Really excellent boot, they have fully covered my needs!
I have bought them a week ago and I wear them daily at work, where hours of standing and walking are required, mainly in urban and indoor areas. I can say that so far I am quite satisfied with their use.
Initially, they have a quite wide fit (like all other Magnum boots) and since I wear large sizes (49+ in sports shoes), I had to go down to size 48, which still leaves plenty of room in width and length so that the foot does not hit. This, for me (as someone with big feet), is a huge achievement because finding a boot in my size that is also so comfortable is a whole challenge!
When I say that they are one of the most comfortable boots I have worn, I am not exaggerating! From the moment I took them out of the box and tried them on, I felt like I had been wearing them for years, they did not need any "breaking in" time. There were times at work when I really forgot that I was wearing them!
They are quite lightweight, the insole is satisfactorily soft, and the sole is truly slip-resistant. They are also quite warm, they even have thick padding around their opening, which makes it even softer and warmer. Their main exterior is leather, while the sides and the interior are fabric.
This is both good and bad. Due to the fabric, the boots are not waterproof. Yes, the leather will protect as one would expect from rainwater, but beyond that, if the foot sinks into a puddle with a height that reaches above the toes, the boot will get wet as the fabric will get wet too. On the other hand, the fabric allows the foot to breathe during use.
In terms of durability, I cannot say much yet as it is too early to judge their construction quality. Some things I noticed are that from the very first day (10 hours of work), the leather in the toe area started to crack (as shown in the photos). Yes, I know that leather always cracks, but it seemed a bit quick for this boot. Also, although the zipper seems to be of good quality, I am a little afraid of it, it just needs a little attention and not too much force when pulling.
For the following reasons, I would recommend these boots for walking and everyday use, mainly in urban or indoor environments. I would not recommend them as safety/work shoes because the fabric is vulnerable to tearing, and the toe area is not as hard as I would like.
TL:DR
~Wide fit, perfect for us with big feet!
~Ideal for use in urban environments and they are quite warm in cold weather.
~Quite lightweight for long hours of standing and walking.
~Not waterproof but water-resistant (good for walking in the rain).
~The zipper is a bit delicate, needs some attention.
~I do not recommend them as safety/work shoes
