I hear a lot of people trash Magnum boots and their products, but I really don't see where they are coming from. I saw some of the other models that I could see how they looked a little cheaply built but these don't have that problem. I had never tried this brand but thought that I would give it a go and I am definitely glad that I did. I came to these boots from a pair of Timberland Pro Pit Boss steel toes, rumored to be the best work boots around. I think that these are better. My old ones lasted 2 years, and while I don't know how long these will do, so far it's looking good at about 1 month. I have gotten these things in all kinds of mess and dirt and they still look and feel great. One of the biggest things that I noticed when I started wearing these is that you feel vastly more athletic than in other boots. They weigh very little and provide excellent support as well as excellent traction on all surfaces. I would certainly buy this boot again.

The difference between these and my old Doc Martens is unbelievable. Incredibly light and comfortable. There was no break-in period at all--I have been wearing them all day, right out of the box. They say the uppers are microfiber, but they look and feel just like leather. If these turn out to have a good service life, I will buy them forever!

The Ultra Lite is truly that and many work/utility boots make you aware of them by their weight and not these. Forever I have had foot discomfort from being on my feet all day but I can feel the arch support is these boots, and no discomfort at all. I will purchase them again!

Yep, great shoe. Never, ever, spent this much on a pair of work boots before but pretty much just as the other reviews have said: Very comfortable, and for me the weight was the biggie. Very lightweight and since I have had a lot of trouble with my feet in the past, really happy with these. Not loser by any means.

Boots are amazingly lightweight and fit my high arch somewhat narrow feet very well. Service from Zappos was awesome as usual.

Okay, this review is for the Magnum Precision Ultra Lite WPi Composite Toe boot. I ordered two brands of work boots and these are the boots I kept because the overall fit was comfortable right out of the box. The extreme light weight of this boot doesn't have me dragging my feet around after a twelve hour day. The boot is indeed waterproof, so long as the water doesn't exceed the height the tongue joins the actual boot, the shank is firm but not unforgiving when bending. The sole is very durable and after a month of wearing them they don't have extreme wear on them. I have to mention the boots smelled oddly like moth balls when I opened the box and the smell I attribute to the breathable water proofing; which has yet to completely dissipate, the smell that is. My feet vary from brand to brand, and with these boots I was average 11D instead of a wide in some Red Wing model. Overall, a great boot and I would by this boot again provided they are still available. Zappos as always delivers the goods in a timely fashion.

It's been a month and a half; the soles are holding up on the railroad ballast better than any boot I have had, still look like new. I have had boots that didn't last this long so I'm happy. The outside of the boot hasn't softened up like a normal boot, and the boot still holds its original shape like it was right out of the box. They are very comfortable.

I have owned these boots for 10 days now and I am still breaking them in, very stiff boot, but very comfortable on the inside and extremely lightweight. I used to wear Timberland ultimate pros before this and these are way lighter. The soles look durable but I will see how the handle railroad ballast. Most boots don't hold up well. Will update in a month.

I'm on my second pair. I had a pair of the V-Lite Magnums that I bought in 2009, which lasted me a year before the lining began to wear out. Boots usually last me anywhere from 3 to 6 months, so I'm buying at least two pairs a year, one paid for out of my pocket, the other by my employer and with what I do, it's important that my feet don't hurt, especially when I'm on my feet 8 to 16 hours a day. I can't say enough good things about these boots. They're the same as the last pair, only difference is they're lighter in construction and have the new waterproof coating, as well as the antimicrobial lining treatment.If they last as long as the last pair, I'll be coming back for another in a year. They're the only boots that manage to stand up to the punishment of walking 3 to 5 miles a day through dirt, oil, grease, and occasionally water.

Excellent work boot. Very comfortable with very good support. The composite toe allows enough room for your toes without any pinch feeling.

After two months of everyday wear, I can't say enough positive things about these shoes! My job requires that I be on concrete 8 hours per day. I also have to walk a lot. The light weight of the composite toes makes a huge difference! Do yourself a favor and never wear steel toes again! For years I wore Skechers and Wolverines. These Magnums are in another league, towering over those brands. The foot pain I previously suffered is gone. The Magnums are so comfortable that if given the choice I would choose them over the tennis shoes I wear back and forth to work. Zappos service was, as usual, terrific. The money spent on these shoes was the best investment I've made this year. When needed, I'll definitely purchase Magnum shoes again. You can't go wrong with these.

These are the first boots that I ever purchased. And so far I think I got my money's worth. But keep in mind these shoes are different when it comes to size. Sneakers I wear 9.5, you can't get a 9.5 on these shoes. It will be too big. I learned that the hard way, but it's okay. The shoes are still good. I had problems with my feet they helped out a lot, but I have a little pain here and there. Plus the toe is strong; it's good for protection. And they are great work shoes, they are comfortable to stand in, and walk and run. (I don't run that much; I find that it takes too much work). Plus it's easy to clean, I dropped all kinds of things on it and it just wipes off. The heel support is good. And plus the important thing is they are not too heavy and they don't bog down your feet. Meaning it doesn't have the feeling when you take them off your feet feel relieved. I can wear these all day and they don't feel like anchors. That's why these are police shoes. These are the greatest work boots that there is, I'm sure of that, but I think for most people who are looking for something adequate, I think they work.

Ok, so I got these boots and was really excited because of all the great reviews. Well, I wanted to wear around the house to make sure they were comfy before I wore to work. The second time I laced them up one of the plastic eyelets broke and came out. Also, the lining above the toe seemed like there was extra and there was a bulge. Both of these issues were on the left boot. Now I don’t know if I should try another pair or go with a different brand... Hmmm… But, as usual, Zappos is AMAZING!!!

These are the best work boots I've ever owned. I've put six months of 40-48 hours a week of shipyard work into these boots, and they have had zero issues. Prior to trying Magnums, I had 3 pairs of Timberland Pros. They all lasted well, but were so heavy that I needed to try something different.
The lightness of these boots is amazing. They do not tire my legs like my Timb's did. They do have a bit of a cheap look to them...to be honest, I saved the box b/c I thought I may have to take Magnum up on their 60 day return policy if/when I destroyed them at work. But this was not the case; they have worn quite well.
My ONLY complaint is that, although they have good arch support, they seem a bit shallow. I wear a thin sock, and they did not tighten against the top of my foot well. So I purchased a pair of Dr. Schol's insoles, and put them in the boots on top of the Magnum insoles. If I wore thick socks I wouldn't have had to do this.
Although these are the only Magnums I have had, you really can't go wrong with these boots. I just wish they made some more traditional, less tactical looking styles.

I have worn the Magnum Composite toe boot for a number of years and am extremely pleased with the quality and comfort of the boots.When I am at work I am on my feet 6-9 hours and I must say they offer the best comfort and support of any boot I have ever worn.

Really lightweight, feels really comfortable, and very good quality. If uses every day, all day for work, it would last about one year and then you would have to replace them. This is my second pair.

Precision Ultra Lite WPi CT. Do not bother. I just completed the first week of use, and they are already falling apart. The imitation leather is water proof until it tears. The tread on the bottom provides great traction until it starts falling off. I will give them one thing though. They are comfortable. Too bad they will not last the summer.

Had these boots for over a year and can prob still keep going except they're not as waterproof as they once were. Great boots from day 1. Very light, comfy (and I have low arches) and durable. On average, most of my work boots last up to a year. I've gone through different Timberland Pro's, Stanley, Wolverine and Red Wings but these magnum ultra lite, in my opinion, were the best. I'm a field mechanic so I'm on my feet all day & going up/down stairs and ladders. Waiting for my size to be in stock to order my next pair, as for now I ordered the 6" zip side (which may not be waterproof) until these are restocked. Doctors say you should alternate your shoes/boots once in awhile anyway.

I LOVE these boots. I was actually shopping for a more casual boot for everyday use and site visits for my landscape design/build work. I wasn't really needing a work boot. But I liked the style of these. Overall, it's easily the most comfortable work boot I've ever owned. They're super solid, unbelievably lightweight, and they add about 1" to my height - which is an added bonus. I feel stronger and super duper masculine wearing these, even when I'm just at my desk typing an email. I love em!
