FAQ

How does a magnetic shoe work?

Magnets are embeded in the sole of the shoe. They provide a pulling force toward the metal roof or any steel surface they are placed upon.
The outsole is made of a rubbery material with a high friction coefficient on steel.
The high friction outsole combined with the magnetic pulling force provides outstanding traction on steel panels.

What can damage a magnet?

Mechanical stress or heat can normally damage a magnet.
The magnetic boots from navail protect their magnets within their sole. Each magnet is placed on a strong metal plate that absorbs most of the mechanical stress that could affect the magnets. The neodymium magnets also feature a durable Nickel-Copper-Epoxy coating that further protects them.
When it comes to heat, our magnets can withstand being placed in boiling water for unlimited time.
Durable magnets are the first step toward a durable magnetic boot.

How do navail magnetic boots protect my feet?

First, you ankles are covered. This protects them from a bad twist or external objects.
Two, your toes are protected by a steel toe cap.
Three, your feet are protected by anti-perforation midsoles that stop nails from going through the soles.

We are serious about safety

How do I remove metalic debris from my magnetic shoes?

Each Magnetic Work Boot comes with a cleaning magnet. Simply put it on your sole and it will catch all the debris.
You can then easily wipe the cleaning magnet to remove debris from it.

Do I need to take my magnetic boots off when going down from the roof?

You can walk on the ground with your magnetic boots. However, like any magnetic shoes, they are likely to collect ferrous debris.

To allow you to go on and off the roof as seamlessly as possible without having to worry about debris, we recommend usage of the Magnetized sole cover.

With them, you can effectively keep your sole clean from debris and increase the lifetime of your boots.

They are hands free. Simply step on them with your Navail magnetic boots and they are on!

What is the best magnetic shoe?

We beleive Navail Magnetic work boot to be the best for professionals because it offers:

  1. Up to three times more traction than other magnetic boots. See the comparative traction test in video.
  2. Best foot protection with: covered ankles, steel toe caps and anti-perforation midsoles with para-aramid fibers (Kevlar® material)
  3. Better durability. With our magnetic boots, you can walk on a srcew head or even on the sharp edge of a steel panel with limited damage. See what happens when you cut the sole with a cutter
  4. Increased comfort. With the Soft Slope and Walk & Lock features, we made sure you can work on high inclines all day long as relaxed and fresh as possible. Our magnetic boot will naturally absorb some of the pitch so your ankle is not as flexed and less weight is put on your heel. That's what we call Soft Slope. Now you want the magnets to secure you foot in position once you step on the steel panel but you don't want to feel this constant pulling force when you walk. Our magnets do just that: strong when you make contact, weak when you lift your feet. Walk & Lock.
