Magnum Viper Pro 8.0 Sz, Unisex Adults' Safety Boots

I bought these boots for work and they are fantastic. They are comfy out of the box, look really smart and polish up well. The side zip makes them really practical and it feels extremely long lasting and robust. The zip means I can get them on and off in a moment. When I bought these I was concerned that the zip may rub against my ankles. I was wrong! As soon as that zip is up you don't even notice it is there. I also have quite wide feet. When I wear boots they usually look huge but these ones look nice and slim but feel roomy and spacious inside! I will be buying these again when i come to get a new pair.

Comfy all day! Durable material! Breathable upper! Timeless design!

Good strong boot and really comfortable

I have been a frontline Police Officer for eighteen years and have struggled to find a Magnum Boot which was as robust and comfortable as the Elite 2. I finally have the answer. The Vipers took a few days to break in but now they have they are a dream. Sturdy, supportive, grippy, couldn’t ask for more. The side zip is a dream too. I have only owned these for a month though so not sure how the non vibrant/Michelin sole will last but time will tell.

Comfortable boots. Zips mean you don't have to undo the laces every time. I am a size 12 in normal shoes these are perfect when wearing thick boot socks (decent fit without still). Didn't make much breaking in. Softened up in a few days. Did pretty well in the snow. Can't comment on longevity as I have only just received them.

I bought these boots based upon the other excellent reviews. The praise heaped on these boots is earned. The side zip makes it so much easier to put them on and take them off. They are the most comfortable boots that I have ever worn straight out of the box, requiring no breaking-in whatsoever. A fantastic quality product at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I have a slight issue with the style of the zip and the quality of it. I have several pairs of boots from other manufacturers all with side zips and none of them have the 'gusset' that stays behind the zip, restricting the opening. In my experience, the design of these Magnums makes the boots harder to get on and off- they could do with a rear loop to pull on. The other alternative is to simply cut out the restrictive web behind the gusset, I guess, but that'll undoubtedly make them less water resistant. I also suspect it will regrade the life expectancy of the zip which is less robust than all my other boots and - if you start catching them on your trouser bottoms (if you tuck those into your boots as I usually do) that'll probably bust the zip as it looks a little weak. They're ok - the sole and the rest of the build quality are what I'd expect from Magnums (I've owned enough before) - but, for me, the zip - the major selling pot for me - is the weak point

Absolutely love these boots. I purchased one size bigger than I usually wear because of having wide feet and they fit very comfortably. My feet feel cushioned and ankles feel supported, I would definitely recommend these for anyone who is on their feet all day.
