Our newest leather magnetic roofing boot delivers a rugged vintage look with ultra-strong, ultra-durable construction built to last. Designed for professional roofers, the Steel Walker® II features a moisture-wicking interior lining that absorbs sweat to help keep feet cool and dry throughout the workday.

For all-day comfort, this roofing boot includes triple-ply cushioning that provides a smooth, supportive ride. Powerful magnets, a softer rubber sole, and an enhanced tread design work together to deliver maximum grip, traction, and confidence on steel surfaces.

Steel Walker® II Features & Options

The Steel Walker® II magnetic boot is available in multiple configurations to match your job requirements:

• Strap Only
  
• Composition Toe & Strap

Engineered for unsurpassed traction and stability on steel roofing, this boot also offers extended foot protection with a safety-rated composition toe.

How to Get the Strongest Hold

The magnets need full, flat contact with the steel. These habits make the difference:

• Plant your whole foot on the flat pan between ribs. Ribs and seams lift the sole off the panel, so the hold lives between them. Walk deliberately rather than shuffle; most roofers adapt within a few squares.
• Stay off seams, screw heads and other fasteners. Walking on them damages the magnetic sole and can make it unsafe.
• Clean the soles at the ladder and after any cutting or drilling. Metal shards and dropped screws stick to the magnets, cut the contact area and can grind the paint finish. The Magnetic Cleaning Tool lifts them off.
• Wear Cougar Paws Covers on the ground. They protect the soles and keep metal shavings out of the tread between the truck and the ladder.
• Stay off wet, oily or icy panels. Our printed instructions say not to use Cougar Paws on those surfaces. Take care on chalky panels too: the magnets keep holding, but the surface can still slide.
• Magnetic boots are not fall protection. Wear a harness and follow OSHA requirements on every roof.

Important Usage Note

Note: Be sure to use Cougar Paws® Covers with your Steel Walker® II boots while working on the ground. These covers help protect the soles from damage and prevent metal shavings from collecting in the tread.
