Dependable 8 inch uniform boot

The Magnum Viper 8.0 is an 8 inch tall uniform boot built for long shifts and hard miles. The taller shaft wraps and supports the ankle over uneven ground, making it a solid choice for security, cadets, airsoft skirmishers and outdoor walkers who need dependable footwear at a sensible price.

Certified performance you can trust

This boot is tested and certified to European Standard EN ISO 20347:2012 OB E FO WR SRA. In plain terms that means an energy absorbing heel to cushion impact, a fuel and oil resistant outsole, a whole boot water resistant build, and an SRA slip resistant sole for wet and greasy surfaces. It is an OB occupational boot, so there is no safety toe cap, keeping it light and flexible.

Water resistant and ready for British weather

The WR rating means the whole boot is tested to keep water out, so wet grass, puddles and rain are far less of a problem. That makes the Viper 8.0 a natural fit for UK conditions, whether you are on patrol, on a skirmish site or out on the trail.

Comfort for all day wear

Designed as a unisex boot for both men and women, the Viper 8.0 focuses on all day comfort with a supportive fit and a grippy, fatigue reducing sole. It pairs neatly with tactical trousers and combat kit from our tactical gear range.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Magnum Viper 8.0 fully waterproof?

It carries a WR (water resistant) rating under EN ISO 20347, meaning the whole boot is tested to resist water penetration. It keeps feet dry in wet grass, puddles and rain, though like any non-membrane boot it is water resistant rather than rated for full submersion.

Does this boot have a steel or protective toe cap?

No. It is classified OB (occupational basic), so it has no safety toe cap. That keeps it lighter and more comfortable for uniform, cadet, patrol and airsoft use where a safety toe is not required.

Is the Viper 8.0 suitable for both men and women?

Yes. It is designed as a unisex uniform boot for both men and women. Check the size guide and, if you are between sizes or have a narrow foot, consider the fit notes when ordering.

What does the SRA rating mean for grip?

SRA is a slip resistance rating tested on a ceramic tile floor with a detergent solution. In practice it means the outsole is engineered to hold grip on wet, smooth and greasy surfaces, useful on duty, on site and around vehicles.

Can I use these for airsoft skirmishes and outdoor walking?

Yes. The 8 inch height gives good ankle support over rough ground, and the water resistant build and grippy sole suit skirmish sites, hiking and general outdoor wear as well as uniform duty.
