PatrolstoreMagnum Centurion 8.0 Side Zip Boot

Do not buy these. First of all, they are way too big - I bought my usual size 5 but my feet rattle around in them. This makes it difficult to run in these boots, and trying to be discreet is a bit tricky because I keep kicking things that are a fair distance from my actual foot because of the unnecessary extra room. They also started to fall apart after only 200hrs of use, in the that velcro separated from the tab which fastens over the zip. After about another 200hrs the fabric started fraying around the point where it meets the leather on the heel. Not only are the boots falling apart, but I cannot believe how uncomfortable they are. Inside the boot, the heel is completely solid with no cushioning around the back of the ankle at all. I have to wear super thick socks in the height of summer in these to stop blisters forming. You can also forget foot patrol in these boots, I'm not sure why but they are just so uncomfortable to actually stand in. My feet have never ached so much, standing for about 10 minutes in these equates to the pain you might get from walking in a comfortable pair of shoes for about 6 or 7 hours. I've tried gel inserts but nothing helps and getting rid of my boots is a genuine motivation to change role. The only good thing about them is that you really cannot slip in these boots, I'm quite cautious usually about slippy surfaces, but I know I can step anywhere in these and stay put.

Good quality

These were comfortable right from first wear but they are easily scuffed and creased. Although you have a side zip it’s still quite tough to pull them off your feet.; you’ll need to use your other foot. After a weeks use they looked like I’d owned them for a year. Still does the job.

excellent fit, love the convenient side zip, good comfortable boots needing absolute minimal breaking in, just hope that with using regular leather balsom I can keep them in good condition and make them last for 12 months or so

These boots are very light and strong, they provide good support for your ankles and can be worn all day without becoming uncomfortable. I have been using these for a couple of months now and they are still in good condition.

Needed a few days to break in but we’re not painful, just different from my older pair.Now they are extremely comfortable and give great support and look good too as a bonus.

Excellent fit light and smart, delivery was amazingly fast
