MAGNUM footwear was developed by Hi-Tec Sports USA over a decade ago following an enquiry from the armed forces requesting progressively styled, athletically inspired military footwear. By utilising already successfully established skills in the design and manufacture of comfortable, durable, lightweight and good value sports and outdoor footwear, the brief was to design a black tactical boot for all conditions. Working closely with the end user in this way enabled MAGNUM to specifically design a 'Fit for Purpose' service boot with the appropriate technical specification. This innovate product development was to position MAGNUM footwear at the fore-front of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
