Magnum Boots evolved out of Hi-Tec Sports, the footwear company founded in 1974 by Frank van Wezel. The first Magnum boot was born in 1982 through a direct demand from the FBI training center, for lightweight, athletic and comfortable tactical boots. Once the FBI spread the word, the demand came to supply this product across the US, as more law enforcement and security personnel wanted comfort and super light performance. Today Magnum is sold in over 100 countries around the world. They are the first choice in footwear for Law Enforcement, Ambulance, Fire, Security, Healthcare and Service, Construction and Industrial professionals. They continue to innovate and create to deliver the best fit for purpose footwear.
