The Steel Walker II features Neodymium (NIB-N52) magnets providing 12.5 lb vertical pull force and 5.6 lb lateral side pull force on steel surfaces. This revolutionary technology offers superior grip compared to traditional roofing boots, but must be used with approved fall protection equipment as these boots are not fall protection devices.

The composition toe version meets ASTM F2412-18a and ASTM F2413-18 standards for toe protection, making it ideal for commercial projects requiring certified safety footwear. The strap-only version provides excellent magnetic grip without toe protection. Choose based on your project's safety requirements and local regulations.

No, Steel Walker II boots are specifically designed for steel surfaces only and are NOT effective on aluminum surfaces. The magnetic technology requires ferrous (steel) material to function properly. For aluminum roofing, consider Cougar Paws' other specialized roofing boot options designed for non-magnetic surfaces.

Do NOT use on wet, pollen-coated, or below 35°F metal surfaces as magnetic performance is compromised and safety risks increase significantly. The boots feature drain channels to prevent aquaplaning on steep pitches, but optimal performance requires clean, dry steel surfaces above 35°F. Always prioritize safety and weather conditions when planning roofing work.

Professional fitting is available at our Damascus location for optimal performance and comfort. Proper fit is crucial for magnetic contact and safety. We offer sizes 8½ through 13 and recommend in-person fitting when possible. For remote customers, we provide detailed sizing guides with standard shipping orders to ensure proper fit.

Walking on screw heads, seams, or other fastening devices on metal roofs will damage the soles and reduce magnetic performance. Avoid these areas and use proper walking techniques. Regular inspection and cleaning maintain optimal performance. Replace boots when magnetic grip diminishes or sole damage occurs to ensure continued safety.

Yes, Steel Walker II boots feature triple-ply cushioning for a smooth ride, moisture-wicking interior lining for comfort and dryness, and premium leather construction for durability. The ergonomic design and professional fit ensure all-day wearability for demanding roofing applications while maintaining optimal magnetic performance.
