Magnum boots continue to be one of the most popular-selling brands of work boots in the UK, particularly within industries such as the police force, security, military and the emergency services.
It is important to ensure the correct level of protection when buying work boots, which depends on the potential hazards. Consider the risks involved in your workplace which could include your feet being impacted by heavy objects, punctured by sharp objects, getting wet, cold or even electrocuted. Magnum boots use codes on the tongue label to determine what level of protection they offer, and safety features include protective toe-caps, slip-resistant soles, penetration-resistant midsoles and insulation against extreme heat or cold.
More information on each of the technologies used in Magnum Boots can be found on the Magnum website, but here we will highlight the key features:
