Possible footware for paintball - Poll - Magnum Boots

[jayloo]

Magnum boots were at Shatnerball 2004. What do u think? $100 a pair ... would u buy them?

Here is some info.


Phantom
Magnum USA recently unveiled its Fall 2004 collection of duty footwear, leading the way with the new Phantom V-Lite Collection. The Phantom V-Lite utilizes a revolutionary "vertical build concept" passionately devoted to stripping away as much weight as possible and incorporating advanced lightweight materials, without compromising structural integrity. A resulting benefit of Phantom V-Lite's construction: the ability to pass through metal detectors with no sensitivity.

[xXHavokXx]

Vans, comfy and flexible.

A high-top reasonably weighted boot.. has my attention, how heavy are they?

[TDonovan]

I have some older magnums... They are very light and comfy in my experience. I've worn them for years hunting, playing pball, and other various activities. They're banged up but if I had to buy another boot, I'd DEFINITELY go with another type of Magnum.

i dont where boots at all for one reason: you cant move your ankles, so i just feel clumsy in boots

[VFX_Fenix]

For wearing around, sure, for paintball, not really. I've played for years switching between duty boots and cleats and cleats are where it's at for me.

[DiSoRdeR]

I want them, but not for a 100 bucks a pair

[vf-xx]

Oohhhh, if they breathe well then I'd say yes! They even have the integrated zippers.

I wonder if the toes are reinforced well or not.

[mobius]

Yeah. I had Magnums awhile back. They were nice, but I sure wouldn't pay $100 for them. You can get Magnums on sale at most big sporting goods chains for under $60.

They look nice for scenario but they are working on some low top cleats for tourney ball. They had a few pair on display but not for sale at SB. I've been sporting a prototype Magnum cleat for a while and I like them more than my ATCs. Hopefully they release them soon.

i have the elite WPs, and i love em, light and are just plain comfortable. u get what u pay for IMO, so i say buy em

[rpm07]

I have a pair and have been using them for about 8 years for paintball.

[Z-man]

every 14 months or so i go out to Big 5 and replace my $20 football cleats with new $20 football cleats. It's hard for me to spend 3 years of shoe money on 1 pair that aren't even cleats

of course this is coming form a guy who spent more on an E-Mag than most spent on their X-Mags.
