Specifications - MagSteel™ Boot

Specially designed for steel roofing applications, the MagSteel™ Boot incorporates powerful rare-earth magnets within a highly abrasion-resistant rubber outsole. This unique magnetic traction system provides secure footing on a wide range of steel roofing surfaces.

A proprietary sole technology enhances cut resistance, puncture resistance, and overall structural integrity for demanding job-site conditions.

The MagSteel™ Boot also delivers excellent traction on common roofing surfaces such as plywood, wood decking, and roof sheathing.

A magnetic shoe is viewed upside down and from the bottom. On the bottom view, nine magnets are visible. They are placed on red metal plates that serve as anchors within the sole. The tread patten is also visible on the bottom view. It helps evacuate water in order to maintain good grip on wet surfaces. Above these two views is a magnet, placed there to indicate that the shoe is magnetic.

Strong magnets in a high friction sole

Grip & Traction

• 9 powerful magnets positioned to maximize grip and stability

• 154 lbf (approximately 70 kgf) per boot, calculated as the sum of the individual magnet ratings. Actual holding force varies with steel thickness, coating, surface condition, air gap and contact geometry.

• Magnets are anchored on metal plates deep within the rubber sole to ensure stable positionning.

• Sole pattern to maximize grip on wet surfaces

• Extra grippy sole rubber
