproof, there are ones that come with mesh instead of full leather and there not waterproof. And the least note, and the Main note these boots are sooo god dam comfy as soon as I put them on they are just amazing, they mould to my feet, they have a slight bounce to them and they are very lightweight. these are a must buy for boot owners GET SOME!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/708/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/708/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp/ Tue, 11 May 2010 22:45:05 +0100 I have worn your boots over many years from the early years! I wore patrol/combat boots in the T.A. and then i wore the hi tec trails i had one brown pair and one grey pair they were comfortable and lasted me along time! I also purchased many magnums throughout the 90,s and had very few problems! My last pair lasted 3yrs and they came in very handy doing Airsoft and wheeling around my wife in her wheelchair! Always been a favourite of mine! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/707/excellent/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/707/excellent/ Tue, 11 May 2010 22:06:06 +0100 In the 3 and a half years I have been working in Security I have only had two pairs of Magnum Boots. Cheaper non-magnum boots that I have used in the past have fallen to pieces within a few months. My first pair of Magnums have been kept as spares and have nothing wrong with them apart from a worn tread due to heavy use. The second pair that I bought were a lightweight version which suited me as I was on my feet all day - these weighed less than my trainers! These have now split on the outer seams on the sides due to the flexing of the foot - but after 40 hour weeks over 18 months I cannot complain at all. I would reccomend Magnum to anyone, they do exactly what you require - keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable, with the durability to stand the test of time... They haven't let me down yet. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/706/durability-test-of-time/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/706/durability-test-of-time/ Tue, 11 May 2010 12:29:09 +0100 Been using this pair of shoes since long in jungle terrain and urban terrain, found them to be very comfortable and stable in cross country movement over long distances. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/705/stealth-force-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/705/stealth-force-8/ Tue, 11 May 2010 05:08:48 +0100 hey i have a pair of magnum boots which ive had for about a year now and i find them really comfortable and because i wear them for work pretty much all year round they are easy to run in and when in the field they also dry out really quick i reckoned them to anyone really http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/704/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/704/boots/ Sun, 09 May 2010 22:15:43 +0100 great boots but soles wear too quick an now have split the uppers http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/703/phantoms/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/703/phantoms/ Sun, 09 May 2010 22:08:09 +0100 Firtsly I want to say that i wear these boots daily to undertake my role. They have not let me down. I have purchased other boots in the past (in an ill advised effort to save a couple of pounds) but these have failed for a variety of reasons from not being supportive to my ankles throught o getting waterlogged. In 16 years of being a police officer I have yet to find a more comfortable or reliable item of clothing. Keep pushing the specification up and you will enjoy even more success in keeping the guardians of safety mobile.

I have heard a lot about them and people are always mentioning the name Magnum but without my trying them I could never give fair comment so I would love to try a pair and then give my fair and honest review on the boots as after all my review could help other people with their choice of boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/701/excellent-quality-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/701/excellent-quality-boots/ Sun, 09 May 2010 13:22:36 +0100 I get boots issued through work, but after a while I always return to good old faithful Magnums http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/700/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/700/great-boots/ Sun, 09 May 2010 10:54:31 +0100 i wear my magnums every day since i broke my ankle in them. walked around for 2 hours at work dint relise it was broke just thought it was sprained until i took my boot off http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/699/best-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/699/best-ever/ Sat, 08 May 2010 23:25:20 +0100 I have been waring magnums now for approximately 10 years,they've never let me down. I walk to work every day, in all weathers, i ride a motorcycle and my magnums have taken it all, and come back for more!! i have never worn another brand boot, and never will while there are magnums on the market. I have complete confidence and respect for my magnums. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/698/why-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/698/why-magnums/ Sat, 08 May 2010 13:52:50 +0100 i do a lot of climbing and extreme sports, mostly involving places your not allowed to go so i rely on my equipment being reliable, Thats why i use magnum boots. they take the abuse nature gives out and whatever i add to that! to the extreme! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/697/amnimal/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/697/amnimal/ Sat, 08 May 2010 12:50:45 +0100 I bought a pair of Patrol Boots with the side zip because of easy access when going through the Metal Detectors at work. I could have worn my issue shoes/boots but much prefer the added ankle support given by my Magnums. I wear these boots 4 days on then have 2 days off. Even on my days off I wear them for about 2 hours whilst I go for a walk around the training area outside my house. The Magnums tend to last me about 6 months which I think is great for a pair off boots that get so much wear. I have no problems in recommending these type of boots to my work friends. Only downside at the moment is my local stockist takes a little time to supply as I live in a garrison town and have to beat the squaddies to the shop before they are sold out. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/696/security-officer-heathrow/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/696/security-officer-heathrow/ Sat, 08 May 2010 09:53:45 +0100 the boots that i wear i just the ticket for what i use them for they are comfortable and good to run in http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/695/magnum/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/695/magnum/ Fri, 07 May 2010 21:51:07 +0100 I've never had a pair of these boots, but I am willing to try a pair and give a review on them, I need good boots for my job, as an ex soldier and now a deer stalker/Ghillie in the Highlands of Scotland, I know what it's like to rely on good boots http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/694/good-quality-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/694/good-quality-boots/ Fri, 07 May 2010 11:11:37 +0100 I work in a technicial service centre for a UK IT reseller, where the job requires me to be presentable and also safe when it comes to my feet. Delivery pallets and the occasional tool drop go hand in hand with being on my feet all day and appearance. I selected the Patrol ST boots and for the last year I've been comfortable, protected and presetable. If you need a boot for any professional field that requires protection, Magnum is the way to go. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/693/used-and-abused/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/693/used-and-abused/ Fri, 07 May 2010 09:20:14 +0100 i found my magnums light weight, very comfy and great value for money http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/692/light-weight/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/692/light-weight/ Fri, 07 May 2010 09:17:12 +0100 i work outdoors everyday traversing all types of terrain and whilst my boots are very comfortable, even after only 1 year i am having to carryout repairs to the synthetic material,sole and the front toe guards (which are detatching from the leather) i am looking at getting the new waterproof stealth boots http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/691/magnum-spider/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/691/magnum-spider/ Thu, 06 May 2010 22:38:09 +0100 brought other makes and nothing else compares cant wait to get my next pair, http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/690/dont-go-anyware-else/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/690/dont-go-anyware-else/ Thu, 06 May 2010 19:23:22 +0100 Used to wear these in the Army and these are really comfy and these days swear by them for walking/trekking http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/689/army-days/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/689/army-days/ Thu, 06 May 2010 18:14:08 +0100 having had several operation on my feet and not being able to wear normal issue boots, i purchase my own. having tried many types i have found these are the comfiest that i can find. even after 12hr shifts they are still comfy. they are lightweight and quite hardwearing. it is a pity these are not issue boots, but worth the money http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/688/magnum-elite2-and-spider/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/688/magnum-elite2-and-spider/ Thu, 06 May 2010 07:43:22 +0100 taking these awesome boots out in the field again.

After 12 years in the british army i wouldn't buy any other high leg boots. i have recently gone back into security and door supervision as well as vehicle recovery work, these boots take a real hammering being used nearly all day and most of the night 6 days a week. Have also used the hitec high leg safety boots, these would be just as good with the canvas sides http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/685/hi-tec-magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/685/hi-tec-magnum-classic/ Wed, 05 May 2010 11:15:48 +0100 I'm on my feet most of every day working in a large furniture store/warehouse as the H&S/Security Specialist. I need to respond quickly to a number of different situations, which can involve a short sprint or a more steady run through the store depending on what I'm responding to. I've found Magnum boots to be the best available as they offer support when and where I need it when dealing with incidents, yet are light enough to wear while sat at a desk or teaching members of staff first aid, manual handling, and a host of other subjects. I've tried a number of different types of boot, but have yet to find something that offers exactly what Magnum boots do. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/684/top-quality-comfy-and-safe/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/684/top-quality-comfy-and-safe/ Tue, 04 May 2010 23:13:06 +0100 After a gap of 15 years I am back in Magnums! I first bought a pair when in the UOTC at Northumbria, Newcastle... back in 1992/1993 - yep one of the Mark1 Magnums!!!! Loved them to bits, Otterburn, Catterick, Salisbury Plain, Brecon, all the way to Sandhurst.... Cough, after 5 years they suffered a fatal demise when the rubber under the bridge of the foot un-stuck and refused no matter what glue, to stick. Too many tactical river crossings - or too much Brecon! After a long break from Mil. now back with ACF running cadets, 18 months in, and now with my own detachment. I have Lowa's but they are too heavy, too expensive and to bulky for parades and the gentle weekends that Cadets undertake... 17.5 mile walk the "severest" so far, and that was a doddle in my Magnums! Lowa's left at home for pose value only. So I purchased a pair of Magnum Response's for a pittance - although now out of production, I am impressed with the quality and fit of the boots. To the point where I am wearing them to work, not just to Cadets. Parade nights a cinch, note I am an old RGJ - so no to bulling, yes to black and clean. Bull**** can stay with the Guards. Part of my work consists of me visiting my many Academies nationally, meaning a lot of trains and more walking than I would like in a 3 piece suit around London. Again, the Magnums have been more than comfortable tabbing around to and from the school sites and underground stations. No problems so far. No comments about a 3 piece suit and Magnums.... must look the part - black & clean! Only concern I can foresee is the strength of the zip, so good to see later zip models have gone to YKK zips. At some point I have got old & fat as I now prefer to use the Zip rather than having to tighten the laces. All in all - Happy days.... with a sense of humour ;) http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/683/magnum-response-8in-zip/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/683/magnum-response-8in-zip/ Tue, 04 May 2010 20:27:11 +0100 I have been wearing magnum boots for the past seven 97) years now, it has never let me down, its waterproof, its easy to clean, its comfortable, and easily slip on and most of all its affortable. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/682/magnum/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/682/magnum/ Tue, 04 May 2010 18:58:55 +0100 My last pair of Magnum elite's lasted over 5 years of military exercises and were like wearing trainers for comfort, I've today just ordered a pair of Elite Force 8.0 WPi boots and have the same high expectations. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/681/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/681/new-boots/ Tue, 04 May 2010 16:44:59 +0100 Having worked in the ambulance service for almost 4 years and being on my feet all day, it didn't take me long to realise my issue footwear needed changed. Word of mouth alone made me purchase a pair of Magnums and i have worn them ever since (3 1/2yrs). They are still in great shape with the soles amazingly still good with only the laces needing changed. I have since bought another pair to alternate and find them so light and comfy, especially when i kneel over or find myself in strange positions. At the end of a long shift my feet barely know they have been at work and are ready for the next shift. Amazing boots that don't cost the earth - a must buy !!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/680/why-i-need-my-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/680/why-i-need-my-magnums/ Tue, 04 May 2010 14:04:51 +0100 This is my third pair in 19 months. The boot is very comfortable but the stiching on the leather to the canvas of poor quality. the steel cap works nice for my enviroment, but after wearing it for two to three months the inner cover of the steel tip wears away and no socks can last long with constant movement against the cap. one of the downfalls of this boot is the shoe laces, they just dont last!!!!! max period of three months for daily useage. i am currently looking in getting a pair from the Elite series as been recommended a much higher quality boot. regards, http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/679/magnum-viper-zip/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/679/magnum-viper-zip/ Tue, 04 May 2010 12:17:22 +0100 Worn everyday, wear well and don't need any breaking in, comfortable from day 1!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/678/the-boot-to-have/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/678/the-boot-to-have/ Mon, 03 May 2010 18:22:15 +0100 very hardwaring and comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/677/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/677/magnum-classic/ Mon, 03 May 2010 16:26:01 +0100 i have had these boots for over a year working outdoors in all weathers,these boots are very comfortable but i am now having to repair the synthetic parts as they are splitting which is why i am now looking at the stealth 8 wpi boots as hopefully these don't suffer from the same problem (as my boots need to be free from any metal) http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/676/magnum-spider/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/676/magnum-spider/ Mon, 03 May 2010 15:57:36 +0100 Extremely comfortable and warm. I also have normal none cold weather magnum stealths which I wear in camp and while conducting driving courses. they also fit well and are very comfortable. but if it's wet I have to wear gore tex liners but that's all good. the new stealths far out perform my previous 2 pairs of magnums. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/675/magnum-ecw-boots-and-magnum-stealth/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/675/magnum-ecw-boots-and-magnum-stealth/ Mon, 03 May 2010 03:30:34 +0100 I have now just got my second pair of magnum boots. My first set lasted me over 2 years. the quality is of the best and they are constructed to a high standard. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/674/quality/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/674/quality/ Sun, 02 May 2010 17:36:00 +0100 100 miles over 4 days in Holland. I'd like to say I bought a pair of magnum elite spiders prior to training for this march. They're the most comfortable boot I've ever had, (especially in comparison to my issue combat boots) I didn't blister once in the spiders and happily trotted through 300 miles up to now.

Normally, afterwards my feet would be sore and with blisters. But I was fine after using these and did some heavy exercise afterwards. I completed a 50 mile road march two weeks later, and they were still perfect. I have never had such a good pair of boots, and they worth every penny. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/668/magnum-spiders/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/668/magnum-spiders/ Sat, 01 May 2010 16:09:07 +0100 I haven't owned a pair of Magnums, or Hi-Tec Magnums as they were then, for 12 years. Bought them for a 6 week initial firearms course which combined both range, scenario and outside aspects. At the end of the course the boots were totally worn out - and I do mean totally - they were only fit for the bin! This was in the days when Magnums only came in either nylon or leather versions and weren't waterproof, so in all honesty I never really revisited them and have used Danner Arcadia's ever since. This new ion-mask looks good thought and I am willing to be converted! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/667/liked-them-once/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/667/liked-them-once/ Sat, 01 May 2010 14:33:10 +0100 got a pair of magnum response boots, so comfortable I can wear them everyday for work without my feet hurting would definatly buy another pair of these boots. from phil http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/666/review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/666/review/ Sat, 01 May 2010 11:11:58 +0100 I wear these evry day and have had the same pair for 4 years.

I would love to own a pair! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/654/my-friends-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/654/my-friends-boots/ Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:01:03 +0100 ...And thats just the boots! I bought hese boots whilst serving in the forces over 6 years ago, and they are great! I use them for running in woodland terrain and when I play airsoft. All of the team that I play with wear Magnums and I would not prefer any other boot. They are like a trainer, and with the proper care, will last for years. Look after your feet, and your feet will look after you. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/653/rough-tough-and-ready-for-anything/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/653/rough-tough-and-ready-for-anything/ Mon, 26 Apr 2010 08:42:34 +0100 I used to own a pair of magnums ,found them to be like wearing trainers so cant wait to test new ones http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/652/clive-boylin/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/652/clive-boylin/ Mon, 26 Apr 2010 06:50:12 +0100 i had magnum boots on both tours of afghanistan, and they performed very well. comfy once broken in and very endurable. they fit my feet very well and prevent me from gettin blisters which is a must in my line of work. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/650/field-test/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/650/field-test/ Sat, 24 Apr 2010 12:29:13 +0100 I was joint with Mountain And Jungle Explorer Association WANADRI in Indonesia since Januari 2005. We often to do Exploration in tropical forest for traine our skill about Navigation & Jungle survival. One time, i see my friend wearing of shoes with label ( branded ) of MAGNUM. I feel, i interested to try it. I decided to buy MAGNUM Boots in July 2007. I'm soo satisfied with this product, because, i feel comfort when i wearing it for Outdoor Activity. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/649/good-shoes-for-me/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/649/good-shoes-for-me/ Fri, 23 Apr 2010 04:27:42 +0100 recently got new pair of magnum elite and till now apart of a bit of sore in the inner side top of the neck they have been fabulous.nice and Comfy to wear . http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/646/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/646/new-boots/ Thu, 22 Apr 2010 05:02:52 +0100 I work inside and out during all weathers these boot manage to be the most comfortable peice of PPE i am have the pleasuer of wearing. cool in summer warm in winter and take the pressuer out when standing for long periods. Why they are not the only boot on the market is beyond me must be a fashion thing lol http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/644/all-year-rounders/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/644/all-year-rounders/ Wed, 21 Apr 2010 23:32:18 +0100 I was issued a pair of Magnum Elite II boots by the Rescue Unit I was a medic for. The team leader had taken pity on me after seeing the blisters my old boots were giving me during a rope rescue session. I put these on with a sense of fear "new boots on feet with blisters!" but was suprised to find all the pain vannished and my feet were comfortable, well supported and the blisters heeled. These boots have lasted so long with a great deal of punishment in training and on rescue shouts, sub-merged in sea water covered in oil and grease, they have been wonderful. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/643/magnum-elite-ii/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/643/magnum-elite-ii/ Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:27:45 +0100 My current Magnum boots. Great for long shifts at work, good for running (Spiders are bit better due to reduced weight) , superb boots for motorcycle (tested in worst weather conditions all-year-round). Good grip, very comfortable and warm, still keep my feet dry (except really hot days). Waterproof test passed while standing knee-deep in water. Feet remained dry :) Going for another pair in future! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/642/magnum-elite-ii-wp-ct/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/642/magnum-elite-ii-wp-ct/ Wed, 21 Apr 2010 19:48:56 +0100 Had them for a Year of constant use at work, cross-country running during time off, everyday walking and on motorcycle. Apart of motorcycle usage (they miss waterproof technology - still great on dry days!) they never let me down. Great boots, featherlight when running, very good ankle support, good grip on nearly every surface. Highly recommended for active/outdoor people! Looking forward for Spider Recon/ Elite Force boots at the moment. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/641/magnum-spider-elite-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/641/magnum-spider-elite-8/ Wed, 21 Apr 2010 19:43:01 +0100 Well I've been in my new boots now for almost two weeks! I thought I would write a quick update on my thoughts and findings. As initially stated the boots are extremely comfortable. I had a slight issue with a little discomfort in my right boot on the shin but I'm putting this down to a very slight break in period. After two or three days the discomfort had completely vanished and the boots once again felt like a very cosy pair of slippers! Ankle support is more than adequate and is giving me total confidence when winching onto rough terrain. I have winched in some extreme wet weather conditions down here in the South Atlantic and must add the grip on wet surfaces is absolutely fantastic. On the sole of the boots it states Oil resistant and slip resistance? and I thoroughly believe Magnum have tried and tested the rubber compound of the soles and come up with some outstanding grip. Other boots I have used have often had an initial squeaking period when new but the Magnum Spiders are virtually silent on most surfaces, a definite plus for the potential covert use of this product. So, my first couple of weeks and I am very very impressed. I am planning to do some deck winching and water rescue training this week so will leave feedback on my findings. It will be interesting to see how they fare on a wet greasy deck that is pitching in the rough South Atlantic Ocean!

They are by far and away the most comfortable boot I have ever wore. As a response officer I have to regularly run through mud, water, oil and other nasty fluids and not once have my magnums let in any kind of moisture. They never feel "hot", never smell and last and last, evern though I wear them every day. I wear them off duty when the weather is bad, and even wear them for camping and doing the garden at home. I won't buy any other boot. I was once given a pair of another brand to try by a rep and I tried them for a few days and took them back and told him I was sticking with Magnum. I am a regular jogger and I run for fun and charity events to keep fit. That usually means that when I'm on duty my team using expect me to do the running and catch up with the bad guys. I usually do, and find running at speed in these things easy, comfortable and safe. Sorry to gush but these things are the best bit of kit I've got, and I think good products deserve recognition. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/634/magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/634/magnums/ Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:32:43 +0100 Im interested in trying these awesome looking boots but erm im not sure which model would suit me the best since im living in a tropical country where its hot and high humidity and wet http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/633/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/633/magnum-boots/ Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:08:38 +0100 I use my Magnum boots every day and ride my motorbike 45 miles every day in the rain sleet and snow and they have never let in a drop of water,I will never be parted from these boots http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/632/every-day-footware/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/632/every-day-footware/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:39:18 +0100 Hiya everyone i have been wearing a pair of Magnum storm i bought 2.5 years ago now almost everyday since i have never found a more comfier or versatile boot yet. they are truly the outstanding workboot/leisure boot on the market bar none. In my occupation as an archeologist you can imagine the punishment they get put through but i have no complaints at all they have never let me down and i will be investing in the new elite series as soon as possible A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU GUYS AT MAGNUM http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/631/magnum-storm/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/631/magnum-storm/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:58:27 +0100 Magnum boots are the best in thier field I have worked in law enforcment for the last 22 years and have and will not wear anything else, they come second best to none all all other companies that copy are totally inferia http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/630/magnum-boots-best-in-their-field/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/630/magnum-boots-best-in-their-field/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:41:24 +0100 I am a Police Officer in a UK North West Police Force, have worn Magnum boots through five years in Army Cadets and now three years in the Police. Still going strong! Many officers I work with state Lowa and other stupidly expensive makes are better but believe me ive never had comfier boots and ive worn Lowa and Bates as well. Ive stood on needles, nails and nothing has penetrated the sole of these things. Working in a busy city centre I attend many situations of large scale public disorder where I have to be quick on my toes and require a boot that is flexible and allows freedom of movement in the ankle joints, Magnum Classics are ideal for this I really would recommend them. They keep your feet warm and dry in the winter and yet ventilated in the summer, ideal for anyone working in the Police/Military/ Private Security sector. In our line of work, it is training, experience, and the right equipment that keep us safe. I can assure you, Magnums are THAT equipment... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/629/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/629/magnum-classic/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 16:40:54 +0100 I have worn Mag's for many years and in my job you never know what you will be doing or what country you will be doin g it in, my mag's have never let me down the last thing you need to be thinking about in a lup is the state of your feet and with mag's you know your feet are good http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/628/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/628/my-boots/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 16:05:35 +0100 i have just got to congratulate you guys at magnum boots, they are just the most comfortable best looking and just so tough these can take on anything (BRING IT ON!!!!!!!) well done guys keep up the great work PS love the new ion masks they look fantastic http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/627/simply-the-best/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/627/simply-the-best/ Sat, 17 Apr 2010 19:32:50 +0100 I purchased these boots after owning a pair of Danner's which were fantastic boots but felt like i was running in concrete boots. I opted for the Spider Elite as they offered comfort and were light weight whilst still looking smart with your uniform. There is not really a breaking in period with these boots as they feel good out of the box. The forst thing that amazes you is how light they really are whilst out and about. The ankles support offers good protection and the mesh keeps your feet cool. I have bben using these boots for two months now and i would certainly consider these again when it comes to renewal time. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/626/spider-elite-80-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/626/spider-elite-80-review/ Sat, 17 Apr 2010 13:56:59 +0100 have used boots most of my life but have like the magnums light wight but hardwaring work on the doors in night clubs have also use them in the snow and in the heat i always take them away with been few parts of the world http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/625/have-used-the-boot-all-the-time/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/625/have-used-the-boot-all-the-time/ Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:53:28 +0100 I have used Magnums when I was in the British Army, even when it was not allowed as non issued boots, but they were light, durable and comfortable. I have had 4 pairs that have lasted me on 5 tours since 1990, and now as Private Security Contractor working in the Middle East and Asia my first choice is the Magnum boot...there is no boot better wearing or more comfortable that offers the protection as Magnum Boots can. Simple the number one choice of the professional. Nicc G.

They have kept my feet dry and warm through all sorts of different environments and i would highly recommend them to anyone wanting tough/durable yet lightweight comfortable work boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/623/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/623/magnum-classics/ Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:19:35 +0100 i was issued some of these boots that i wear on a daily basis at work. ideal boots, never had a problem with them. i would love to try other boots from magnum but the army do not issue them at my current base. any tips on a pair that i should purchase?? http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/622/steel-toe-capped-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/622/steel-toe-capped-magnums/ Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:15:37 +0100 this is the second pair of magnum boots i have had and i will not purchace any other brand. i have tried many other brands but the all have had there faults but the magnum has none. as being a member of the armed forces(uk) i am on my feet all day and my magnum boots did not need breaking in . after one day of use my issued boots when in the skip never to daylight again. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/621/magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/621/magnums/ Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:48:10 +0100 I got given a pair of magnum jungle boots off my friend when in the army we got told we were going to england to clear up snow out of the blue - this wasn't just a little bit of snow. It was like eight inches a day and i only had my jungle boots with me. Clearly it was tropical conditions! As a punishment i got made to run up and down hills in them and got made to buy other ones which were terrible. I still wear my jungle boots to this day as i find they polish up amazing and very comfortable for drill. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/620/my-story/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/620/my-story/ Thu, 15 Apr 2010 16:05:14 +0100 As a Police Traffic Officer I've been wearing Magnum boots for about 15 years now as they are the ideal boot for the many varations in my day. My day is spent split between both in and out of my vehicle. Themany different type of rad surfaces I work on present various challanges from just walking on an unevenroad surface, to an accident scene which may involve getting in and out of vehicles to treating casualties to examining vehicles. Magnums have been my choice for so long as they not only meet these various challanges, but are so comfortable. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/619/everyday-comfort/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/619/everyday-comfort/ Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:04:22 +0100 Having been a medic with the Royal Maines for a number of years im alway on the look out for some decent kit, and with magnum boots I have found just that. I have worn a number of pairs over the last couple of years both in afghan / iraq, and in a trainning environment in the uk. weather its a cheap bottom of the range pair or a more expensive pair I can never find a reason to complain, Magnums are HOOFIN and have never let me down!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/618/magnum-boots-at-the-commando-trainning-centre/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/618/magnum-boots-at-the-commando-trainning-centre/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:08:43 +0100 the feeling of the boots are amazing no blisters or nothing just feel good http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/617/feeling/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/617/feeling/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:01:01 +0100 I've worn these boots day in day out for over 18 months as a Police Officer in Scotland. They have been used & abused & subjected to some severe weather. Although they have mesh panels, they seem fine in the Rain & my feet have stayed dry. They are cool enough in the summer & with a thicker pair of socks have kept my feet warm in the winter. They are very light & comfortable, almost like wearing a pair of trainers. Very good for running in & not many bad people get away from me! These are the second pair of Magnums that I've had since joining the Police & wouldn't buy anything else of day to day policing of the streets. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/616/magnum-elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/616/magnum-elite-spider-80/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:37:02 +0100 Ive been in the police for 2 and a half years now and have always worn Magnums! They are the most comfortable boots i have worn and the build quality means the last longer than many other boots. The look smart and are perfect for the job. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/615/perfect-for-the-job/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/615/perfect-for-the-job/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:48:03 +0100 They are very comfortable and breathable specially on an 8 to 12 hour shift. You never feel like you have to take them off during the shift because you feet need to be free. The reason for this is that they feel part of you and you forget you are wearing boots at times. the down side to the Magnum Classics is that because they are an ankle support, they can be a bit difficult when running in them or trying to get a good foot up on walls and etc. Onthe other hand when jumping down from a hieght the ankle support do a wonder in spreading the impact of the jump away from the ankle and the joints. The boots have served me well so far, through everything from snow to water to even vomit. Though I am sure as the years have gone on there have been better magnums made to sort certain envirnoments and improve on older versions. If your looking for an all round boot that wont leave your wallet empty and just gets the job done then I suggest the Magnum Classics http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/614/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/614/magnum-classics/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:26:55 +0100 I have work boots since a teenager, being a in the Sea Cadets I was pretty accustomed to boots and always swore by them for comfort, however they were standard issue, when I joined the police in 2008 I had the opportunity to choose my own pair and went for Magnum's due to recommendation and the look and feel of the boot. A little over a week later and they were well worn in and felt like they belonged on my feet, I can honestly say with the exception of the first week it does not matter how much walking I do or how hot I am I never get blisters wearing my boots. Its been two years since I purchased my boots and I am now looking at buying my next pair, I will definitely be looking at staying with the brand and looking forward to breaking them in. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/613/like-walking-the-beat-in-a-pair-of-slippers/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/613/like-walking-the-beat-in-a-pair-of-slippers/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:11:58 +0100 I have owned a pair of Magnum Elites now for 2 years - they are worn 4 days a week, every week. They have been accross the Brecon Beacons 4 times, Snowdonia 3 times, the Alpes 3 times and the Picos Mountains once. They are still as good as the day they arrived, and I've never had any problems. Would reccomend to anybody. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/612/my-magnums-and-me/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/612/my-magnums-and-me/ Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:32:44 +0100 Walked 22 miles on Saturday from Pencilli all the way across the Brecon Beacons and back to Pencilli, Wales, UK. The Beacons are famous for being some of the toughest terrain around and most challenging for everything from weather to the rugged mountains. My Magnums were amazing!!! So comfortable, they were like walking on air!! Wouldn't want to wear anything else!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/611/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/611/my-boots/ Tue, 13 Apr 2010 02:29:27 +0100 Magnum have never let me down and now i am using Magum Boot to train for a charity climb to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in September 2010 and i woul love nothing more to have a new pair of Magnum Boot for the atcual climb, that would be a good test of the boot http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/610/mt-kilimanjaro/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/610/mt-kilimanjaro/ Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:38:50 +0100 Cant wait to try my first pair of Magum Boots as I ware boots all the time for work an if thses do half as well as they claim I will buy them from now on http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/609/cant-wate-to-try-em/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/609/cant-wate-to-try-em/ Sun, 11 Apr 2010 13:47:31 +0100 Magnum boots are a very popular choice within the forces due to the comfort,quality and long lasting wear and good value for money http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/608/popular/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/608/popular/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:06:34 +0100 I cannot remember how many pairs of magnum boots i have had during my last 20 years in the military. For most of of that time i stuck with the classics. For a pair of everyday comfortable boots you just cannot beat them. Or so i thought. The last pair i picked up were steel toe capped, as i work in a workshop, these are just the ticket, no more bruised toes from dropping stuff on them,, the added bonus of good durable soles that are non slip on a concrete floor. You just cannot beat magnums for comfort or price. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/607/magnums-meet-the-challenge/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/607/magnums-meet-the-challenge/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 09:56:40 +0100 The best boots I ever bought!!!!!!! I have worn mine 6 days a week for the last 3 years and they have never let me down,, what ever the weather they have stayed supportive and grippy, unfortunately they have run out of rubber on the sole so it's time to buy a new pair!!!!! Would recommend these boots to any one who has an active job, on their feet all day. Comfy and reliable, everything you need in a good boot! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/606/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/606/magnum-classics/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 09:42:43 +0100 I HAVE WORN MAGNUM BOOTS MOST OF MY ARMY CAREER, FROM THE FALKLANDS IN 1990 TILL THE PRESENT DAY INCLUDING IRAQ DESERT BOOTS http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/605/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/605/magnum-boots/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:05:47 +0100 I have been wearing Magnum boots since 2004 and unlike other boots that I have tried they are like wearing a pair of comfortable slippers around the house!!!! Once i have worn one pair out I still save them for other occassions and use them until I cannot wear them anymore. I opted for Magnums as a recommendation from other people and I can only have high praise for them. They look smart when worn with my uniform and like I say I wear them everyday!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/604/my-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/604/my-magnums/ Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:16:15 +0100 have now been earing magnum boots for the last 3 years and belive me i wouldn't change to any other have both boots and shoes for work and pleasure and even with each new pair i get i never have the trouble of blisters or sore feet when i wear my magnums i even got a pair for my partner who's an amputee who also swears by them it truely feels as though you are walking on air http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/603/walking-on-air/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/603/walking-on-air/ Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:50:32 +0100 Being an Emergency Medical Technician is considered difficult, But i'm no ordinary EMT. I'm 6ft 9in tall, weighing in at about 19 stones and I wear my Magnums every day for all occasions. Boots that are owned by me take a brutal beating and I'm not the kind of person who lets up on life.The average life cycle of my boots are about 10 months. During the course of a standard week I cover 15 miles per day across concrete, up to my ankles in water about 3 times, trek across muddy hills for 10 - 12 hours at a time and then I like nothing better than relax by driving up 200 miles in a day, so obviously I need a boot that keeps up. I think I have. The Magnum Elite II seires seems to be holding it's own at the moment. From the first momnet I put them on, they fit perfectly, adapting to my foot straight away meaning I didn't need to break them in. Good start. The moisture wicking core keeps m y feet dry most of the day and the insulation keeps my feet nice and warm for later on in the night. The improved grip means I don't have to worry slipping over in hazardous conditions as well as the tough leather on the outside resists almost everything I step in, which ranges from water, oil, blood and vomit, to mention a few. I must say I am impressed so far, but I'm only five months into this pair. Let's see if they can keep up. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/602/magnums-toughest-test-yet/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/602/magnums-toughest-test-yet/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 23:51:01 +0100 on the 25 of march 2010 i went on my weekend camp to broxburn and i finaly got a chance to test my magnum classics at 1 point of the camp i got told to jump of of a 15 foot ledge and i did but in normal british boots my feet would have a stingy feeling but with the perfect magnum classics my feet had a soft landing the next day we were told to run through a river(about 30 foot long) i did the same thing 2 years back in british boots water found a way to get in but with the magnums my feet were totally dry. but the magnums riped on the fabric and then i had to go back to the british military boots the were shit. i didnt want to go back to the classics because they my rip again so i saw the ion masks and my jaw droped then i saw i could get a free pair so i did this and hopefully a 17 year old boy could be wearing them to weekend camp in may so please pick me to get the boots please http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/601/cadets/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/601/cadets/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 23:43:39 +0100 Just a little note to mention what happened on camp this weekend, a land rover ran over my toe, and i would have been screaming many, many swear words. BUT my steel toe magnums saved me! and i have pushed the dent out now, and they are as good as new, it just shows you cant go wrogn with a pair of magnums! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/600/steel-toe-caps/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/600/steel-toe-caps/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 12:24:32 +0100 I have owned my magnums for about 9 months now, in many field excercises they have kept me dry and my feet warm or cool, deopending on the weather, whilst others have soaking wet feet because of cheap chinese Ebay boots, or others are dry, but have had to pay £160+ for the pleasure. I have only had to pay £70, which is a bargain considering how well they have performed. Also i love my magnums for running in, as they provide good ankle support, but are very, very lightweight. Magnums are the best boots out, and will definetley buy magnum again when i need some! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/599/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/599/great-boots/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 12:20:41 +0100 i have a pair of spiders i feel they are one of the best pairs of boots for duty work i have bought to date comfot, support and they also dont let my feet get to hot. i have had them for 8 months now and they are realy lasting well sole and uppers as climbing in and out of wrecked vehicles and also on the floor of peoples house and just genrel work dutys on the ambulance they are defenitly a class of there own. hope to see more good work out of them. damian http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/598/spider-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/598/spider-8/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:06:32 +0100 I wear Magnums both when i'm working in Security and as a TA soldier and i find them the best around! I have tried other makes but none are as comfortable, light weight and hard wearing as Magnums! I also hill and mountain walk as a hobby and at present am training for the three peaks challenge and i find them the best boot around for that too! If you want excellence get magnums if you don't go else where!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/597/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/597/magnum-boots/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 01:30:32 +0100 The customer service are fantastic. What else can i say about them Ill log in everyday and tell you about my day with my boots Mind you at my age now i have to sit down to put them on. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/596/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/596/magnum-boots/ Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:50:55 +0100 Me and the team have been issued with Magnums now for the last 5 years and are extremely happy with all products so far. Climbing over dangerous ground and dealing with illegally depositted waste needs a certain type of tough, protective but comfortable boot and the Magnums are the currrent preffered choice. Eagerly anticipating the new waterproof boot http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/595/magnum/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/595/magnum/ Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:37:36 +0100 ZIP UP BOOTS.......What can i say. the most comfortable boots i have ever ever worn. Magnums everytime. My wife now has a pair, and she is not a police officer but we both have pairs now for walking breaks when I got time off work. Hoping to take both pairs to Snowdon later this year. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/594/magnum-boots-zip-up-phantom-13/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/594/magnum-boots-zip-up-phantom-13/ Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:36:59 +0100 Well, what can I say? I've had two pairs of these boots now, as the first pair were so bloomin' brilliant. I'm in the Events industry, and although do operate as a security operative within the industry, these boots were only used in my capcity as a manager, not on the frontline (due to the fact they had a toe cap - even though it isn't steel, it's better to be safe than sorry). These really are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. Don't get me wrong, doing up an 8 inch boot everytime you go to work is pain, but once these boots are on, they're on. I've done 20 hour shifts in the Stealth Force, and never had a complaint - only once did I get a blister and that was because my socks had worn through. As for their waterproof ability - they don't boast to have any waterproof ability at all, and sadly, this is the case. I would go as far as to say they are splash resistant, and you could stand in 1 inch of water without getting a drop on your feet, however, any more then this, or standing out in the rain, and before you know it, you're squelching around inside the boot. Although a bit battered and scuffed now, my Stealth Force boots will still be staying in the office for Traffic Jobs that we carry out, however day to day, they are going to be replaced with Elite Force with Ion-Mask. All being well, and if Magnum agree to let me field test these first, I am sure they will make it to be the number 1 recommendation boot for the rest of my Door Supervisors, Manned Guards and Stewards. They are safe to use "on the door" and although it's not every night you encounter blood bourne pathogens are the like while working a nightclub/corporate event, these is always a possibility that you might, and Magnum offer the level of protection that as a manager I need my staff to have. All in all, it's been a long run for me and Magnum so far, and I hope to keep the relationship alive and kicking!

These boots have been great but after 4 years of heavy use they are beginning to show wear and tear. I recommend Magnum boots to everyone I work with in law enforcement and in the fire department and will be purchasing a new pair of Magnum boots this month. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/592/sgt-b-habersham/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/592/sgt-b-habersham/ Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:37:32 +0100 best boot for police work...hardwearing....comfortable.....generally a good all round boot http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/591/good-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/591/good-boot/ Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:05:45 +0100 I'm pretty new to magnum boots, I have always wanted to own a pair and when my work finally got them in again, I bought them. I bought the Stealth Force 8.0's and I use them for everything, I wear them to work, around the house, basically any chance I get. They have recently replaced my old airsoft boots aswell, they are far superior in ankle support and comfort. I have went over on my ankle a few times running through the field and if I wasnt wearing these boots, I can assure you I would have been out of the game for the rest of the day. I dont have the ion mask version of these boots, and I did find that they do leak a little, although I did stand in some deep puddles and it doesnt say they are waterproof. They have really good grip, and compaired to all other boots ive used, even in muddy conditions. I would recommend these boots to any airsofter and anyone who needs a tough wearing boot with good ankle support, these are a must buy. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/590/stealth-force-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/590/stealth-force-80/ Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:50:28 +0100 i am sick of my feet getting wet everytime i go to work in the rain i have tried all types of boots but cant find a good waterproof boot maybe i should give magnum a chance http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/589/fred-rae/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/589/fred-rae/ Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:08:54 +0100 I have just received my Spider 8.1 Urban boots and first impressions are 10/10 on the comfort scale ! I am currently employed as a Search and Rescue Winchman, working in the UK for the Royal Air Force. Due to the nature of my job I have used mainly 3 types of boots in the past: Scarpa Manta GSb for mountain work. MCT (maritime counter terrorism boot) for wet winching - used in the water and also when winching to decks. And finally a goretex Pro boot which are used in virtually all situations from light mountain work to wet winching. Problems I have encountered with my current boots vary. The Scarpa boots are very very heavy and rigid but on the plus side can be used with crampons in the mountains. The MCT boots offer virtually no ankle support but are excellent in the water due to being ultra lightweight. The Pro boot although being a good allround boot with excellent insultaion tend to be still quite heavy and are very hot to wear in the summer months. After contacting Magnum and researching their boots I am delighted to be trialing a pair of their Spider Urban boots which they state are aimed at the kind of situation I may find myself in. I am about to leave on a 7 week detachment to the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic and will certainly put the boots through a serious of challenging tests. More to follow.

Mud, Rain, Snow, Ice and Sun let alone in the middle of a lot of water. They still remain comfortable and pretty much dry. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/587/comfort/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/587/comfort/ Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:57:08 +0100 I have worn various style of Magnums for the best part of 9 years from patrol up to elite and anything in between. By far they have been the most comfortable work boots I have used I have found them to be supportive around my ankles where I need it. They have also replaced my hiking boots and have served me well up in mountains as well as at work on a daily basis. In all they have been the best investment I have spent on my feet and will not go to any other brand of boots for work or leisure. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/586/comfort-and-practical/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/586/comfort-and-practical/ Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:32:44 +0100 I work in the security industry and in varying roles from that of Close Protection to Door Supervisor to Trainer to Security Asessor (Qualification Sector)... I bought a pair of the early Magnum - Classic CEN (zipped sides) .. a bit disappointed with those as the nylon zip tended to 'giveway' if I was having to reject anyone from a Night Club.. I took them back after this happened on four occassions and the supplier swapped them withno quibble for non zipped and in the two years I have worn them, they have never let me down. No leaks, no splits, supple leather so no breaking in like my old forces boots. They were comfortable for the first 12 months and then needed some additional insoles for the latter 12 months... Not needed new laces either as they are lasting as long as the boots themselves unlike some rival makers. All in all condiering I have had these boots since 2007.. they have delivered comfort, protection and support.. They are also comfortable during driving periods which when moving round varying locations and different terrains is a relief from having to change every time I have to get on the move again... However, watch for wear on the soles and heels if you do a lot of hard ground movement as you will find that after a good percentage of the 'tread' has gone the soles lose their grip and become slippy on wet surfaces such as tiles, steel or metal manholes cellar doors and even some pedestrian areas such as cobblestone roads. I have come to lose traction in chase and literally gone head forward and landed on my rear end when chasing an offender round a corner and lost all footing.. in the dry however, not an issue.. a bit like having Bridgestones on a F1 Racing Car.. could be that the boots are tiring and need a replacement and I think I will definitely be looking at replacing them with the new specc 8' Magnums... for a low end cost boot...

They're resisted oils, acids, mud, water, soap and other workshop materials. They never give up at all.

There very comfortable and provide fantastic suport and non-slip safety. The Prison can be a hazardous enviroment,but my stealth boots give me the confidence that they wont let me down. Ive owned other boots,but they dont come close to offering the same level of service as Magnums do. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/578/prison-service/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/578/prison-service/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:55:43 +0100 I can't rate my magnum boots highly enough... I've had several pairs and have found that they last and last and last. One pair which I'd already been wearing pretty regularly for around 12 months took me through all my training for the Nijmegen marches (easily several hundred miles of route marching) together with the 100 miles on the march itself. The same boots then took punishment on exercise in the Carribean for two weeks and were still good after that! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/577/boots-that-keep-on-walking/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/577/boots-that-keep-on-walking/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:49:53 +0100 in the security industry you need srong comfortable boots, i have found Magnum boots gives you all you need the first thing is comfort something you need if on the go all day, the second is the support you get from the boot making injury much less likely whilst working also the the boots i have had have lasted for a long time much longer than military boots that i have worn giving you value for money also smart in apperance. i would say in all a great all round boot and a must. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/576/great-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/576/great-boots/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:59:37 +0100 Having worn an inferior pair of boots for a number of years in the military, I was astounded when I was given a pair of Magnums......what a difference, they are so comforatble, waterproof and after yomping in them for about 3 years they have cvollapsed due to more than fair wear and tear. I have now purchased a pair, and living by the sea and keeping fit by running up and down the shingle in my Magnums....whooop whooop!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/575/best-boots-by-far/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/575/best-boots-by-far/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 13:06:26 +0100 I was lucky enough to have started with a University security section whilst they still issued Magnum boots. That was six years ago. That alone says something about Magnum boots. The boots have put in some serious mileage and are now getting a bit past it, the soles are getting very thin and the heels are very worn, I qualified for a new pair of boots 4 years ago, but I like my Magnums, and as we are now issued with a much cheaper brand, I will hold off changing them until the soles finally wear out. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/574/these-boots-are-made-for-walking/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/574/these-boots-are-made-for-walking/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:59:09 +0100 I have been wearing several different models of Magnum Boots for almost 20 years! Magnum Boots are truely the BEST. On a regular basis I recommend Magnum Boots to everyone I work with. They are very light, comfortable and provide excellent support. I have a very bad ankle from playing sports over there years and Magnum Boots is the ONLY brand that provides me the ankle support and comfort while standing and moving about on my feet during 12+ hour work shifts. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/573/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/573/magnum-boots/ Fri, 02 Apr 2010 17:52:28 +0100 one of my hobbies is a sport called airsofting, anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's basically paintball but with big bb guns and proper tactical gear. i use magnum boots and they are so comfortable throughout the day and just make life alot easier. no other pair of boots that i've used have quite matched them for it. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/572/magnum-boots-are-great/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/572/magnum-boots-are-great/ Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:54:11 +0100 Mi nombre es Pablo y soy de Argentina. Mi primer par de magnum los compre en el 2000, modelo clasicc. En el 2003 compre otro par, modelo trooper y en el 2009 el Stealth II WP. Desde el año 2000 las he usado en todo tipo de terrenos. En zona de islas pantanosas, en llanura, en montaña rocosas y en desiertos. Las he mojado, embarrado y golpeado. En invierno muy frío y en veranos tórridos. Nunca tuve ningún problema con las mismas. Mis pies siempre estuvieron seguros y confortables. Al primer uso se adaptan perfectamente. Ese es mi testimonio de agradecimiento a esta empresa que hace unos productos excelentes.

Now I wish that Magnum will have there boots sold here in Australia so that I can pick them up from local out lets please I love them so much. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/569/the-best-boots-i-ever-purchased/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/569/the-best-boots-i-ever-purchased/ Fri, 02 Apr 2010 12:13:32 +0100 Great for Police Officers and soldiers alike. I work in both fields with a full time job in the Met Police, London, UK and as a previous regular soldier and now in the Territorial Army. These boots are great for PT, squadded runs as well as urban warfare or general street policing when you don't know exactly where or when you need to be on your feet running. With Magnums your feet are comfy. These boots look the part, feel comfortable and let you gain good speed at a moments notice when potentially your life or the lives of others really count. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/568/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/568/magnum-boots/ Thu, 01 Apr 2010 23:56:07 +0100 Following my comments 21 & 28/03/2010 concerning my Magnum CEN classics Foot patrol again today in the pouring rain and the leak finally found. Glass (I assume) has cut the left heel footbed right through to the rubberised? infill. The cut is only 5/7mm long in total (trying to be modern and use metric). but its the depth of the cut. I can only see the way to fix it isby filling the cut with a durable filler (a field test in itself). The ebay bargain CEN's will now come into play. I wonder how the footbed of the ion-mask and similair compare? My patrol covers all nature of broken glass, dumped hypodermics, soiled nappies and thats just the solids without the body fluids. The joy of inner cities I guess. Magnum let me field test ion-mask for you. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/567/airleak-found/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/567/airleak-found/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:24:02 +0100 Mi experiencia aun es poca, ya que hace poco que tengo mis Magum Stealth Force 8.0 Leather, pero lo que si que se es que no volvere a tener otra bota actica que no sea Magnum. La adaptacion es instantanea, sin roces ni ningun daño(no como mis anteriores botas taccticas E.T.) la camodidad insuperable, todo merece un 10. Por eso recomiendo las botas Magnum a quien aun este indeciso sobre su uso. Sencillamente un gran acierto http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/566/mi-experiencia/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/566/mi-experiencia/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:06:24 +0100 I have been using Magnum Boots for the last 4 years and have used them beyond the comforts of a Luxury Hotel. I work for the Taj Group of Hotels in Mumbai and have used the boots at work regularly needless to say that they provide the utmost comfort not only during routine operations but also during emergencies. My boots have taken me from 0 to 6000 M above mean sea level and the comfort has been the same regardless of the altitude or the temperature. I used the boots on two Himalayan Mountaineering Expeditions in June 2007 and June 2008. Both sucessfull expeditions on Mt. Black Peak and Mt. Bhagirathi II both peak summits are at altitudes of above 6000M. The boots were used upto an altitude of 5400 M through the approach route and then into the glacial morraines after which I had to use the snow boots. However by then the shoes had made it though the toughest part of the expeditions. I have had the most comfortable feeling using Magum Boots and continue to use the pair to office even today. The shoes are extremely durable and have made it though rocks, snow, ice and water without much wear and tear. As my next expedition comes close I look forward to another sustained performance from My Magnum Boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/565/the-best-all-terrain-all-weather-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/565/the-best-all-terrain-all-weather-boots/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:11:54 +0100 As I am a postman boots are very important to me as the magnum boots are an amazing pair that you can just put on and wear without breaking them in I had no blisters at all the first week of useing them , wish I had these in the teritorial army back in the 80`s. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/564/every-day-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/564/every-day-boots/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:22:08 +0100 I own several pairs of your bootsand wear them on a daily basis - insulated / uninsulated, waterproof, etc. I also own and wear other brands of boots and the Magnum boots are some of the most comfortable and they are also very durable - a couple of pairs are 6 to 8 years old and still look new. Part of my responsibilities require that I walk extremly long distances - up to 20+ miles per day. I build roads, commercial and residential buildings, recreation facilities and other structures. I also am exposed to very hazardous materials that are used in construction activities.Your products have offered me comfortable, safe and durable boots that exceed any of my personal requirements for footwear! Excellent products!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/563/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/563/magnum-boots/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:21:27 +0100 Every so often my colleagues and I get called to very distressing situations, situations which are not always safe, situations such as locations known to be frequented by I.V drug users quite often strewn with faeces, vomit, glass and discarded needles. My magnum elite 2's do an excellent job they are comfortable, easy to clean and provide excellent support to the ankle all whilst helping to keep me reassured and confident in my work as a paramedic. Its not just for security services http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/562/there-are-worse-places-to-be/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/562/there-are-worse-places-to-be/ Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:55:29 +0100 Hey everyone. Ive just recently started my officer training with the RAF. And magnums have served me for a long time through everything ive been through. I got my first pair of spiders when i was just 14 and i used them every parade night with the ATC. I spent hours polishing them up to a extremely high standard. and then would run around on night ex's with them. I loved my magnums. They werent waterproof, but i dont recall my feet ever getting wet. I then went to university and was sponsored by the RAF to do a degree, and i still managed to use my magnums with the UAS at Oxford. My magnums are now starting to fall to pieces. After 6 or so years ive had them, they're finally starting to break. And id love to get a new pair. But ive had so much time with these, and i dont want to give them up until i get another pair. Officer training is being made just that little bit easier with them and the new magnums with ion-mask will be perfect for me. I will use them in a forces environment, to give a different feel to them. And i would recommend them to anyone who's in need of a good pair of boots. They'll serve you well. Thankyou to the people at magnum for making these boots. They've been there for me my whole life. Lucinda Rhodes http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/561/why-buy-magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/561/why-buy-magnums/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:03:31 +0100 A while ago whilst on holiday in Wales, I stopped at an Equestrian/Country store in Welshpool, called Coed-y-Dynas, here they sold Magnum all Leather boots, I needed a pair of boots and as my last pair of boots were magnums I bought them, as the last pair were an ideal fit I didn't even try them on. I've had about 13 months use out of them, but alas the soles are looking a bit tatty, however I'm still wearing them as the uppers are still looking ok. Best pair of boots i've ever had, Pity you don't make them anymore! Please bring them back http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/560/bring-back-hi-tec-magnumcen-hm-100705a-jdh-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/560/bring-back-hi-tec-magnumcen-hm-100705a-jdh-boots/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:04:56 +0100 I have worn Magnum Boots for the past ten years and have purchased them for my employers who operate a specialist Intervention team, similar to the teams operated by HM Prison Service. We started off using Magnum Patrol 8.0 ST later transferring to Elite we currently use Elite II 8.0 WP Leather CT/CP. I personally wear Elite Spider 8.0 Leather/Nylon for training as they are very light, comfortable and warm however for 'live' interventions I would not be without my Elite II's. I will continue to use Magnum boots as I believe they are of fantastic quality and value, yes I have tested many makes and models of boots in my time, but I tend to find that most of them carry an over inflated price tag, Magnum are in most cases equal, if not better these boots and offer great protection and value for money. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/559/personal-safety-coordinator-level-iii-high-secure/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/559/personal-safety-coordinator-level-iii-high-secure/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:37:39 +0100 hi i work 8hrs a day 6 days a week in security, i wear magnum elite spider 5.0, they are like wearing slippers. my feet feel as fresh at the end of my shift as they did at the beginning!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/558/peter-o/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/558/peter-o/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:30:54 +0100 Hello folks, Back again with another review. As most of the country is currently suffering from poor weather, snow/slush i decided to go to work today wearing my Magum Shield boot to combat the slushy conditions. I was outside for most of the day, walking in the slush and my feet were kept absolutely bone dry. It gave me a chance to show my colleague the Ion-mask technology at work (she didn't believe me at first)! Another glowing recommendation from me! If the weather stays the same and it looks as if it will, i will wear the Magum Elite Force Wpi version and update how they perform in the snowy conditions. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/557/magnum-shield-80-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/557/magnum-shield-80-wpi/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:52:50 +0100 I've had 2 pairs of Magnum Classics and they have never let me down. Very hard wearing and very comfortable (like slippers on the feet!!), lightweight but robust with plenty of support. I've used them year round with no problems at all!! I no longer carry my wellington boots on duty as my Magnums have performed perfectly in all wet and wintery conditions!! Superb grip is standard, other staff who've stuck with the standard issue uniform shoe have been slipping and falling while at work, no problem when you wear Magnums. Do your feet a favour and buy a pair!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/556/magnum-classic-simply-the-best/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/556/magnum-classic-simply-the-best/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:32:09 +0100 Just ordered some Viper II boots. I will give a review as soon as they come in. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/555/just-ordered/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/555/just-ordered/ Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:40:39 +0100 I've been wearing Magnum boots regularly for 8 years now. When I say regularly; I mean almost every day for at least 12hrs at a time! Previously tried Dr Martens & others, they were OK but, not as good as Magnums. Magnums do not take any "breaking in" (as opposed to DM's - ouch!), they're comfortable straight out of the box & continue to be so throughout their working life - usually about 12-18 months in my line of work. They offer excellent grip & support in all enviroments. The clean smooth lines mean that they can be polished to maintain a professional appearance & when in the front line mud, crud & body fluids etc are easily removed ( other boots have large stitching around the sole which makes this difficult). What more can I say? I love my Magnums!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/553/best-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/553/best-boots-ever/ Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:07:26 +0100 Hi there, I just wanted to share my review on your product. These boots are great for me and my lifetime hobby as a hunter. I go out sometimes and I get into pretty mucky conditions, but these boots always and have never failed to keep my feet dry, clean and out of the mucky environment that I must transverse. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn and I would sincerely recommend them to anyone. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/552/elite-ii-6-boot-reviews/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/552/elite-ii-6-boot-reviews/ Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:31:24 +0100 My CEN classics since my last review 21/03/2010, the leak lessened but with the return of wet weather it returned?? I believe I may have glass embedded deep in the heel to deep to see or dig out. Perhaps I could walk the heel down to the leak?? ( I average about 6 miles a day) Due to lack of funds I cant afford a new all singing all dancing pair so thankyou ebay. One pair of BNIB outdated 7 hole CEN classics on the way. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/551/air-leak-revisited/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/551/air-leak-revisited/ Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:45:31 +0100 I have been wearing magnums at work for the last 13 years, and you cant beat them. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/550/wouldnt-have-anything-else/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/550/wouldnt-have-anything-else/ Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:06:40 +0100 I purchased a pair of Magnum Classic lace ups on the recommendation of a friend in the police. I was looking for a comfortable pair of boots that offer me the comfort and protection I need in the offshore industry. I have never worn boots that feel so comfortable before, they fit like my favourite trainers. One day when refuelling a helicopter on the deck of an oilrig I was working on, my colleague dropped the branch of the fire hose we had on standby. The water came on and the hose started to swing over the deck uncontrolled, the branch swung round and caught me right on the toe of my boot, it was the durable construction and quality materials used in construction that I believe saved me from serious injury, Thank you Magnum !!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/549/magnums-saved-my-foot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/549/magnums-saved-my-foot/ Sun, 28 Mar 2010 14:25:31 +0100 After hearing all the recommendations from police officers and people in similar jobs, I thought I'd invest in a pair of 'Stealth Force 8' Magnums ... and that is possibly the best decision I have ever made! The boots are fantastic to wear, can be kept smart for appearances, but when you look into the comfort aspect they are truly second to none! I have worn boots for work and leisure most of my life, and so believe I can spot a good pair when i see them, and a pair of magnums will not only keep your feet protected but also extremely comfortable and in my opinion will take 'miles' of abuse and still come out as fresh as the day you bought them! In a nutshell folks! Don't think about buying your Magnums ... DO IT!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/548/thought-id-try-em/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/548/thought-id-try-em/ Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:57:36 +0000 An important part of my life, every day in the last 16 years. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/547/my-way/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/547/my-way/ Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:42:25 +0000 I went on exercise with the army and got a cold weather injury and they said every time I go out on exercise I would get it again and again. So i took it in to my own hands and bought new pair of magnum boots. They stopped my cold weather injury and i wear them every day as they are like wearing trainers; so comfortable. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/546/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/546/magnum-boots/ Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:24:42 +0000 Magnum boots in three words - good, better, magnum!!!

I wore them for 4 days on a fieldcraft exercise, and when I got back they shined brilliantly. Then I wore them on a drill and a parade competition where they won. They are the most comfortable and warm boots I've ever worn. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/544/my-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/544/my-boot/ Sat, 27 Mar 2010 10:11:25 +0000 I can not find a better boot for my work on site and for my Army cadet training nights http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/543/mag-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/543/mag-boots/ Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:56:05 +0000 Check out these awesome Magnums at work.

This job is not only the fight against fire, this is only a part of the job. I do also work on ambulances, i'm me,ber of the GRIMP (Research and intervention team on perilous areas). All these activities take place in various type of fields, weather conditions (cold, wet, dry...), cadences (walking, running, climbing, ...). As a rescuer i do also accompny students at the end of their degree to treks in Morocco. There I do also face very differents types of fields and weather for a week. For all these reasons I do think i could be an ideal tester for the Magnum Elite Force. If these boots can face all these activities, fiels and conditions then tese are The Shoes! If you're no frightened for you boots, just send me a pair of! I wait to hear from you. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/541/why-sould-i-be-a-field-tester/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/541/why-sould-i-be-a-field-tester/ Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:17:54 +0000 I bought my first pair of Magnum Hi-Tecs in late 1989. They were gray leather with red cordura anjke height hikers. I wore those boots everywhere and eventually wore them out. I liked their low price, solid construction, and good looks. Of particular interest to me with Magnum boots is their relative lightweight. My next pair of Magnums was an agressively designed pair of hiking boots I purchased in 1994 that had an innovative foot stabilization system one could adjust via a knob on the back of the heel. My next pair was one of the first black tactical boots Magnum came out with. I found these boots to run on the small side and it was difficult to find my size, 13, but I liked these boots. They weren't terrific for the field (I was Air Force Security Forces) but were a Godsend for day to day patrol duties and were easy to keep clean and the leather was excellent for shining. As with some of the early Magnum tactical boots the sole seperated near the balls of the foot from repeated bending and flexing. I am now a civilian Law Enforcement officer and certified SWAT officer and have found Magnum boots to be preferable over many competitors for their lightweight and foot support system. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/540/worn-magnum-boots-for-decades/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/540/worn-magnum-boots-for-decades/ Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:58:19 +0000 Magnum Amazon 4 , directly from battlefield http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/539/m2u00533mpg/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/539/m2u00533mpg/ Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:39:02 +0000 directly from field http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/538/magnum-amazon-4/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/538/magnum-amazon-4/ Fri, 26 Mar 2010 02:24:59 +0000 I have worn Magnum boots for around 6 years now, currently wearing Magnum Elite II 8" All Leather boots, with composite toe cap and plate. My experience with these boots, and their predecessors, has been nothing but positive. They are excellently constructed and thoughtfully designed to cope with any situation. Although I am aware that Magnum make specifically designed 'women's' style boots, I have found the Elite II (and the original Elite before them) to fit extremely well- remaining comfortable even after a long day on my feet. During the heavy snow we experienced at the beginning of the year I was very impressed by how they coped. Despite being 3 years old, they kept my feet warm and dry whilst I assisted one of the voluntary aid societies in delivering food and other essentials to vulnerable people who had become cut off from their communities. No leaking seams! While others were sliding around on the ice and hopping from one foot to the other trying to thaw their toes, I Had warm feet and did not slip once- the Vibram soles, despite being well worn now, still did their business and I did not become another winter injury statistic! Quite simply, I would not trust any other manufacturer with ensuring my comfort and safety. Thank you Magnum! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/537/amazing-construction/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/537/amazing-construction/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:10:02 +0000 I personaly feel that magnum boots are the best boots for people that work in boots day in day out, with being the most comfortable and lightwaight boots, and finding them very easy to clean so staying perfessional in apperence. i wouldnt go back to any other boot since i tried MAGNUMS. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/536/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/536/magnum-boots/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:22:30 +0000 Hi, I've had a pair of magnum elite's now for a while and would summarize their good & bad points as follows: Good: retain comfort (major+); easy on&off; presentable in most frontline situations. Bad: do not retain original shape very well; leather is too soft; can become to look scruffy after while. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/535/elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/535/elite/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:50:54 +0000 MAGNUM Elite II Leather Today I am going to talk about Magnum elite II leather boots . I just bought them last year , because my old pair of boots did not stopped water anymore , so I bought the new one . I was just section commander – instructor , so I spent a lot of time in the forest and on the ground . So I needed a water resistant boots , because I do not like when my legs are wet , and we have really a lot of snow , rain and freezing cold during Estonia winter . I asked some friends using magnum boots about this Elite II Leather , but nobody used them , so I risked and bought me a new pair of boots . And like always when I put them on , I understood that I did the right choice , but the field test was in front of me !!!! I was waiting for our big field exercise , called ´´ SpringStorm´´ . And It was just really good test for those boots . I was wearing them for 2 weeks from morning till night , and now I know everything about them and I am going to share what is good and what is bad on those boots : Minuses : 1. It is really weights a ton , when the leather become wet and you have to move with you section for kilometers Pluses : 1. Dries very quickly ( the water get inside , due to standing in knee high water ) 2. Water resistant – REALLY 3. No bad smell , even after wearing for 3 days non stop 4. Very soft 5. Holds the leg during the movement 6. Very quickly to take off and put on 7. High boot , for maximum water protection So it is really passed the test ! And after my tour in Afghanistan , I have boots for next training season ! Magnum elite II leather – just boot I am very happy with ! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/534/magnum-elite-ii-leather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/534/magnum-elite-ii-leather/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 08:12:20 +0000 It's like going to work with your slippers on :-) http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/533/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/533/my-boots/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:46:20 +0000 After leaving the army back in 1997, I entered the world of private security. I worked a variety of security environments, including hospitals, healthcare centres, shopping mall, factories and the oilsands. For working twelve hour shifts and walking intermediate distances on hard level footing, it is hard to beat a good pair of Magnums. They are light, comfortable and offer adequate foot and ankle support for that environment. For the last couple of years I have been working security in the oilsands of Northern Alberta, my good ol' soft toe, comfortable Magnums are not welcome up here. First off, every pair of work boots needs to have CSA approved safety-toes, no soft toe boots allowed. Next, the environment is extreme. -60C in the winter to +40C in the summer. It can be wet and muddy, dry and dusty or frozen and slippery. Waterproof, breathable and lightly insulated work well. Plastic soled boots start to loose their traction as the temperature drops to 0C, and become dangerous once the snow starts to pack and ice up. I will be shopping for a replacement of my current Dakota Ballistics (Steel-toe boots) in the near future, any recommendations from the folks at Magnum?? [To be fair, so far I have not seen one pair of boots that can comfortably handle the temperature range. Most workers have summer and winter work boots.] It looks like I will be patrolling for a few more years yet, and comfortable feet equal happiness. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/532/institutional-boots-excellent/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/532/institutional-boots-excellent/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:38:15 +0000 I have been wearing Magnums for around ten years now, they are excellent in the hot climates as they allow your feet to breath! They do not take long to break in, like other similar type boots! They are also very popular when conducting booted physical activity! Great boots that will last the years and fantastic value for money. cheers Magnum http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/531/long-lasting/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/531/long-lasting/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:33:21 +0000 Been using this boots for 2 years now. Confort in 9/10. weight is 10/10. we only encountered a problem that starts at he heel tab area. Wear and tear of the cusion inside is ok. I occationally use the side zipper because if read from other reviews that its the 1st one to break. Over all this boots is recomended to active people who are in the EMS or Police line of work. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/530/magnum-stealth/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/530/magnum-stealth/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:31:35 +0000 I work in an outdoor store selling Magnums and Hi-tec iron mask boots on a daily basis. We have boots sent back to us all the time from the same old problem - waterproof issues. Most boots have a waterproof membrane and spray on coating that simply wears out. However, iron mask is the first technology to beat this! I wasnt quite convinced when the new Hi-tec Altitude arrived in store. How did we test it? We stuck the boots in the sink! It certainly worked, the submerged boot came out dry. Iron-mask really does gaurantee to keep you dry!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/529/magnums-and-iron-mask-technology/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/529/magnums-and-iron-mask-technology/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:01:58 +0000 Over the years I have owned several pairs of Magnum boots from the walking to the full military style. I served 23 years in the Royal Air Force Regiment on active duty in Northern Ireland, Salalah, the gulf 1991 and the Falklands I have also served in Belize, Cyprus and Germany. Having tried and tested several named brands I have always come back to Magnum, for Fit, endurance, suitability and value. Not only do they look the part they are the business, I have bought from specialist shops and on line and always had first class service. These boots are not only for military type duties, at present I work in a high secure hospital for the criminally insane where we work 14.5 hour shifts. Magnum boots are so comfy I never suffer from foot problems as do some of my work colleagues who use inferior boots. I cannot recommend this footwear too highly. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/527/several-pairs/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/527/several-pairs/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:06:10 +0000 i was first isued a pair oof magnum boots to deploy to cypruse these where the black light weight patrole boots through out a 6 month deployment of beach landings and heavy cross xountery tabbing (walking) and pattroling i wore nothing else. i got back to the uk and continued to wear thise boots for every day work. the support and comfort these boots have given me is like non other. about a year after reciving this pair of boots i was to deploy to afganistan. so i was given a kit list to pick which kit i would like and as soon as i saw magnum i had to have them i have worn the same boot for a complet 7 month tour finding them better than there rivals mindels and the popular lowa boot i still own both pair of boots even though my dessert pair looks a bit tired now with a few holes in the sides and god knows what has been spilt on them they remain a high quality boot and would and have recomended them to colighes deploying to both afganistan iraq and cyprus and will continue to were them till they fall off my feet keep up the good work guys at magnum http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/526/magnums-in-action/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/526/magnums-in-action/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:44:06 +0000 These are great boots. When i was looking for a pair of nice comfortable shoes, the Magnums were the best. They are great for uniform appearance and easy to break in. There priced at a good price and also i was able to get 3 pairs of different boots at once. They are great and im looking forward to buying my next pair soon. P.S. The boots are long lasting more than other boots. This is not a waste of money. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/525/best-form-of-boots-i-ever-worn/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/525/best-form-of-boots-i-ever-worn/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:26:19 +0000 i will say some words about Magnum amazon 4 .

Tnx. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/523/my-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/523/my-boots/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:35:34 +0000 I have had Magnum boots for 10 years now, and they are the best work boots around. I am a Firefighter and we respond to many calls that do not require our Turnout gear. Magnum boots have been there to protect my feet on many different types of calls. They have stood up to relentless abuse and have lasted for many years. There is no other boots I would trust my foot protection to. Thanks you Magnum!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/522/best-around/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/522/best-around/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:22:30 +0000 As a member of the elite Canadian police force, I can contest to the quality of product that Magnum offers. I became a member with the police 9 years ago. After receiving my training, then placed into the field, the boots that the Force provided did not last 6 months. I was convinced to try a Magnum product. The first pair I bought, was light, professional looking and confortable. Stealth boots exceeded my expectation. In Canada, we endure cold, harsh climates. I found these boots not only provided great traction but warmth as well. When the temperature drops below freezing, a police officer requires the best and most reliable equipment to keep them safe. Kudos to Magnum, I have since purchased my 2nd pair of Stealth II and wear them year round. I still have my first pair, they are a little worn out after 6 years, but still good to walk on roofs tops while shingling. Thanks for the safety of my job. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/521/fantastic-in-the-canadian-cold/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/521/fantastic-in-the-canadian-cold/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:03:05 +0000 These boots are the most comfortable boots i have worn to date. I conduct fishing boat boardings and often am climbing through nasty unsafe fish holds. I also am required to check engine room equipment as well as other small hard to get into spaces. These are my 3rd pair of Magnum boots. I will never buy anything but Magnum ever again. I have had many different types of boots over my 15 year career. Ive always been searching for a boot that wont make my back hurt and can take the abuse i can give it. These are the most comfortable boots i have ever worn. And they last. I will get some video and load it up next time im on. You cant go wrong with Magnums. Chief Petty Officer Brad Collins http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/520/stealth-force/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/520/stealth-force/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:12:33 +0000 I've had these Magnums for about three years now and they've definitely met any and every task that I've tackled with them. From the -6 degree weather in Canada where they kept my feet toasty warm to working outside in the August heat of South Texas where my feet stayed comfortable and dry. The latest was helping a cousin put up a new fence. The weather was pretty decent, but we were on our feet 10 hours the first day and 6 the second. Not a terribly long time by some folks' standards, but there was lots of moving, twisting, carrying, digging, etc. The kicker, no pun, was the 7 tons of cement that I shoveled on the 2nd day. The only thing that didn't ache at the end of the day were my feet. They stayed cool and comfortable throughout the entire project thanks to my Magnums. They're flat out the best work boots that I've ever worn! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/519/precision-v-lite-wp-with-composite-toe/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/519/precision-v-lite-wp-with-composite-toe/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:52:21 +0000 runing. junmping, or kicking the best boots ist this ... magnun http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/518/the-most-confort/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/518/the-most-confort/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:42:29 +0000 Thought I would write another quick review...I was out yesterday on the streets of upstate New York, wearing my STEALTH FORCE 8.0 SZ CT- WIDE boots. I couldn't be happier- they were so comfortable for long walks and the best choice in my opinion for every day wear. I walked the slick sidewalks and mossy stairs without a second thought...It may sound insudnifacaint but every little bit of extra confidence is nice to have!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/517/gloomy-weather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/517/gloomy-weather/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:37:45 +0000 these boots are great they are comfortable out of the box and light weight and tough i would recamend them to anyone that needs to wear boots for foot protection thanks Randy http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/516/side-zip-steath-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/516/side-zip-steath-boots/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:16:16 +0000 First, let me say that I am not in the military or law enforcement. I am however a Dad, Step-Dad and my wife and I are in the process of adopting our Foster Son. All that said, I am a Sr. Systems Engineer for a company in Seattle, WA. I ride a motorcycle to and from the office every day regardless of the weather (well unless there is a substantial amount of snow or ice on the road) heavy rains, wind, cold. There are a group of us that have ridden the ferry to and from our offices for quite some time now. We recognize each other and we talk about the gear that gets us through the wet and cold. We also lament the nice weather to a point as well, brings out all the "fair weather riders"..... I would like to "volunteer" for the position of a product tester. Currently wearing a Sidi On-Road motorcycle boot that is about 3 years old. It has been an EXCELLENT product my feet have not gotten the slightest bit wet in that time even in some of the heaviest rains I have ever seen. The only drawback to me is the overall cost of the boot, $350.00 is a substantial amount to pay even when the product is more then worth it. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to evaluate your boots (Size 9.5 would be perfect) on a daily basis on and off the motorcycle in all kinds of weather. thank you. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/515/pacific-north-west-year-round-rider/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/515/pacific-north-west-year-round-rider/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:48:08 +0000 I wear a pair of stealth CT on a everyday basis in a construction site. These shoes were comfortable and water resistant as well as having the composite toe which granted me safety. Best shoes I had worked with. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/514/magnum-stealth-ct/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/514/magnum-stealth-ct/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:17:26 +0000 Being an Airsoft player for years, Amazon 5 is the first pair of Magnum boots I'd had, and there was no doubt about it. though being a museum piece, It was extremely reliable and comfortable when compared along side many other boots, British Army Issue MKII though has the toughness, but I can never wear it all day long as it is as harsh to your feet as it is to the enviroment. The MKIII doesn't make much improvement either with it's poor reliability, Magnum boots does offer a both- as comfy as your sporty trainners and the ability to take on challenges where normal shoes just cant stand. For instant: Nike/Karriormior hiking boots somtimes does offer a bit of comfort, but It always slip so bad that I would even think bringing them out even on a slightly moist day! the amazon 5 had never led me down, both on and off the field, usually I wouldn't bring my Airsoft equipment for hiking purpose, but Amazon 5 does give such an exceptional performance that since I've bought it, It become my general outdoor solution. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/513/amazon-5-no-doubt/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/513/amazon-5-no-doubt/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:47:33 +0000 I have had a pair of Magnum boots for 2 years now. Wear them 6 days a week and do a jobs standing all day for 12 hours aday. Never had any foot wear that make your feet feel as fresh, not hurt and feel so safe in my Magnum boots. Everyone should own some. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/512/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/512/magnum-boots/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:01:21 +0000 Ok, I have lived in these for 6 weeks now and they are still very comfortable. Normally after several hours in work, on my feet, twisting and turning, walking and running, my feet are knackard. I can honestly say that my feet are not desperate to get out. These boots have definately been built with comfort in mind. They are solid they are the mean machines of boots. I could go on and on about how good they are. The Ion-Mask is one feature that really does the boots proud, they stay so easily clean and dry. I am nearly at the point where I don't think about what I walk in, or how I walk. I know I have the support around the ankle, the lightweight design make it easier to forget I actually have them on and they look good. I would genuinely recommend these boots, I genuinely would. They may not be the cheapest but lets be honest you are on your feet all the time, its well worth the money. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/511/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-6-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/511/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-6-review/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:38:49 +0000 Hello everyone. So i only recently got these boots, around 3 months ago really. And before them i had a pair of spiders that served me well for many years. I decided to get a new pair because i noticed these were specially for women and could serve me well in my RAF officer training to be a fast-jet pilot. Sadly they don't polish up too well for inspection, so i've had to take to just using them in the field. They are extremely comfortable, decent price and a wonder to use. They're also incredibly silent when running. Now that the new ion-mask boots are out. I would love a pair. Sadly my RAF budget can not stretch that far. They seem perfect for parades, in the field, and daily jobs around the campus. They would fit my needs perfectly it seems and would be a wonder to have. But if there's anyone out there who needs a decent pair of boots, even if your female that are lightweight, comfortable, and a pleasure to use. Then magnums are the way to go, and these female boots are certainly good enough to fit the name.

At the time I was an infantry soldier serving in Northern Ireland and my magnums never let me down... I had several pairs between 1992 and 1999 when I joined the Police. I was then introduced to Magnum Elite 2, they were awesome, Comfortable and durable with the flexinbility of a sports shoe in a boot. I have recently purchased a pair of Elite 8" which have required no breaking in at all. I would recommend Magnum to ALL military and Law Enforcement Personell... they are the Business! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/509/magnums-are-the-business/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/509/magnums-are-the-business/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:28:44 +0000 have had these boots 3 years now done 3 winters and 2 summers so far had no cold or wet feet. been doing this job 22 years now and these are by far the best boots i have ever bought. my work allow £45.00 a year for boots , bought these myself as over hundred pounds at time and were best investment my feet have ever had. even though waterporrf and insulated during even hot summers (last july) my feet remain dry. getting a bit tired now but i rekon theve done 10,000 miles so deserve to be http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/508/elite-spider-8-wp-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/508/elite-spider-8-wp-boots/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:29:17 +0000 any magnum boots are good for anything http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/507/good-for-anythink-n-everday/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/507/good-for-anythink-n-everday/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:19:45 +0000 Hello to any females out there looking to buy a new pair of boots. When i first bought a pair of magnums I had a pair of spiders, and they served me well for 4 years through my cadet years and beginning of RAF officer training. But recently i decided to get a new pair, and that's when i discovered these specially designed women's low cut boots. I took a plunge and decided to buy a pair. And my god am i glad i did. Although they are not said to be waterproof, i have never had a trouble with them letting water in. They are incredibly comfortable, lightweight and a pleasure to use. I would suggest making them fully waterproof as an added extra. But they are brilliant as it is. I would recommend them to anyone out there looking for some new boots. And the price tag isin't too bad either.

I would highly recommend you buying a pair of magnums. They have been a wonder to wear and make my daily vigorous RAF officer training, just that little bit easier. I've had mine now for around 4 years, and there's barely any difference to the brand new pair i bought in my cadet years from my local surplus store. They have always been completely waterproof and comfortable. I have to say I had my doubts when i first bought them about whether or not they'd be too heavy for a female to have to lug around when running in the field and on night exercises. But they have constantly stunned me with how lightweight they are, and a pleasure to run in. I would thoroughly recommend them. So if your looking to buy a pair of boots, magnums are the way to go. Lucinda Rhodes http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/505/magnum-elite-spider-8-inch-boot-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/505/magnum-elite-spider-8-inch-boot-review/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 20:25:23 +0000 Since my last time of writing my magnum classic left boot has developed a leak. Not in the sense of letting water rush in but in the heel breathing in an asthmatic rasp each time the foot is stepped forward. Really annoying and no idea why or how to cure. The most helpful suggestion to date was chuck 'em out and buy another pair. This from a person who had another brand of workwear with the sports heel inbuilt and had to do just as he advised me. Any suggestions folks http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/504/air-leak/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/504/air-leak/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:17:33 +0000 i have a pair of magnum boots that i bought cadet direct 3 years ago and they seem to do the trick but im looking for another pair of boots and i want to see if the new magnums are as good as they say they are. Thanks Neil Dennison London http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/503/the-magnums-i-have-already/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/503/the-magnums-i-have-already/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 15:59:48 +0000 These boots are made for walking. And thats just what they do - I have had my first pair of Magnums issued to me in the navy and they are bliss to wear. I often go for a run through fields at Dartmoor and usually my feet get soaked both through lack of waterproofing and my feet sweating. I took my magnums and my feet were good as new. The zip down the side is a genius idea as well making taking the boots off in a hurry rapid. I keep watches as an armed sentry as well and walking around in these feels immense, I would definately be getting these again. It's a shame we can only get one pair! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/502/amazing/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/502/amazing/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 09:29:08 +0000 Bought the STEALTH 8.0 today, slippled them on zipped up the side, laced them up and started walking. Felt like I was walking on a cloud! The composite toe is a nice feature to have, and being a size 14 Wide- Its nice to know Magnum makes a boot size for me. I will write more of a later on, but for fist impressions- the best tactical boot I have ever worn, not to mention a boot I can fit in! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/501/stealth-force-80-sz-ct-wide/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/501/stealth-force-80-sz-ct-wide/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:38:30 +0000 I am a member of the Army cadet force (UK) and have been for 4 years now, and for the previous year I have been wearing the magnum classic boot. I chose it because as soon as i tried it on I was in heaven my feet were SO comfortable and relaxed, and the best bit is... Its wieght! it takes up so much less wieght in my bergen (a form of backpack) and my feet have never gotten foot problems from them before. I would highly reccomend magnums to anyone who is looking for possible one of the best boot-makers in the world!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/500/magnum-classic-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/500/magnum-classic-boot/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:40:30 +0000 From time to time I look for magnum updates as i wear and rely on my Magnum boots day in day out training for both walking, Duke of Edinburgh and Military training to graduate in the RAF as a Fast-Jet Pilot. I have been out in the worst of weather with my boots, trained on assault courses and had to polish and bull them for inspections. I didn't think they could be better for me, until i came across the new ion-mask range, which not only will bring me through everything with dry feet, but will also help me in daily life through military routine exercise and drill, i have worn Magnums for 5 years now and have never looked for another type of boot. I have looked through the new ion-masked boot and it would be perfect for both my civilian and military life, and will continue to wear them throughout my career as a fast jet pilot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/499/initial-thoughts/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/499/initial-thoughts/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:39:08 +0000 I bought a pair of Magnum Amazon 3 boots for ?45 on the internet and since then I have never looked back. I can safely say that I have been through hell and back with these boots but they have never let me down despite giving these boots a thorougher testing through unbelievably thick mud, up and down steep hills and generally giving these boots a good run for their money but yet they have never let me down and the souls still look just like new. Plus the high quality leather is easy to clean and shine making these ideal for military use. I would thoroughly recommend buying a pair of Magnum Amazon 3 boots or any pair of Magnum boots. That has been my brief review thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy using your boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/498/magnum-amazon-3-boots-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/498/magnum-amazon-3-boots-review/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:06:53 +0000 It took some time to get the laces adjusted so that the fit was satisfactory & the zip was easy to use. This is important to me as I am often on call from my house & have to get dressed and respond as quicly as possible. They have good ankle protection and are still waterproof after two years of wear. The steel toecap provides the foot protectio wea are obliged to have to comply with the Health & Safety rules. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/497/side-zip-high-leg/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/497/side-zip-high-leg/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:19:14 +0000 As a volunteer of Hong Kong St.John Ambulance, there will be a chance for us to work on an ambulance. When we response to a call we have no idea about the scene whether it is wet, oily or whatever situation it might be. Magnum boots gave us great protection. Also I am an airsoft player. I wear magnum boots in both CQB and outdoor gaming site. Again it can give me great protection. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/496/great-for-leisure-and-working-purpose/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/496/great-for-leisure-and-working-purpose/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:29:05 +0000 I'm now on my second pair of Magnum Elite Boots. My first pair lasted for several years, but eventually wear and tear on the lining and the sole wearing down forced me to get a second pair. I initially struggled to find a comfortable pair of boots that suited my needs- as a woman, I found that mens boots either didn't come in small enough sizes, or were just uncomfortable and heavy. Most boots made for women, however, end to lack the features found on mens boots. Happily, I found Magnum Elite boots which had all the features I needed, looked smart and fitted like a glove. A couple of years on, and they've served me very well. This pair has a composite toe cap which has protected my feet from all manner of hazards, from trolleys and vehicles to patients kicking off. And it's so much lighter than the old steel toe caps! As an enhanced skills first aider, I spend hours at public events patrolling, racking up probably hundreds of miles every year. My magnums keep my feet warm and comfortable in the wind and rain, but also cool in summer- and they were like wearing trainers right from the start- no wearing in required! They're also rugged enough to protect me from tough terrain on, say, a hill rally, but also perfect for pounding the pavements at a fair, or the muddy fields at a music festival. They also polish up very well so I look well turned out for smarter events. The only fault I have found so far is that, with years of use, a small 'lump' has appeared within the boot, just at the 'corner' where the toecap starts, on the inner edge of one boot. I can only guess that long-term wear has rubbed the adhesive between the layers to form this bump. Luckily, it doesn't have any impact on comfort for me, although I can see that it might for others if they had the same problem. Overall, great value for money- comfortable boots that are up to the job and last very well. Well done Magnum! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/495/magnum-elite-ii-ct/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/495/magnum-elite-ii-ct/ Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:52:01 +0000 As an EMT and former Police Officer in the United Kingdon, I have worn many pairs of boots through the years, both issued and bought by myself. In my first day as a police officer, my sergeant said to me ' Look after your feet, you only get one pair'. This advice I have found to be very true. In recent years I I have leaned towards the modern trainer style lightweight boot, incorporating both comfort and practicality. Of all the brands I have worn, Magnum is the company I have returned to time and again to protect me feet. Magnum boots are not just an item of footware, they are a statement to both colleagues and the public. They provide comfort, support, security, and a look of the utmost professionalism. Some people like to customise their boots to suit their needs but I have found that each pair of Magnums that I have worn need no alteration as they suit me perfectly. As long as I work in the Emergency Services, I will always choose Magnums. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/494/practical-and-professional/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/494/practical-and-professional/ Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:13:55 +0000 magnum boots are awesome. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/493/truckdriver/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/493/truckdriver/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:41:55 +0000 A futher review for all you Magnum fans out there. I wore these boots doing a fair bit of walking over the past couple of weeks and again, i was extremely impressed. Being a hillwalker, i have lost count of the amount of times that i have got to the bottom of a hill to finthat my feet are sweaty and sore. I have been wearing my Elite Force taking my dog on long walks and found that my feet are able to breathe very easily but still retain the rugged feeling around the foot. It also rained a bit (it is Scotland) and the ion-mask technology provided ultimate protection with the rain water rolling off upon contact. Get the boots, you will never buy another type or brand! Cheers, Pete http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/492/magnum-elite-force-wpi-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/492/magnum-elite-force-wpi-80/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:22:46 +0000 Going on my second pair of Spiders. They are lite and comfortable, however the soles are not that durable. My first pair were replaced due to the sole tearing away from the boot. One of the lugs came completely off. At SWAT Roundup in Orlando the Magnum vendor took one look and said he would send me a new pair of boots. About three weeks later my new boots showed up on my doorstep. Thank you for the great customer service. On my second pair of boots the same thing is happening. I wear these boots for my SWAT training and have had them for a little over one year now. These boots are lite, comfortable, and look great. I just wish the soles would stay on them. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/490/spider-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/490/spider-elite/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:45:13 +0000 personally i have never worn the magnum boots but speaking from a friends perspective he said they werent too good especially when they get wet as they take ages to dry out im not too fussed about his opinion i would love to try them for myself but wouldnt want to go out and spend lots of money on a pair of boots that are no good for me http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/489/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/489/magnum-boots/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:36:53 +0000 i hava a pair of magnum classics which i brought in 2005 these are still going strong on the day to day use in the police service great confort and hard wearing boot ion-mask should be even better http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/488/magnum-clasiics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/488/magnum-clasiics/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:32:14 +0000 Last year I deployed to Iraq on Op Telic 13, I headed down to the stores to get my kit issued to me and was quite excited as I had heard we had some new Lower boots in. I like many other wanted my pair before they ran out, however once we got the Lower boots and started to train for Iraq we soon realised that they would not be good enough for the long road that lay ahead of us. Being an infantry soldier and considering the amount of time we spend on our feet, boots are one of the most important pieces of our kit! So I swapped mine for a set of desert Amazon 4 magnum boots. As soon as I had them on I knew I was on to a winner, not only were they very comfy but they kept my feet nice and cool due to plenty of ventilation and the fast-wicking material used. I used these boots for the whole 6 month tour and I still use the now for when I am doing route marches. Despite all the action and wear these boots have seen me though they are still in near perfect condition. I would recommend Magnum boots t anyone who is about to deploy to a hot climate or even if you are just going to one for a holiday. Definite value for money! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/487/tough-boots-for-a-tough-job/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/487/tough-boots-for-a-tough-job/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:01:48 +0000 I first started wearing Hi-Tec Magnum boots in 2003 when i started walking the streets for a living as a PCSO, at first it took alot of getting used to wearing safety boots for distance walking, but it wasn't long before those brand new, rigid Magnum classics became like a pair of slippers. Not just any slippers, the kind that you cant wait to put on your feet after a hard day at work. The classics were the first magnums i had ever bought and in November of 2006 they gave up the ghost and my sole split. (It just happened to be the worst down pour of rain that South Tyneside had seen in a long while) However, i carried out a little research into Magnums and found the Elite Range, Oh my GOD! These were the Ferrari of the magnum range and before long owned a pair. Once again the rigid brand new boots were donned for the first time, for a shift of walking at least 21 miles around my beat. The boots were like slippers from the off, now with added support and the extra water proofing and other bells and whistles i didnt really understand at the time. The magnum Elites are still in good working order and are still travelling every day. ( I even put them on to go out shopping sometimes) I have told friends, colleagues and relatives about them and every one who had bought them has commented on what a fantastic pair of boots they are. In short i would buy Magnums every time, VALUE FOR MONEY http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/486/magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/486/magnums/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:36:19 +0000 Hi, I'm from the French Foregin Legion. My activities offers a lot of challenges for me and my gear at every hour. I need a comfortable and rock-solid boot for really hard condition all over the world. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/485/french-foregin-legion/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/485/french-foregin-legion/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:21:32 +0000 I have worn Magnum boots for over a decade. At 5'10" and 235lbs I am rough on boots.They are the only duty boots I will purchase. I could purchase much more expensive boots with the alottment we get, however I have chosen Magnum boots over and over again due to the comfort, duribility and protection they offer. I even have a pair of the Viper 6" boots I wear on my days off. I have 22 titanium screws and three steel plates that basically hold my heel and ankle together from an injury 10 years ago. I have tried many boots and found Magnums offer the best support and most mobility. I have tried dozens of brands and styles of boots but always go back to Magnum boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/483/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/483/magnum-boots/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:37:10 +0000 I'm a police officer and I have worn a couple of different boots. I work in Oregon so I'm normally out in inclement weather. I started with Danner boots, then to Thorogood, and now I have a pair of 5.11 boots. Last night I was chasing a suspect and just about destroyed my 5.11 boots. I'm frustrated about buying boots so often. Some of my co-workers are currently testing the Nike & Adidas boots. I was hoping to try a set of the ion-mask boots and hopefully give some of my co-workers more options. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/482/looking-for-a-decent-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/482/looking-for-a-decent-boot/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:48:24 +0000 Im a truck driver and i do delivery of heavy stuff , I have bought alot of boots the only boots that have worth the money it have been my magnum boots. I recommend to everybody they are comfortable and the safest boots wont change it for no other boots that are not magnum!!!!!!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/481/cant-work-with-out-them/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/481/cant-work-with-out-them/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:34:08 +0000 I have had the same pair of Magnum Classics for the last 10 years. They are the most comfortable boots that I own. I wear them for my regular patrol duties as well as working foot patrol in our bar district where I work off-duty. These boots are so comfortable infact that I where them when riding my Harley. It's almost like they are form fitted to my feet. Keep up the good work! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/480/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/480/magnum-classic/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:07:11 +0000 The magnum boots I have are supposed to have been designed for use on hard surfaces. I work on polished concrete all day and have found that the wavy sole design that my boots had were not the best on these surfaces. The soles squeaked when you walked eliminating the possibility of sneaking up on someone and they were slippery when they got wet. I don't use these boot for work anymore due to these concerns. They have been moved into my yard work boots. I'm not 100% sure of the model but I want to say that they were Magnum classics...but I may be mistaken. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/479/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/479/boots/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:45:03 +0000 I purchased these boots several months ago and wear them on a daily basis. They are good quality comfortable, hardwearing and water proof boots although I found them a little too wide on the foot to previous magnums I have owned. The only other criticism I have of them is that I have found the soles do not seem to be non slip which causes problems when driving. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/478/magnum-patrol-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/478/magnum-patrol-boots/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:41:25 +0000 Very comfortable boot, fits good fells good....... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/477/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/477/magnum-boots/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:13:31 +0000 whether walking the halls of a school or the back ally's my mags keep my feet protected and comfortable.

I enjoyed the comfort at first, but noticed severl holes in the web design after two months of wearing them. Approximately 4 months with the boots, I'd had several holes and had to get a new pair of boots. I was very dissapointed with the boots, espeically with how much I enjoyed them in the begining. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/474/dislike-elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/474/dislike-elite-spider-80/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:00:03 +0000 I wear on the job every day for at least eight and a half hours, and somtimes longer. I just purchased another pair with my uniform allowance. I am very pleased with the way they wear. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/473/school-resource-officer/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/473/school-resource-officer/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:08:50 +0000 No matter it rains, it pours, it snows, it's muddy, it's bumpy, it protects me in line of duty http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/472/great-boots-to-wear-to-protect/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/472/great-boots-to-wear-to-protect/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:05:38 +0000 COMFORTABLE FROM THE FIRST MOMENT THEY WERE PULLED ON, TO THE LAST MINUTE OF A 12 HOUR SHIFT.

It doesn't have the weight of other boots and this certainly helps when being a patrol officer getting in and out of vehicles quickly and being able to chase after suspects. And believe me they run! I find the comfort like a trainer and I use the magnum insoles for that extra protection so the boot feels even more comfortable, and offers me added protection if I need to jump down from a height. It's well built and designed gripping my ankle and never had any problems with eyelets and the boots do up quickly and easily. They also look very smart when on active duty. These are perfect all round boots and I would recommend them time and time again. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/469/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/469/magnum-classic/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:34:37 +0000 I asked my manager if i could have a new pair of boots for work, as we should wear protective footwear. Knowing in my mind what i wanted he agreeded, they were also on special offer, he said I will have a pair as well so i ordered five pairs for my staff the Elite II 8 leather CT boot, i have worked all my life in toe tectors & these are by far the most comfortable boots i have ever worn. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/468/tech-support-dave-love/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/468/tech-support-dave-love/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:42:10 +0000 I have purchased several different brands of boots, however, Magnum boots are comfortable, breathable, durable and overall a better boot than the ones I have worn. I am a police officer, on my feet several hours a day, in and out of a vehicle during all kinds of weather and am now back to purchase a second set. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/467/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/467/magnum-boots/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:39:35 +0000 I bought a pair of magnum Classic Boots about a year now and i have used them on Fist aid duies with St John Ambulance so walking in Mud, and water and thaey are still gooing stong i also use them for work as well where at the end of the day thay are smart and also protect from the cleaning chemicals that we use so this could be from general detergent to chlorine based floor cleaner so if you want a pair of strong smart waterproof boot that can be worn all year round the go for some magnum classics http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/466/magnum-classic-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/466/magnum-classic-boots/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:54:13 +0000 Haved used this boot brand for over 15 years and will go no where else..... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/465/cop-and-former-marine/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/465/cop-and-former-marine/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:08:02 +0000 Magnum boots are the best I wear them every day any where from 10 to 16 hr.

I have used each pair of boots until something on it breaks, which has taken quite a long time to happen typically. I am interested in how the new ion-mask boots would take to break! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/463/daily-wear-and-tear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/463/daily-wear-and-tear/ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:32:54 +0000 Magnum boots are the evolution of footwear for all conditions and adversity, some people spend much money on fashion footwear, this shoe does not withstand the passage of the days... Any intelligent person should make a good investment and buy a magnum boots, because whit magnun always be ready for anything. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/462/all-persons-should-have-magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/462/all-persons-should-have-magnum-boots/ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:00:24 +0000 I'm working as guard, security by night of a big commercial center, i' had Army rangers, and i've change to Magnum stealth Force Nylon/leather, it's the greatest stuff i've never wear . Light, they give me precision in my acts, i have to say the COMFORT is great, easy to seen, there is concentrated technology in this shoes !!! Another point important, they are "portic friendly", it's very important, when we are security agents in commercial center or airport . Now i'd like to change for the model 100% leather CT/TP (i've nylon/leather, not CT/TP at time ) The best brand and quality shoes I know . http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/461/my-bests-partners/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/461/my-bests-partners/ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:31:36 +0000 I love these boots because they are comfortable and they are so light! Im on concrete floors a lot and I am going to be needing a new pair of boots soon! I will buy another set of Magnum boots! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/460/magnum-5170-amazon-4/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/460/magnum-5170-amazon-4/ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:58:45 +0000 I work within a fast moving and new residential company, as a park manager. I wear Magnam boots for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Magnum boots offer comfort, durability and safety with a smart appearance and comfort. They are as suited in the role of construction within the park grounds as they are in meetings with the local councils and park directors. Do magnum boots deliver? Yes 100% all the time every time! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/459/boots-for-work/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/459/boots-for-work/ Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:29:57 +0000 I've been looking for a pair of good work boots for a long time. I also enjoy hiking and hunting so I was looking for a boot that was versitile to all the things I'd like to do without the worry about how I will feel the next morning. I've brought many different brands for the last few years hopeing I could go a a long time without waking up the next morning feeling like "as soon as I step down off this bed it going to hurt." Well, I think I've finally found a pair of boots that I can live with. I brought the Magnum Elite Spider Recon 8.0 and I have to say these have to be one of the best boots I've brought. They are light weight, flexable, warm, yet not too hot, boots I've ever tried. This weekend coming up I will be traveling to Haiti to help rebuild some of the structures that were turned to gravel out there. The conditions out there are suppose to be quite bad and the rainy season is coming in soon so I believe these boots will be getting a good use out of them. This will be a true test for my feet as well as the boots that are on them. I will report back on this site and let you know how they stand up. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/458/to-haiti-i-go/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/458/to-haiti-i-go/ Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:26:03 +0000 these boots look like they would be perfect for my job.i am out delivering food to schools,hospitals,restaurants,hotels in all kinds of weather,and seems to be raining a lot more here in georgia than normal.my normal hi-techs do a good job,but i have to treat them with a rain protector and having a boot with this technology built in it would make a big difference.but the problem i am having is finding even the regular magnum boot locally to buy without having to order them much less having a specialty boot to try to find.magnum boots are the most comfortable i have ever wore and will be the only ones i will buy. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/457/delivery-driver/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/457/delivery-driver/ Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:07:14 +0000 I have been wearing Magnum boots since 1992, when I bought my first pair when I was still active duty Air Force Security Police. Since then, I have purchased several more pairs. I currently own a full leather pair of Elite boots that I had purchased in 2005, prior to Hurricane Katrina. I wore those boots during and after the hurricane, and they never let me down. A little polish, a new pair of insoles and they were good as new. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/456/elite-leather-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/456/elite-leather-boots/ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:31:14 +0000 They are just so comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/455/love-the-shoes/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/455/love-the-shoes/ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:28:48 +0000 I have been working with the Metropolitan Police in London, UK since 2002. I worked as a Community Support Officer for 6 years and during these years I have spent hours on foot patrol wearing standard magnum boots. Now the last 2 years I am a frontline Police Officer and need even more reliable and comfortable footwear. I choose the Magnum Viper II imported from the USA. Great boots. I am now looking to replace the worn out pair and read about these Ion-Mask Elite boots, I am yet to lay my hands on them. They sound promising but the real test is out there on the every day front line policing. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/454/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/454/magnum-boots/ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:48:21 +0000 My boots see the nastiest of the nasty--Waste Services--garbage collection and processing. I hate breaking in a new pair of boots but due to the combination of wear and stink. Since I started wearing Magnums I get a year plus out of my boots. Every pair of Magnums becomes the best of pair of boots I've ever owned. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/453/keeping-my-socks-clean/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/453/keeping-my-socks-clean/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:02:58 +0000 I am a serving Paramedic and also a volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officer in the Southwest of England, I use Magnums everyday at work and I have never found a boot to rival them ( I have tried many!!). I'm supplied classics at work which are a fantastic everyday, affordable boot, but the old saying that " you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true, I recently decided to upgrade to a pair of Elite's and I believe I have found boot heaven!! I really put my boots to the test in all environments and in all weathers, they have never let me down and I don't ever see the need to go to another brand. I think it is a testimont to their durability and reliability, that so many emergency and military services supply Magnum boots to their workforce. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/452/magnum-boots-the-emergency-services/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/452/magnum-boots-the-emergency-services/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:53:49 +0000 I'm on my second pair of Magnum Patrol ST's. I needed a boot that had protection both toe and sole but also comfortable and easy to put on even in the dark. Superb boots that last. Have worn them in seawater and on cliffs without problem. Wear them daily, even at the weekends if just popping out. very comfortable, more so than some of the trainers and walking boots I have. Replaced the first pair once the metal started shining at the toe but they lasted over a year. My current pair are a year old and are in daily use too. They also shine well, especially on parade. Next purchase will probably be a CT & antistatic pair. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/451/patrol-st/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/451/patrol-st/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:01:13 +0000 Currently wearing the Stealth Force 8.0 Leather boots, without a doubt the most confortable pair of boots i've worn for a while, i love the high sides that give great ankle support when walking hasty over the cliffs of Cornwall searching for a missing person or being lowered down the cliff to rescue a casualty. Not only that but even for everyday wearing, when i'm not responding but, as i am on call 24/7 often wear my boots daily to be prepared (thats the scout in me) i hardly notice that i am wearing them they are so light and confortable. Just love them. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/450/stealth-force-80-leather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/450/stealth-force-80-leather/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:09:13 +0000 what a great pair of boots. easy to run in and very comfortable indeed. wear these near enough every day and my feet do not hurt at all once i'm wearing these. these are a must buy. at first i was like these are to expensive for a pair off boots but these are different from the standard magnums that everyone wears. light so you can run in them just like trainers and comfortable just like trainers take a bit getting use to them but after a few hours you don't realise they are on. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/449/spider-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/449/spider-8/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:22:52 +0000 I know boots. I wear them all day and every day. I commute in motorcycle boots. I wear Doc Martins on the scooter. I wear clarks boots to go out in. I even have walking boots for my camping trips. Believe me thats alot of boots. I have tried them all for work as a serving Police officer and you cannot beat magnums for instant comfort and versitility. I think this is probably my third pair. My public order boots are ok but too rigid and inflexible to drive comfortably in (my opinion) Dr Martins haven't got a thick enough footbed for winter use and others just dont go the distance. I might buy the basic cheapest version but pound to value they are the best. All that would make them the ultimate footwear-introduce a pair of the waterproof versions with additional leather on the tops so I can use them on the motorcycle to use the gears and brake lever and then I can get to work and keep the same pair on. Magnums rock!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/448/believe-me/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/448/believe-me/ Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:20:40 +0000 Hi I bought a pair of Magnum Midnite boots about two years ago. I have worn them for every shift and they are so comfortable. I have even wear worn them with jeans etc. when not at work. They required NO breaking in and have never hurt my feet in any way. The canvas parts have not worn at all and the innersoles are stil serviceable. My job entails me walking on the railway tracks in all weathers. My Magnums have worn very well and are just getting to the stage where I need to replace them. They still polish up very well and look smart enough to wear in the office. I cannot reccomend these boots enough. Our issued boots are a nightmare to break-in and just do not look as smart. My only complaint is that the Midnite seems not to be available in the UK any more. Did I say they were comfortable? Oh and they are lightweight so whilst a long shift can be tiring the boots don not weigh you down ! Also for the wear I have had out of them they were great value. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/447/the-most-comfortable-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/447/the-most-comfortable-boots-ever/ Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:17:04 +0000 I have been wearing these boots for about two years nearly daily, always during wet days. At the time i bought them, they were a bit cheaper than today, though the current price is definitely reasonable for such great boots. First of all, the build quality. These boots are meant to be comfortable for hard tactical use, but at the same time, to last a long time. I have had no major issues with it. However, after extensive use, several weak points are beginning to show. First of all, the leather is starting to separate from the sole a little bit. Second, the EVA foam has become crushed over daily use and doesn't cushion anymore as it used to. Third, the tongue of the boot is made of fake leather and it will not last forever (some wear on my pair, can be seen in the photo). Fourth, the part of the boot between the insole and the midsole is made of some paper-like material, which accumulates moisture and is not sturdy at all, therefore it all has broken down and the metal plate is all rusty (the rivets have been gone forever for a long time now). Other than these design issues, it is a really sturdy boot. All the materials are of high quality and worth the price. Next, the comfort of the boot. After extensive use, i have found them to be extremely good, especially during long walks. However, at the beginning i have had some issues with it, because somehow the left boot was made a bit differently than the right, though after some time this problem disappeared. I have done several hikes with them, including two day hike of 40 kilometers, with a total walking time of 9 hours. Really fast walking was involved, though my feet were totally fine after it. These boots did not need no breaking-in, and i have had no blisters with wany socks whatsoever. Next, the perfomance in different weather. The waterproofness is not perfect. It has one point where it leaks, it is where the tongue meets the rest of the boot. If you step into a deep puddle, you will have water inside your shoe. However, during wet days in the town, it is completely waterproof. Your feet should be dry no matter what the downpour may be.During the hot period these boots are quite good (Although I wouldn't expect full leather boots to perform well in such conditions). The cambrelle padding manages the sweating quite well. If you have really hot weather, you'll get sweaty no matter what shoes you wear, so the performance is quite good. The shoelaces on these boots are extremely sturdy, whereas on other boots i have to change them every several months. However, they are a bit slippery, so i use a more secure knot. In conclusion, the boots are extremely good for their price. They have proven to be a perfect all-around boot and quite good for hard use. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/446/magnum-stealth-leather-ii/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/446/magnum-stealth-leather-ii/ Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:00:10 +0000 I have had my boots for almost a year and i find that they become loose almost every 10 to 20 mins but a part from that they are high performce boots, if you can find a way to stop them from being loose every 10 tp 20 mins email me at nemski22595@aol.com thanks http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/445/magnum-stealth-force-80-leathernylon/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/445/magnum-stealth-force-80-leathernylon/ Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:09:15 +0000 I have had a pair of these boots for about three years and they have been excellent. the soles are just starting to wear through, and i do some miles on my feet each day. the leather uppers are still in decent condition. the sole is very durable. my co-workers have gone through 3-4 pairs of boots in the same time period. highly recomended. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/443/magnum-patrol-cen-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/443/magnum-patrol-cen-boots/ Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:28:50 +0000 OK, I now have a pair of stealth boots. While they are comfortable, they dont quite meet the previous standard set by the Phantom. Aside from the lack of toe protection (not a major issue) the angle of the zip at times causes problems, particularly when unzipping them (dificult to put into words). While i understand the phantoms zip had its weaknesses, I did not find this problem with them. Also, the velcro at the top of the zip could possibly be bigger, as it is at times difficult to secure. Hope this makes sense. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/442/stealth/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/442/stealth/ Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:42:21 +0000 My first pair of Magnums, I went for what at the time I was advised as been the best of the best......they were. I loved them, untill the zip broke. Admitedly, this was three years down the line, and almost daily usage. Comfortable, toe protecters, no squeeking around hospital floors,.....excellent boots. I understand the boot is no longer made, so whats next? Can it be beaten? http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/441/phantoms/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/441/phantoms/ Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:32:53 +0000 I just bought my 3rd pair of magnum boots and I am anxious to try these . I am retired and I work at a golf course in the grounds maint. dept. from mid April till the end of Oct. The first 2 pair worked perfect as I am outside early every day. They have never leaked with all the dew and rain I have put them through on a daily basis and they are the most comfortable shoes I have worn. I usually wear these boots even when I am not working just because they are so comfortable. Last year I could not find these boots so I bought another make only to throw them out after 3 months and return to my old magnums which the leather on the steel toe was torn. Still comfortable and did not leak. When I found another dealer I ordered the Precision Ultra lite immediately. I just received them today and was impressed how light they are and the new waterproof treatment applied to them. I will be putting them to the test very soon even before I start at the golf course and I will review them soon. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/440/my-magmun-shoes/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/440/my-magmun-shoes/ Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:58:26 +0000 My initial review of the Magnum Elite Force WPI 8.0 tactical boots. My last 2 seconds got cut off somehow during the transfer, but I was saying I'll do a follow up. Great boots. It's another reminder to me that getting quality equipment pays off every time you wear or use it. Well worth the money especially if you wear your boots daily. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/438/elite-force-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/438/elite-force-wpi/ Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:53:42 +0000 Have been using these boots for three years now and can not fault them. They are at home on the streets of london, the office, in the field and on ops on Afghanistan. I use these boots every day and expect them to work for me. They do the job that is asked of them and when I'm in a high threat enviroment my feet are the last thing I have to think about thanks to magnum. Although I don't want to change boots I am keen to explore the rest of the magnum range. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/437/spider-elite/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/437/spider-elite/ Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:42:46 +0000 Hello, at least i wear the magnum protector and as i was informed that this boot is no longer available i would be pleased if i got the chance to test this new magnum boot. i think this new magnum boot will also fit all requirements in being an original magnum boot. I generally supply our emergency medical service with the protector boot an hope i got with this new boot, a nearly perfect new boot for further orders of my clients in germany. thanks and have a nice day torsten http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/436/my-thoughts/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/436/my-thoughts/ Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:43:56 +0000 In my fiield of environmental work, hazardous material remediation and response, I wear my Magnums on a daily basis and at times in the middle of the night. I have purchased and worn your boots for the past 15 years and have never thought about purchasing another brand. Your boots are light and rugged and stand the test of time through all the punishment I put them through. From wet and muddy remedial sites to petroleum spill response, your boots are the best. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/435/best-boots-ever/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/435/best-boots-ever/ Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:45:52 +0000 Magnum, I've owned several pairs of Magnum Classics & Elites and if they're anything to go by then the Ion-Mask boots will be superb. I owned the Classics for years before trying the Elites and the comfort difference was fantastic, it made a real difference. Currently I have 5 pairs of Classics & 2 Pairs of Elite Spiders (In Black & Tan). Keep up the good work!

For a pair of sub ?100 boots, you can't beat these particular boots for value and quality. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/432/magnums-great-for-security/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/432/magnums-great-for-security/ Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:08:34 +0000 I do a lot of fieldcraft and long walks and I have to say these are by far the best Boots I have ever worn, I've gone through a good 5 pairs of boots and this is the only pair that shows no signs of giving up.

We did at one stage change to a cheaper brand, but complaints led us straight back to Magnum. Great in all types of conditions a great all round boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/430/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/430/magnum-classics/ Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:17:21 +0000 Very good boot have been using them for a year now love them will not change boots ever again i am, buying a second pair tomorrow http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/429/magnums/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/429/magnums/ Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:14:39 +0000 i have had the same pair of hi-tec boots for nearly 3 years.i first bought my boots in a closing down sale.not good for him but very good for me. ?15.00. im not joking when i say since then i have purchased magnum swat boots not just as comfy but the style is nearly the same i wont know if the metal strip is at the sole of the mag boot but im in no hurry to find out. the mag boot unlike the older hi tec swat boot tends to rub at the leg a little & nip you above the heel,i wish magnum would style the new boot on the same lines as the hi-tec boot of old. bit more buffer on the upper leg and abit more strength above the heel to cure that nip but hey in a fast moving world, its still a damn good boot. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/428/tough-as-old-boots-well-nearly/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/428/tough-as-old-boots-well-nearly/ Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:31:05 +0000 Im climbing mount Snowdon in may this year for the charity Prostate Cancer Research Centre and i am currently training for my climb in beacon fell lancashire,873ft to the summit and my magnum boots have never let me down great boots and im sure they will get me to the top of Mount Snowdon in may.................................... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/427/mount-snowdon/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/427/mount-snowdon/ Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:18:07 +0000 Magnum boots got me to the summit of Beacon Fell in Lancashire 873ft this sunday................................ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/426/873-ft/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/426/873-ft/ Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:13:57 +0000 This is the second pair of magnum boots that I have. Working as a Hazmat technician I am in them all day every day of work. The extra padding on the tongue and sides helps when on uneven ground. I have added speed zips to the boots as I may need to change to full hazmat boots. Th composite plate gives extra piece of mind on the construction site. These are one of the best boots that I have worn in the last 12 years at this job. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/425/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/425/stealth-force-80-leather-ctcp/ Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:01:47 +0000 Hi in may this year i am climbing mount Snowdon for the charity Prostate Cancer Research Centre,,,,,i will be climbing the highest mounting in england and wales wearing my magnum boots they havnt let me down yet and i'm sure they wont at the top of england, i would gladly try your boots as a feild tester whilst climbing the mounting.......

Magnums dont have a breaking-in period just put them on and go. Wear them all day long with no problems, can even get a shine on them if you use parade gloss often enough, Brilliant! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/423/mr-d-reid/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/423/mr-d-reid/ Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:39:42 +0000 I am in the Austrian army in training becoming a career soldier. One aspect of my military education includes spending 6 months in the Golan Heights this winter. For that, I need boots that are comfortable and keep me dry as well. This remote location would certainly be an interesting area for these boots to be tested and they won't be the last pair of Magnum boots I'll own if I they are as good as they're supposed to be. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/422/looking-for-the-best-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/422/looking-for-the-best-boot/ Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:35:48 +0000 I have now officially broken into the boots and am starting to feel the benefits. Last night I was out walking around varied terrain, through fields, uneven roads/paths, up and down steps and most of all in the thick of snow. I was amazed, genuinely amazed at how dry my feet were and how warm. I have worn other boots that claim to keep you feet warm in the cold and never really did so. These boots did not let me down, whilst I was searching for someone, getting concerned to the weather conditions, I genuinely said to myself "These boots are bloody good and warm" The boots have become very comfortable, almost like having trainers on, but with added comfort and cosy. I am extremely impressed with the waterproof of the boot. Again plenty of boots claim to be waterproof but must not be to a high quality, where as these boots, probably helps with the comfort and heat. The snow just fell of my boots, where as my colleagues were building up and becoming colder. The water, having stood in a few inch puddles, did not even bother the boots, and as soon as I pulled my foot out of the puddle the boot looked bone dry. Along with the waterproof texture, the maintanence of the boot is second to none. I had mood on my boots, very small bits whereas my previous boots would be caked in them. The dirt does not tend to stick, and just falls off, the very little mark that did, wiped straight off without any problem and was instantly clean again. So far I am very impressed, I am becoming more impressed as the weeks go on and as the boots are being tested more. Would I recommend these boots - Yes! More reviews to follow to see if the boots keep raising the bar! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/421/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-2-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/421/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-2-review/ Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:03:03 +0000 I have owned a pair of Magnum boots for about a year now and I would have never believed the difference between issue boots and Magnums. I went for the Magnums because they are slightly higher than the normal ones. From the 1st second they went onto my feet it was almost like slipping into ski-boots, after a little while they started bedding in to my feet. The support at the achilles tendon area is unreal, unlike issue or most other boots the support at the back of the boot goes soft after its bedded in which causes friction and therefore blisters on the heel area, I did a training course last year in issue boots and came back to 2 hours of popping blisters, so I was a little concerned when the next one came up and this time wearing the Magnums. The course was a breeze with these boots on and I felt as if I could do it all again my feet were so comfortable. If prospective buyers are wondering whether to buy or not? then do not hesitate, get em on! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/420/magnum-elite-a-must-read/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/420/magnum-elite-a-must-read/ Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:56:38 +0000 I need a very strong boot that last a long time with walking as I carry heavy papers about 5 miles a day in all kinds of weather, speed over 300 on a pair that I lasted only 6 months as the soles disappeared if you boot will work for me I am up for getting pair! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/419/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/419/boots/ Sun, 21 Feb 2010 07:14:59 +0000 I've done it all. Joined the ARMY at 17 and wore issued COMBAT 95 boots and DANNER MATTERHORN's when it got cold. Left at 21 and joined the Fire Service and wore issued FIREBOOTS when it got hot. Left at 30, joined the Police and have worn Magnum CLASSICS almost every single shift since! Why? Simple. They are the most comfortable, best value boots money can buy. I live in the Lake District and do alot of fell walking. Down the years i've had LOWA's and ALTBERG's, so you can see i've had almost all of the most popular brands of boots. And my verdict...the CLASSIC is a LEGEND. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/418/classic-or-legend/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/418/classic-or-legend/ Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:01:52 +0000 I was lucky enough to be selected as an Official Field Tester and was offered a completely free pair of Magnum Ion-Mask Boots. I have to admit that I was a little sceptical as to why anyone was going to send me a completely free pair of boots! I was convinced by the nice man at Magnum, and a few days later the delivery man delivered me by brand new boots! 1st impressions.. A very nice looking, lightweight tactical boot. Well built, as to be expected with Magnum. I did have a slight concern, that due to their panelled leather build that they were going to be difficult to get a good polish shine on them. I was excited to get to work and try the boots out. I did struggle at first to get them tied to the right comfort, but after a few attempts I soon got the level and putting the boots on became second nature. So.. I was impressed with the boots from day one. Most definately one of the most comfortable pairs of lightweight boots I've ever worn. I've worn these boots daily at work over 10 hour shifts and have never been let down by them. Over the past few months we've had some extreme weather what with the floods and snow, and the Ion-Mask boots have done me proud. It's very reassuring to know that you don't have to worry about your feet getting wet, and just get on with the job. A few months later, and I have nothing bad to say about the boots. Arguably the best lightweight waterproof tactical boot on the market. And an important quality as a frontine officer, a quiet sole. No longer do I have to worry that when sneeking up on groups or houses that they are going to hear me coming! So.. The Big Question.. Would I recommend them to my friends and colleagues? In a word.. Definately! Comfortable, Lightweight Waterproof boots that allow me to get on with the job without having to worry about avoiding puddles so that my feet don't get wet. And my initial concern about polishing them.. not a problem. A good sized toe box on them means that they will nicely bull up for those important Court Trials or Awards Ceremonies.. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/417/free-boots-magnum-ion-mask/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/417/free-boots-magnum-ion-mask/ Sat, 20 Feb 2010 16:32:54 +0000 I have been a paramedic for 17 years and worn many different boots, till I came across Magnum Storm II boots. These boots are the most comfortable pair of boots I have worn, even after long 12 hour shifts my feet no longer feel tired and sore. I have worn these boots in all weathers too and so far not let me down. Have recomended them to colleagues and they have been very pleased with them. Sadly now have to replace them and looking at the magnum stealth 8. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/416/hi-tech-magnum-storm-ii-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/416/hi-tech-magnum-storm-ii-boots/ Sat, 20 Feb 2010 11:35:06 +0000 I've been wearing a pair of magnum boots for almost 5 years now, and still in good shape. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/415/boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/415/boots/ Sat, 20 Feb 2010 04:06:01 +0000 Hi there, I´ve been thinking for a while to buy a pair of magnum boots, since I do much outside work in my office job. Since lots of people talk good online of this label I was looking at the catalogue; at first I was thinking of the Stealth Force 8.0 Leather then I came cross with this new model. Either way, It seems there are no stores/sales representives in Portugal...? Thanks. Nuno RC http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/414/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/414/magnum-boots/ Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:56:03 +0000 Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/413/robert-jones/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/413/robert-jones/ Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:42:30 +0000 When my Magnum Classic boots needed to be replaced after 2 and half years of service. I needed a boot that could go that long and more and offer the same realiability and protection that the classic had. It was berween the Spider and the Elite II. My decision was made for me by the company of which i purchased the boots. After sending the wrong ones in the post, I recieved the Magnum Elite II. All I have to say about that company is Thank you. These boots are the new generation of boots. They have everything that the classic had and more. With a new lacing system that ment that i could put on the boots and lace up within a matter of seconds and they actually feel as if they are part of your foot. They still have the comfort factor with built in Thermo-Dri Insulation to keep my foot from smelling (something that comes with certain boots. Non of them magnum.) It also keeps my foot dry with its Breathable Sympatex Membrane Constuction. The one problem that accord with the classic was the wearing of the sole, something that i am glad to say has not happened with the elite boot and still after nearly 3years of realiable service it is still as if they are brand new. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/412/magnum-elite-ii-a-new-generation/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/412/magnum-elite-ii-a-new-generation/ Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:31:32 +0000 Starting off as a Police Community Support officer 5 years ago, I decided to invest in a pair of Magnum Classic Boots. I was informed that these would be reliable, and up to the task of spending 80% of my duty time on the streets. I was not to be disapointed. They kept my feet warm and dry and they were extremely comfortable throughout my shift at work. They looked smart and were an ideal starting boot for the job that I do. The one problem I had was the wearing down of the sole, which seemed to happen rather quickly, but this didn't affect the overall feel and comfort of the boot and made it to two and half years of sevice before being replaced. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/411/magnum-classic-a-great-starter-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/411/magnum-classic-a-great-starter-boot/ Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:12:23 +0000 I just bought brand new Magnum ELITE boots and I must say that they are just what I have expected. Before I bought them I had Magnum Regular boots and I must say that ELITE II have better lacing system, are even more comfortable, have better protection (mine ELITE II are Protective ISO20345 S3 Certified), and they offer more support to the leg. Despite their sturdy look and feeling they perform very good and when worn they are maneuverable. I cant say about their durability, since I haven't got the time to wear the out and I am quite sure that I will need a long time to wear them out. As far as the lacing system goes, I like the fast lacing system, because you just pull and tie the laces and you are done. They are definitely worth the price. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/410/magnum-elite-ii-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/410/magnum-elite-ii-8/ Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:04:06 +0000 thnx MAGNUM 4 making souch a good boots...now i can do my job even better....it has been almost a year since i buy magnum boots and finaly my foot are fine now even fater 12 hours of working in them .every day ....THNX MAGNUM...i will buy again your boots ;) http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/409/soilder-of-armed-forces-bosnia-herzegovina/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/409/soilder-of-armed-forces-bosnia-herzegovina/ Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:07:38 +0000 in my job i need footware that can be worn for upto 24 hrs with out giving any problems i,ve tried the cheaper copies they just dont last 6 years ago i was involved in a nasty motorcycle accident in short the paramedic said that my right foot was only saved frombeing crushed and torn off was my boots!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/408/best-boots-that-give-you-all-support-you-need/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/408/best-boots-that-give-you-all-support-you-need/ Tue, 16 Feb 2010 10:35:47 +0000 very comfortable boots and extra light http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/407/elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/407/elite-spider-80/ Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:47:23 +0000 Back again. Another review for a separate type of boots. I was lucky enough to trial a pair of Magnum Shields, the public order type version of the WPi boot. I wore them for 3 shifts last week to break them in to see how they felt. I was extremely surprised to say the least. When they are taken out the box, they look like an extremely sturdy boot, as you would expect. When i put them on my feet they felt much the same as the Elite Force but still had that rugged, secure feeling you would expect from a PO boot. Walking around in them felt great and gave me no problems whatsoever. There has been a great improvement on the laces for the Shields in my opinion. I had a couple of jogs in them just to see how they would feel and again, pleasantly surprised as i could hardly feel them on my feet however they still retain that sturdy feel. Certainly a boot that i would recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade to an extrememely professional public order boot. Definetly worth the money.

The first couple of days were 50/50, the boots were uncomfortable where they rested below my calf. It was tender from the thickness of the padding. The padding was hard but can happily say once they are broken in, they softened up and are now very comfortable. I was obtimistic at first due to the size of them but I have taken a shine to the boots. They have not really been tested fully, but have been used mainly for walking around and general comfort. My feet feel very comfortable, secure and are not tired after a long shift. The inner soles certainly help. Overall after week one - Very comfortable having needed a few days to settle in, they feel beefy but damn good and feel like they are the 'boss' of boots. When I originally said they looked like space boots, they do, but look normal with the correct trousers, i.e combats. I feel safe in the boots because they are built like a tank and no matter what I walk in, I know it doesn't matter. I love the strength of the laces, very strong, no messing. They are breathable and feel right **So far so good** http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/403/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-1-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/403/elite-force-80-wpi-size-12-week-1-review/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:48:12 +0000 I have two pair of side zip water proof Magnum boots. Have been wearing them for about two years. Very comfortable. Only complaint is I have had trouble with the zippers on both pair. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/402/lieutenant/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/402/lieutenant/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:12:11 +0000 Just finished a duty at an interprovincial rugby match, my Elite II Series were as they always are so comfortable!!

Every time I am in the field I wear my Magnum boots. With them comes the reassurance that no matter what I may be called do, my feet will be able to handle. I have spent time walking around in four feet of snow and still at the end of my shift my feet are warm and dry. Included in that is the feel of almost like a walking shoe, and with the eight inch height I get the added support needed in my line of work. That is why anytime I need a boot to fit my needs and my lifestyle, I turn to Magnum boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/400/actively-using/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/400/actively-using/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:21:52 +0000 In six years in law enforcement I have used Magnum boots and had no issue with them what so ever. In fact, the ones I use now are two years old and still work exactly the same as the day I received them. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/399/reliable/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/399/reliable/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:14:54 +0000 estupendas botas para el trabajo policial http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/398/menudas-botas/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/398/menudas-botas/ Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:57:16 +0000 tough, comfortable, last for ages and slylish, what els can I say.

Can't say enough, they really are amazing and are really hard wearing. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/396/elite-ii-series-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/396/elite-ii-series-boots/ Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:30:47 +0000 For 2 years i wear Magnum Boots type Protector. There for i wear 20 years the Dutch army boots. The Magnum boots are much lighter then the Dutch one. And the comfort is also better. Today i buy the stealth force 8.0 These are matching better using it at my work, i think. In 3 months i will write a review over this boots. By. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/394/magnum-is-good/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/394/magnum-is-good/ Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:05:20 +0000 An initial review of the Magnum Spider 8.0 tactical boot. Light, strong, practical, and comfortable indoors at room temperature or outside in the bone chilling cold. These breathe, but even spending a half hour in -7*F (-22* C) my feet stayed warm. You can't ask for much more than that. Slip resistance on ice is good, but not exceptional. Nice boot for everyday use. Light and fast as well. Haven't fully broken them in yet though, so I can't attest to their durability. Comfortable as far as cushoining and fit. The cushioning isn't too much or too little. It seems just right. One thing I should add is, when buying Magnum boots, always order one size smaller than what you typically wear. For instance, I'm usually a size US 11, but with Magnum boots, I'm a US 10.5. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/393/elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/393/elite-spider-80/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:52:37 +0000 Ive been in Pest Control for 5 years now. Being on my feel for 8-10 hours a day they need to be comfortable and they need to perform as well as I do. In a job where you constantly deal with chemicals, liquids, heat during the summer, and hazardous situations where you deal with bird feces, rodent feces, dead animals etc... I need to make sure that my boots keep me safe when I'm performing my job to keep my client safe...Magnums are what I use. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/392/boots-that-make-the-difference/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/392/boots-that-make-the-difference/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:35:46 +0000 I graduated the Police Academy in Tifton, GA in 2004 at the time I bought a pair of Thorogood boots to get me through the academy. I blew the zipper on those boots and wore them out within the 10 weeks of Academy training. When I got home to take to the Road, I went to a local shoe store and they had a pair of the Magnum boots with the large zipper on the side of them. After getting the boots wore in they were worn almost daily while on Duty. It took me a year to wear the leather on the boot, and the rubber sole on them never wore out. I was impressed with the boots that I bought a new pair. I am currently working on my sixth year of Police work I put these boots to the test every day and love the durability that they have. Thank you for awesome boots Magnum. Cpl. Aaron J.

I want the new elite waterproof boots.There are nothing like a magnum boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/387/incredible/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/387/incredible/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:27:14 +0000 I got my first pair of Magnums in May 2007, and instantly loved them. Before I came across Magnum boots, I had been buying Caterpillar and Stone Creek boots, and going through them every 6 months or so. I'm VERY hard on my boots! When I tried on the Magnums, I couldn't believe how light and comfy they were - compared to other boots, it was like wearing nothing at all. That first pair of boots came with me to 3 festivals (were shoes and boots often die) and were worn everyday for 2 years, usually for over 7 hours at a time, and over distances of at least 5 miles. Unfortunately the sole began to become very worn down (and quite slippery in wet) so I bought myself a new pair. They've been to 2 festivals so far, and been worn virtually every day since then. I don't think I'll ever get boots that aren't Magnums! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/386/magnum-classic-cen/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/386/magnum-classic-cen/ Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:04:26 +0000 Working in a sporting goods store now and going to school as a CJ student I plan on opening a tactical store in Ohio and really want to try the boots but all my money is going into getting the store together I don't have the money to buy things for myself. Magnum, help me out please! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/385/work/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/385/work/ Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:41:20 +0000 Great comfy boot to just put on straight away and use.. Keep feet cool enough in desert conditions. Only criticism is that sole so comfy that if walking on stoney ground you do tend to feel each one. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/384/magnum-amazon-5/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/384/magnum-amazon-5/ Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:24:17 +0000 I'd never tried magnums before but in training for the nijmegan marches thought they would be ideal...and i am never going back to my old assault boots now! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/383/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/383/new-boots/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:24:09 +0000 I have worn Magnum Boots 5 days a week for four years, they are very hard wearing, extremely comfortable and always clean up very well. For a big sturdy boot you hardly even know your wearing them. Stylish Safe and very very Comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/382/best-boots-money-can-buy/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/382/best-boots-money-can-buy/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:36:56 +0000 Magnum boots are the best military boots I know. I wear them every day at work. I have the Magnum elite II WP myself and i'm very happy that i bought these boots. You can wear them at all times. I have mine for about 1 year now and they are still oke! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/381/magnum-boots-are-fantastic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/381/magnum-boots-are-fantastic/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:22:34 +0000 Hi there, I am currently working in the private medical sector after ten years in the NHS A/E scene. My first boots were classic CEN boots, comfortable and hard wearing. Although extremley slippery when encountering wet hospital floors as seemed to lose all grip and was like walking on sheet ice sometimes but apart from that really good boots, and still going after 20 years! so much so I sold them for ?20.00! Now wearing Stealth Force 6 ct/cp boots, these were initiallyy stiff on the first two days around heel and top of boot, on day three no longer stiff and a joy to wear. Easy to get on and off - unlike the original CENs which took ages! Looking to try out the Magnum insole with these new boots and the quick release zip if there is one for these boots, although in fairness the Stealth Force 6 doesn't need a zip as easy to get on/off. One thing I have noticed is that the leather seems to mark very easily which makes bulling the boots a pain when the leather scuffs so easy, apart from that nothing else to report at this stage http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/380/stealth-force-6-ctcp/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/380/stealth-force-6-ctcp/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:57:23 +0000 Four years ago I bought a pair of 8" magnum force boots; they were originally intended to be my boots for going to the gym, because I hate shoes. After breaking them in and going to the gym a few times, I ended up having to rush out of the house a few times, throwing my comfy MF boots on. Got a job where I needed to stand and walk around alot. The boots were slightly uncomfortable, so I bought some gel insoles, not a problem. I could wear them all day in summer without my feet getting too hot, or being uncomfortable. I further tested my boots by attending a local car show that lasted saturday and sunday. I went both days, and never had a problem with my boots. Come winter, I was still wearing them, but the zipper broke on one boot broke, so I got it replaced, once again, no more problems! The only advice I have for your magnum boots; toss in a gel insole if they get uncomfortable, you'll be glad you did. Be careful how you pull up the zipper, or it might break. If you tie them often instead of using the zipper, head to the local army surplus and get a pair of laces made from nylon paracorde. These laces will take years to break, and even then you can melt the ends, press them together, and fixed for a long time until you can get another pair. I give the magnum force boots an 8 out of 10. -1 point for the uncomfortable insole once the boots are broken in. -1 for the zipper break http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/379/my-favorite-pair-of-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/379/my-favorite-pair-of-boots/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:18:12 +0000 How good are Magnum Classics.. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/378/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/378/magnum-classics/ Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:32:21 +0000 I have been going to Glastonbury festival since 1997 and If ever you need something good on your feet it is there. I was very lucky the first year i went, as my friend had just finished 9 years in the Royal Marines and was back home. He gave me his Magnum waterproof boots at the last minute before I left.(thank god) It turned out to be the wettest year ever, it stared raining on Friday night and did not stop till Saturday morning. When i got out my tent, it was like a lake only feet away from are camp. I walked around all day in 5 inches of water.(my feet were dry at the end of the day) But!!! the boots came into there own when the water turned to 8-10 inches of mud. Peoples wellington boots were being pulled off by the suction and getting stuck in the mud. I just stomped past dry feet and all I did laugh as people were trying to retrieve their boot out of the mud, on one leg so not to put their sock in the mud (It resulted in them going in 8 out of 10 times) SPLAT I bought a pair of after that and they did me proud for over 10 years but have finally had to much abuse. I was hoping i get a free pair for this years Glastonbury. If not i will have to buy a pair, as there really is no other boot to have on your feet in extreme terrain. IF YOUR GOING TO GLASTONBURY THIS YEAR, IT MIGHT NOT RAIN BUT IT HAS FOR 9 OF THE LAST 10 YEARS AND WHEN 250,000 PEOPLE WALK ON IT, IT GETS MUDDY. SO BUY SOME MAGNUM WATERPROOF OR ION-MASK. OR PAY THE PRICE OF BEING THAT MUD MONSTER YOU SEE ON NEWS. LOT OF LOVE NIG. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/377/glastonbury-wellys-dont-cut-it/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/377/glastonbury-wellys-dont-cut-it/ Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:07:50 +0000 Hi, through my time in service, and more recently working with ProParamedics, i have managed to wear several pairs of the classic boots to the point of complete distruction. Great boot and good to see the company has now got many others also on offer. Jonny http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/376/magnum-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/376/magnum-classic/ Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:24:30 +0000 For my job as a postman i have to wear company issued magnum boots for 8 hours every single day. The boots are fantastic, i couldn't recommend them enough to anyone. They really are comfortable and utilitarian. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/375/everyday-used-everyday-brilliant/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/375/everyday-used-everyday-brilliant/ Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:22:30 +0000 First impressions; First Impressions were that they seemed like space boots. The heels/Soles appear chuncky. There is plenty of padding especially around the ankle which I like. The laces appear very strong so good to see that these wont snap in a hurry. Boots On; I had plenty of room inside to breathe, there is adaquate support for the ankle area. I am used to the mid length boots so I had protection well above the ankle. These cover the ankle well and are very well padded, which I believe will help when using your foot on the pedals in the car, giving you room to move. Laces; The laces feed through nicely on lace loops, when I say this, I mean they don't get snagged or jammed and when you pull them, they tighten. Souds stupid I know but I have had plenty of Magnums where you pull the laces to tighten and they get jammed on the many lace loops. Grip; The grip looks damn good! I am impressed with the grip that goes up the back of the heel. Why? Think about when your driving and its been raining or you have been outside in a puddle, the heel of the boot is the first thing that slips and when your driving at speed, you have no time for errors caused by slippery boots. So its good to see these have been added. The sole is designed by VIBRAM which are known world leaders in high performance when it comes to soles and grips. Its reassuring to see these 2 great companies have teamed together. As always the sole is oil & slip resistant. Overall Pro's - Impressive, breatheable and strong Con's Bulky, higher sole, appear to look like space boots. ****************************************************** Above review is based on initial views and comfort. Further reviews will start on how the boots perform out on the job and their all round performance.

As a Royal Marine for over a decade my boots have travelled more than their fair share of miles, in both urban and rural environments, through dry desserts and over wind swept moors, and never once have they let me down. If you are looking for a pair of boots that are lightweight, comfortable, reliable and durable in all environments, especially when you need to look after your feet because your survival depends on it, you will struggle to find a better make. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/369/magnum-boots-review/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/369/magnum-boots-review/ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:04:56 +0000 have been looking for some new boots, had some hi tec weatherpoof boots, now thay are on there last legs,sorry about the pun. thay have lasted so well, i go to glastonbury evey year, what more do i have to say, finding it hard to buy these new ion mask boots, even on there own web site theres none on sale, whats all that about, http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/368/ion-mask-boots-hidding-behind-the-ion-mask/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/368/ion-mask-boots-hidding-behind-the-ion-mask/ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:13:46 +0000 I have been wearing the Magnum Elite Spider 8.0 boots for wellover two years, including deployment to Afghanistan. These boots are one of the lightest, most hard wearing boots that i have ever had the pleasure of owning. . Being very durable and lightweight means that you know your feet will be taken care of in any situation. Deployed and during a normal working day my feet remain cool and the flexibility means that it does not feel like im wearing military boots. When it comes to booted runs they perform as trainers and enable my distance and endurance to be extended. The vibram sole means that i do not have a problem when it comes to walking on the most slippery surfaces. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/367/elite-spider-80/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/367/elite-spider-80/ Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:48:28 +0000 Due to an accident several years ago I have metal pins and plates in my ankle, so I need footwear that is stable and comfortable. Smart shoes tend to dig in, right at the point where the pins are, which causes a lot of pain, so I generally wear boots. Most boots take a hell of a lot of wearing in which is a nightmare for me. I tried a pair of Elite II as a friend recommended them as being easy to wear straight away and smart enough for everyday wear around the office. It only took two weeks before I ordered a pair of Spiders for going out, they're smart enough not to be mistaken for trainers by door staff and I can dance all night without the slightest ache in my ankle(though unfortunately they can't make me dance any better:)). http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/366/easy-wear/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/366/easy-wear/ Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:15:26 +0000 In my last review I apologised for not uploading a video; and I'm still sorry - no video with this one either!! I also hoped for a bit of inclement weather so that I could put my boots through their paces. So, we've had a couple of weeks of ice and snow (up to 18 inches in some parts). Throughout all of it my feet have stayed warm and dry. As the boots are uninsulated, I was a little concerned that I'd get frostbite and lose toes and things because of the cold, (as most of my colleauges using the uninsulated Patrol boots were constantly complaining of cold/numb toes and feet), I felt warm and comfortable throughout my night shifts; even the one when the temp dropped to minus 15!!!!!! I'll try and get a video on my next review; or at least a photo! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/365/no-video-yet-but-lots-of-bad-weather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/365/no-video-yet-but-lots-of-bad-weather/ Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:02:55 +0000 starting new job , involves cold weather ,ice and lots of wet weather must have the best . lightest ,waterproof ,comfortable boots i can get http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/364/new-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/364/new-boots/ Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:41:30 +0000 got a pair of stealth force 8.0 wp. i usually wear during my job (police officer), after 7/8 hours of walking i feel very relaxed. i think that they're probably the best pair of boots i ever used..for sure!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/363/joblife/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/363/joblife/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:44:19 +0000 I have been wearing Magnum boots since 5 years becauase of my occupation.I bought my first Magnum for my internship than it continues... The Magnum boots with Ion-Mask technology are a step further of footwear. I will buy one immediately when I could find. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/362/a-step-further/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/362/a-step-further/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:42:47 +0000 I have always loved Magnum shoes and side-zip waterproof are my favorites. I primarily use them as winter boots to walk in the snow, it's such a piece of mind to know that your feet will remain dry and warm even in ankle deep slush. I also use the boots for long walks as the models I pick are light-weight models and provide good ankle support. I AM VERY EAGER TO TRY THE ELITE FORCE WPi SHOES. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/361/magnum-fan/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/361/magnum-fan/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:47:01 +0000 Hi folks, Just got the great news that i am now an official Field Tester for these wonderful Magnum Elite Force WPi 8.0 and also the Shield edition. I changed over to the Magnums after doing a boot test and review for www.ukpoliceonline.co.uk. It was the best decision i have made. As soon as the boot comes out the box it looks extremely well made and sturdy. As soon as you put it on, your feet feel very secure, as if the boots are vacumed on! As a police officer, the fact that the boots feel secure around the feet and the ankles is extremely important for me given the fact that we often jump fences, run through fields, rugged terrain etc. The leather on the Elite Force WPi is also easy to polish up for any duties you perform which need your boots to be sparkling clean. It says alot for the boots also that since i put them on in September, i have not come home from work with my feet feeling wet. Totally and utterly waterproff. The only boot to buyin my opinion. Thanks, Pete http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/360/magnum-elite-force-80-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/360/magnum-elite-force-80-wpi/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:20:45 +0000 During my tours in the military no matter stationed in the states or overseas... I have worn Magnums on the job. They keep my feet on the ground without slipping. I worked anywhere from 8 hours shifts to 24 hours on my feet. They have saved me from lower back pains that I have endured during my time in the service... Now as a DOD Contractor I still wear them and they are great!!! Keep up the great work as many of my fellow service members and Vets love them on their feet!!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/358/comfort-on-long-daysnight-shifts-world-wide/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/358/comfort-on-long-daysnight-shifts-world-wide/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:51:15 +0000 Magnum boots are the best boots in the world in my opinion. I would love to be a field tester! I could not imagine anyone more suited to test these new boots than me, or any other UPS driver for that matter. We work up to 14 hours a day during Christmas time, work in the rain, snow, summer, and in the spring during flood season. Keeping our feet dry while staying comfortable is a must. We climb stairs driveways, and sometimes hills covered with muddy grass. In short I would love to field test these new boots. Light weight, comfortable, and durable all sum up Magnum boots. I will not wear any other for the rest of my UPS career, it's been 10 years now and I have done it all in Magnums. There is no equal in my mind Terry D. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/357/ups-driver/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/357/ups-driver/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:56:48 +0000 I really love these boots, it is winter, sleet and sh... weather here. Everybody was slip-sliding all over the place, and I was pretty surprised at my boots. Despite the tough, hard soles I had enough grip for a little sprint. Only too bad about the wet feet, as the ice broke I found myself knee-deep in it......... But my magnums dried nice and fast, I put them nice and close to the stove, I know I shouldn't, but no worse for wear. Again, great stuff.... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/356/been-at-it-again/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/356/been-at-it-again/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:23:32 +0000 I am a member of a sheriff's dept. special ops. team and all I wear for it is magnum boots. They are comfortable when I am on my feet for hours. They also give me a lot of foot support. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/354/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/354/magnum-boots/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:48:13 +0000 On the 3rd January 2010 I was involved in a foot chase. As a former 200m/400m sprinter I can move rather swiftly and considering I was chasing smart mouthed teenagers there was no way I was going to let them outrun me as I've never lost a foot chase in nearly 20yrs. At top speed my foot clipped a rock, which sent me plumiting to the ground. I ended up putting a rock through my left knee and into my tendon. I knew I hit the ground hard and fast as I must have been running at 40-50km/hr. What amazed me the most that even though I had seriously injured my knee, my 5yr old Magnum Stealth II Leather Side Zip boots had saved my feet, ankle and toes from any injury what so ever. I hit the rock with such force I tore the toe of the boot completely from the leather upper on both sides of the boot. After receiving 8 stitches to my knee and returning home and hosing all the blood out of my boot from my knee, I simply applied some military shine boot polish to the boots since they were scratched to oblivion, and they polished right up immediately and the scratches are barely noticeable. Now that's what I call a boot! Comfortable to wear, long lasting and protects your feet, ankles and legs like steel! I have no doubt if it wasn't for these boots I would have suffered more serious injuries to my feet, toes and ankles. Thank you Magnum boots! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/353/saved-from-serious-injury/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/353/saved-from-serious-injury/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:11:57 +0000 Once again my Magnums have proved their worth, last weekend in the freezing cold and driving rain I stood rather dejectedly awaiting a recovery vehicle for a 2 car collision. My feet were the only part of me to remain warm and dry. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/352/wet-work/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/352/wet-work/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:00:28 +0000 Living,Working,Fishing,Hunting,Working Out. The boots to sleep in!! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/351/out-standing-boot/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/351/out-standing-boot/ Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:15:24 +0000 As a middle manager for the largest Crowd Management Company in Europe, I've had plenty of chances to put my Magnum boots throught their paces. From manning the doors of licensed premises to leading Incident Response Teams at major outdoor festivals, they have always been dependable and never once let me down. My first pair of Elite II Leather/Nylon boots were a blessing after trialling much heavier British Military all leather counterparts. The boots took no breaking in time whatsoever, felt light and comfortable from the word 'go', and yet offered the kind of support one would expect from a high leg tactical boot. Importantly for my job, they look smart under trousers but offer an impressive set of features. The Vibram soles are comfortable and flex with the movement of your feet. They grip well in most conditions, and I've only ever fallen twice while running to incidents in a nightclub that is notorious for its slippery dancefloor! They are excellent for driving in as well, even when the whelts are clogged with mud from festival campsites. They are easy to clean and maintain, being mostly leather, and I can vouch for the waterproof membrane living up to expectations, having had my feet partially submeged for several hours in British summer downpours. In summary, as tough as the military's finest, but without the weight and discomfort. I bought the Elite Spiders reluctantly, as I had wanted a second (spare) pair of Elite II's. My decision was mainly prompted by the need for a pair for smart indoor use, and another pair for heavy duty outdoor festivals. The Elite II's were versatile and worked in both, but unfortunately I couldn't keep up with them in terms of cleaning them at short notice! For anyone working in security/door supervision with no risk of foot deep mud or torrential rain one day after the next, I'd thorougly recommend the Spiders. What they lack in waterproof membrane, they more than make up for in other areas. They are lighter than I thought was possible, and at first I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to take the punishment of my work activities. Once again Magnum, you've proven me wrong. The Vibram sole is exceptional. It feels more like a running shoe than a boot and I am 100% confident that my grip is secure on any surface, even when moving at speed and changing direction. They are covered in holes and vents to let your feet breath, and if they do get wet, they'll dry much quicker than boots with a membrane. They are a little more difficult to polish due to the ventilated areas but this is nit picking really. I also found that they took a little getting used to for driving in at first. The soles are that well cushioned I couldn't feel the pedals! Despite their light weight the Spiders offer superp protection and stability, with thick padding and scuff pads in all the right places on the outside of the boot. I have occasionaly even had to kick through toilet cubicle doors and they offered superior shock absorbtion in this role. They are easy to lace and quick to get on and off. Although they look a little strange and 'modern' in the pictures, they have served me well on more formal occasions under a pair of trousers. the leather on the toe and heel polishes up nicely. I managed to convince a few of my colleagues to buy a pair and I'm sure it's no coincidence that we are always the first in attendance when there is a crowd disturbance. All in all a great pair of boots for those whom hold speed of movement and comfort in high regard, and who mostly work in a dryish/indoor environment. I'm actually so impressed with mine that I intend to buy a sand coloured pair for when I'm not working to wear with my jeans. Hopefully, the new Ion Shield technology will combine the best attributes of both these boots, by offering super light weight and protection from the elements at the same time. This has to be the way forward, and I look forward to getting myself a pair when I eventually wear out my Spiders (which should take a while). I hope this useful to anyone thinking about purchasing some top notch gear. Thanks again Magnum, keep up the good work! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/350/thoroughly-reviewed-elite-iis-and-elite-spiders/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/350/thoroughly-reviewed-elite-iis-and-elite-spiders/ Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:59:17 +0000 I work as a military engineer and wear these boots 7 hours a day.They keep my feet comfortable with all the walks I do in and around our military base.

I am on duty for twenty-four hours at a time and need to be ready to react at any given moment. My Magnum Spider elite help me stay ready by providing a comfortable boot that doesn't contribute to fatigue or sore feet. We experience every extreme form of weather in Kansas from tornadoes and severe thunder storms to blizzards and bone chilling winds. As a public servant, I need to be able to adjust my reactions and treatments to my environment. I need to know my tools and gear will withstand these extremes. It is a peace of mind to me, and I imagine my patients, that I am focused on patient care and not wet, cold, tired feet. I believe Magnum, by far, exceeds my expectations on footwear and I look forward to wearing them again tomorrow. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/343/ems-in-kansas/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/343/ems-in-kansas/ Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:27:01 +0000 Only back from a 72hr excerise on the ground covered a distance of 135km on concrete-tarmac-grass-shingle-marsh.hard going,but with my Magnum boots and Bridgedale socks i found my feet were the least affected of all my body with pains,of my section 2 of us have Magnums and found it was not as hard on the feet as we had tought .A good investment.Again reliable,tuff,and let your feet breathe. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/342/72-hr-excerise/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/342/72-hr-excerise/ Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:41:19 +0000 Currently I work on a fire department (22 years) and as a National Certified EMT (14 years). On a day to day basis, I put the Magnum boots through a rigerous workout ranging from rescues in ditches to standing or walking through wooded areas on searches in SE Minnesota. The Magnum boots are constanly put through water, mud and fire debris. I think that I would be an excellent candidate to test your boots on situations that normal people would not normally be in.

Its the best and only fusion that the human body can accept and get confort with, as when one has fitted into, its no hustle, doesn't disturb, and practically forms part of the whole body mass without affecting the performance of the person wether walking, running at great speed nor halting suddenly, thus in one word unbeatable. But will be as perfect and performance to the upmost only if it is properly fitted. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/340/fusionable/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/340/fusionable/ Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:55:34 +0000 When i first saw these boots on the website i was so excited. Finally a boots that could keep up with my day to day as a dog walker. In my business im constantly having to work in the rain especially right now. And these boots are perfect for the conditions. I can keep my feet dry and warm through my days as i walk through water mud and poop. The ion mask is great and does the job is advertises and more. The boots is supremely comfortable, breathable, and good looking. My first day wearing them i was given several compliments. Several of my coworkers and clients have already gone home to order their pair for our rainy season. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/339/magnum-elite-force-wpi/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/youtube/339/magnum-elite-force-wpi/ Wed, 27 Jan 2010 07:48:54 +0000 I have worn these boots throughout my 5 years service in the St. John Ambulance and find them to be of outstanding quality and comfort.

Safety is the most important followed by comfort and breathability. What style do you suggest. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/332/which-magnum-boots-are-best-for-building-sites/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/332/which-magnum-boots-are-best-for-building-sites/ Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:41:03 +0000 I have worn Magnum boots for many years.I got my first pair whilst serving in the army as a Royal Engineer and found theem extremely comfortable and hard wearing.Since leaving the forces i have continued to wear Magnuns as i now regularly shoot and i find the comfort combined with the hard wearing water proof design very good in all weathers. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/331/just-the-job/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/331/just-the-job/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:25:17 +0000 I have worn these boots throughout my 5 years service in the Police and find them to be of outstanding quality and comfort. They are easy to keep clean and do a brilliant job of keeping your feet dry and warm. In the 5 years i have had 3 pairs and recently bought a pair for my eldely father who wasn't to sure about going out in the snow and ice. I would recommend them to anyone for an everyday workboot . http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/330/magnum-classics/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/330/magnum-classics/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:52:40 +0000 Excellent boot that is very comfortable and breathable for all day wear. The built in side zip allows quick and easy access to the boot. The soles are a great improvement and in the recent snow ensured sure footed work in wet and icy conditions. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/329/magnum-stealth-force-8-sz/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/329/magnum-stealth-force-8-sz/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:04:07 +0000 I bought TWO pairs of Magnum Phantom 8 boots a year and a half ago. I liked the first pair, so one good pair deserves another. I use them at both my Security and Law Enforcement jobs. In the summer, my feet sweat pretty bad in them, so I switched pairs daily so they wouldn't start to smell. That plan worked out quite well. I'm also a runner, so I like to be on my feet. I put boots to the test. I also prefer a lighter boot, and these are surprisingly light for a boot. The positive aspects of these boots are that they are light, durable (except for the zippers), and look great. We have cold winters here in Wisconsin, so it was also nice these boots kept my feet very warm. If you live in a cold climate, or plan on using another boot for the summer, these would be good for you. The negative aspects are they don't breathe, so your feet get hot, especially when they're new. I am also down to only one pair since the zippers on one of the left and one of the right ones broke. I immediately ordered some Magnum Spider 8.0 boots in case any more zippers break. The only signs of wear are small holes on the rear of the ankles where the canvas is sewn to the leather. Overall though, good boots. That's why I went with Magnum again. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/328/phantom-8/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/328/phantom-8/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:00:21 +0000 On my second pair now. Very light boots, excellent grip in all conditions, extreme comfort, no need to wear in, cool in summer and warm in winter. Waterproof/snow proof. Would recommend http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/327/magnum-elite-spiders/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/327/magnum-elite-spiders/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:46:14 +0000 I've owned my Magnums now for about three years and, before wearing them in my current capacity as an MPGS soldier, I used them on the ground as a Special Constable with Cleveland Police. These are without doubt the most comfortable, smart, durable and lightweight boots I've ever owned and they represent good value for money against some of the other premium brands out there! If you're in the military or law enforcement world then you will never go wrong with these boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/326/excellent-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/326/excellent-boots/ Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:28:17 +0000 Love the side zipper on the boots except the zipper broke http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/325/magnum-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/325/magnum-boots/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:57:11 +0000 Brought a pair of Magnum Classics for ?65 from a military surplus store just before I joined as a Special Constable in 2007. Lightweight, durable with stylish looks and very hardy - these boots have kicked in doors, been through water and oil, climbed fences and run a long way. Nearly three years on, I still wear the same pair daily in my other job and find them more comfortable than traditional shoes. Discreet when worn under trousers but of menacing appearance when in tac trousers, they are suitable for any situation. Regularly polished to keep them looking their best, they have never failed me. Time may nearly be upon me for buying a new pair but these have certainly served me well. These boots weren't just made for walking....... http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/324/magnum-classicswhat-a-classic/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/324/magnum-classicswhat-a-classic/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:10:13 +0000 I have never found a pair of boots that are as comfortable as a pair of Magnum's! - They are great for almost all purposes! - I love being outdoors in the woods, and I don't think you can find a pair of boots that suit that purpose better then Magnums! http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/323/magnum-boots-are-great/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/323/magnum-boots-are-great/ Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:05:19 +0000 Hi, I bought this boot about a year ago, and despite the fact that it has been exposed to hard labour, it still remains whole. I have used it for running in difficult terrain, construction work and for regular walking. This boot keeps being comfortable for all sort of use! It is extremely flexible, yet stabilizing. It doesn't matter if the weather is dry or wet, because this boot is water resistant. To conclude, this is a tough boot that can handle all sorts of jobs! Regards, Rasmus L. Nielsen http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/322/magnum-elite-spider-80-leather/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/322/magnum-elite-spider-80-leather/ Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:05:12 +0000 Currently working as Police staff and just recieved my Met Specials training dates!

They are light, durable, black and polishable with a great non-slip sole. Perfect for me, a UPS driver. I buy a pair every year and try to convince my co-workers to do the same. They may cost a little more,but the quality is worth it. I'll never wear a different brand. For someone who is one there feet 5 days a week for 52 weeks they are the best!

I have tested them on ice, snow, rain, during heat waves and across country side terrain. I would recommend Magnum hi boots to everyone. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/310/ambulance-technician-magnum-hi-boots/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/review/310/ambulance-technician-magnum-hi-boots/ Fri, 15 Jan 2010 19:50:23 +0000 I have worn my current pair of magnum storm for nearly 2 years now at both of my jobs one of which is working at a paintball site which gets extremely muddy and wet but not once have i got home with wet / cold feet these boots are fantastic very comfortable http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/309/magnum-storm/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/testimonial/309/magnum-storm/ Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:50:47 +0000 I have had a number of pairs of magnums over the years since they were introduced, currently with desert amazons and waterproof patrol boots. I suggest to my staff thate they use them. I usually have a breaking in period where they become little painful on back of ankle at the bending point of the boot, but once this has passed they are very comfortable. I do not know whether this seems to still be the case (I know it is on one of my staff's current boots) the rubber between the leather and the sole (by the ball of the foot) becomes detached and has to be superglued back on. With the introduction of spiders etc this looks like it might have changed, little things spoiling what is overall a very good line of boots. http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/308/magnums-over-the-years/ http://www.magnumfootwear.co.uk/ion-mask/blog/social/308/magnums-over-the-years/ Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:03:13 +0000 As a Police Officer I am called to many different and difficult situations. My boots give me the confidence that I can walk through glass and rubbish knowing my feet are safe. My ankles are supported and shins protected too. I am insulated from the cold and waterproof.
