MAGNUM OPUS ASSAULT 5 BOOTS<br />
At the back end of 2016 UK-based bootmaker Magnum<br />
announced a new series of boots featuring the very<br />
latest advances in footwear technology, and the wait<br />
for them to hit the market has certainly been worth it!<br />
“magnum opus, noun, a work of art, music, or literature<br />
that is regarded as the most important or best work that<br />
an artist, composer, or writer has produced.”<br />
GEAR ON TEST<br />
Whether you’re law enforcement, military or a regular<br />
civilian, you need your boots to give you the most<br />
underfoot support possible. Magnum strives to constantly<br />
deliver pioneering, fit for purpose footwear that meets<br />
and exceeds their customers’ needs. The Magnum OPUS<br />
is one of their newest developments, meant to perfectly<br />
balance combat and athletic characteristics.<br />
The Magnum Opus Assault Tactical 5 Boot is an ankle<br />
height tactical boot designed from the ground up by<br />
Magnum to give excellent comfort and protection with<br />
industry leading innovations in design and function.<br />
The upper features Kurim protective panels which are<br />
constructed by thermo pressing PU with a substrate<br />
material. This creates a super lightweight, breathable net<br />
mesh offering super high abrasion resistance with limited<br />
water retention and unrivalled support.<br />
The Recoil midsole is made from Magnum’s exclusive<br />
Recoil EVA which is softer to the touch and underfoot<br />
compared to standard EVAs. It offers 69% more rebound<br />
than standard EVAs and allows you to always get the most<br />
shock protection even when running. Recoil offers the best<br />
in comfort and durability creating a truly trainer like feel<br />
with tactical boot performance. The outsole unit is made<br />
from rubber carbon which offers great grip and durability.<br />
The tread of the sole is multifaceted giving better toe-off<br />
and improved natural motion.<br />
In use the Kurim on the boot upper gives you higher<br />
abrasion resistance and protection. This moulded PU<br />
material increases the durability of the upper, giving<br />
you heightened freedom of movement without having<br />
to worry about your boots’ integrity. The lightweight net<br />
mesh on the OPUS’ surface helps with breathability and<br />
the fast wicking mesh inner lining will help to keep your<br />
feet dry. The closed hook lacing system ensures a more<br />
secure grip, whilst flexible foot forming construction allows<br />
for a comfortable fit and support for your foot and ankles.<br />
The OPUS’ athletic design is reflected in its low weight<br />
(431g in UK Size 9/US 10/Euro43), making it the ideal<br />
boot that won’t weigh you down during strenuous<br />
physical exercise. The durable carbon rubber outsole with<br />
multi-directional lugs provides you with enhanced grip<br />
and traction while you run, break and climb on dry or<br />
slippery wet terrain. And above everything else, the two<br />
characteristics that make this boot truly stand out: Comfort<br />
and Support. In between the OrthoLite Impressions<br />
insole offering superior cushioning, the Recoil midsole<br />
that delivers all-day support and comfort and the overall<br />
construction, this is a bit of a corker! Trust me when I say<br />
your feet will thank you, and with a bunch of (hopefully!)<br />
hot weather training sessions on the horizon I’m really<br />
looking forward to putting the OPUS boots quite literally<br />
through their paces!<br />
