Magnum Ultima 6.0 Waterproof Boots Vegan Friendly

I purchased to replace my old Ultima 6.0 as the sole of the shoes were wearing a bit thin. These are my everyday shoes. They are great and waterproof. I wear wool socks with them which stops any sweat or smell. Even thin wool socks on a hot day. Perfect.

Had a pair of Altbergs which I've been using the last couple years but fancied a change to a lighter boot, especially due to the hot weather. These have been a perfect 2nd pair of boots. Even on a wet day my feet are kept dry but due to the lighter fabric the boots are more breathable so they've been great over the summer months. I feel like I'm wearing trainers at work now so foot patrol has been a breeze when compared to going out in my old boots. These are an excellent pair of boots and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a light patrol boot. They definitely give you the edge over other boots in a foot chase. Plus you don't have to polish them due to the material, so that's another time saver.

Perfect for security or any other industry lightweight and good value for money you won’t be disappointed with these!

Very comfy boots and more breathable than the other pair I owned.

I've had the Magnum Ultima 6.0 WP boots since their release and wanted to test them in an operational environment, but why I hear you cry?! Well...because the upper part of this boot is made from recycled plastic bottles. Yes, you heard me correctly, plastic bottles.

I can see you're as sceptical as I was when I first heard that but I thought I'd give them a try. I've always found Magnums to be a softer fit when compared to other brands and this boot is no exception. The build quality is as you'd expect from a Magnum boot, well built, lightweight and so far has been pretty durable. The drill and parade lovers will hate these boots (and they do, they told me!) simply because you can't polish them up, so if your gym session consists of using your finger to bull your boots, these are simply not for you, soz. I've tried to put the boots through their paces in the short time I've had them, using them on police officer safety training, driving, out on the beat, hill walking, running etc and they've held up well. I'll pick up on that last one, running: if you've ever tried to chase someone at full tilt for more than a mile in combat boots you'll know that they're just not the best thing for it. But now there are these... the one thing I really like about these boots is that they feel like running shoes.

They are incredibly comfortable to run in and the grip makes them extremely good for doing so, it's one of the areas where I think they excel. (And yes, some police officers do run, it's not all about the doughnuts 😉)

If I was to make another comparison, I would compare them to my North Face Hedgehog walking boots, comfortable and more like a walking boot than an assault boot. My North Face boots are nearly four years old and I truly am surprised they've lasted that long, so it will be interesting to see if these Magnums with their new material last as long.

Seriously impressed considering they are made from plastic bottles, they make an ideal second pair of boots for the locker 👌
