Magnum Strike Force 8.0 Waterproof Side-Zip Uniform Boots - Black 8

I purchased my third pair of Magnum Strike Force. If you have a job where you have to stand or walk all day long - like me - this is the best boot/shoe which you can put around your feet. No more painful feet from first day. The boots are firm, but also flexible. The sole absorbs any kind of impacts and in particular this sole is much better then all other Magnum boots and shoes.

Best boots ever!!!!!

Wear for 12 hours a dayEvery day 7-days a week just beginning to sign show signs of wear are they still as comfortable as a durable as the day I bought them

Comfortable

The sole is very comfortable and has a good fit, and the full ankle protection provides ample protection and comfort for patrol. The laces and eyelets are high quality also.

Excellent customer service

Boots are great, threw them on and got cracking, no dramas with rubbing or blisters, really comfortable, the zips make getting them on and off a doddle, feet stay warm and dry in the cold and wet. Had an issue that required replacement after almost 3 months but Molly from the customer service team (deserves a pay rise if her boss it reading this) was all over it, often when you buy online you're not sure how well looked after you'll be in the event of a problem but this company seem to be awesome at it based on my experience. Great boots, great company.

Good standard

Good standard, they do seem a little big ( I’m a size 10 ) and they do seem a little wide but the quality so far seems good. I’m happy 💪💪Fast delivery

Great mid-price boot with outstanding feel and lots of features

I have been wearing Magnums now on and off for the last 15 years. I have seen how each new boot takes off from the last. My last boots were top spec Haix which I got a lot of wear from and had no grumbles.The new Strike Force boot has my favourite feature of modern boots, the full side zip, which is what has tempted me to come back to Magnum. I have found with pretty much all my previous Magnums I have been able to get them straight out the box and wear them no problems with little or no “Break in” time. This was the same with these and although a solid boot I was able to get them on and get out on a 9 hr shift. The laces needed a bit of adjusting but otherwise a very comfy and supported feeling straight away.The obvious feature about these boots is the armour ... MoreI have been wearing Magnums now on and off for the last 15 years.

This was the same with these and although a solid boot I was able to get them on and get out on a 9 hr shift. The laces needed a bit of adjusting but otherwise a very comfy and supported feeling straight away.The obvious feature about these boots is the armour gel panel on the side. The whole boot is a robust firm boot in the first place with an added panel for extra protection. I must admit I’ve been messing around hitting it and the gel works well without altering how the boot moves. I would query its location and hope that a future boot would put this gel panel across the tongue to protect the top of the foot while still being flexible. I can’t recall any previous boot offering as much protection around the ankle while still being light. I found the boot suitable for a mixture of tasks from office based, driving and foot patrol. I was fortunate to experience a wide range of weather conditions in the short time I have had the boot and again could not find fault. It was warm while not letting my foot sweat and kept the water out from puddles and rain.The look of the boot is classic Magnum with the Gel panel mounted on the outside covering the ankle. The boot is a mix of panels but they are big and plain so the boot looks good while being easy to keep clean as a result.Although it was the side zip that made me get these it’s the sole which is the real winner of this boot. I have never known anything be so reliable irrelevant of surface. The sole offers the 4x4 experience of boots. I found previously that some boots will let you down on a wet indoor surface the old night club toilet being one which springs to mind. Not these though, you feel you could literally walk up a glass wall. I have had no problems at all with the grip and so far they don’t appear to be wearing away in any particular spot.These are a great mid-price boot in my opinion, they have an outstanding feel and offer a lot of features. The quality is good and can’t see any other boot in this price range matching these. A great boot for anyone wanting a bit more than a basic boot.

Magnum Size zip patrol Boot

So comfortable and delivery was super quick!! Would highly recommend the store and boots.

Magnum strike force 8.0 side zip WP Size 10.

These are very comfortable boots and you can wear them all day long.I am a heavy set man with a dodgy arthritic big toe, but these shoes help me get through 12 -16 hour shifts with no problems. The feet also don't "feel" tired afterwards. Very good for long distance walks/hikes.Shoe size, I am a 10.5, but they don't do half sizes, so I opted for a size 10. The 11 would have been too roomy, especially after wearing them for a while as they will expand a bit.As they are, they do feel a bit snug, especially when I wear them with thicker boot socks, but certainly not uncomfortable.The side zip is good and sturdy, which means you can lace the boots up permanently, and use the side zip for quick wear and removal.I recommend these boots, I only wish they would do half ... MoreThese are very comfortable boots and you can wear them all day long.I am a heavy set man with a dodgy arthritic big toe, but these shoes help me get through 12 -16 hour shifts with no problems.

Mixed feelings

Boots feel well made, but there’s not much give in them - quite stiff.Very very comfy midsole , totally absorbs shocks and hard floors.Not breathable! Coming from a set of 7 year old Bates boots, I never had smelly feet until I used the magnums. Now they stink as the material & leather just doesn’t breathe enough. I’ve tried different sock materials just in case, but all the same. Dreading the warm weather with these on. They’d probably be fine in a snowdrift.

Sturdy, safe and long-lasting

These boots grow on you and get more comfortable as you wear them. They can put up with all kinds of condition and leave your feet dry and warm . They clean up easily as well and take all kinds of punishment without changing shape.
