Magnetic Boots vs. Traditional Pad-Sole Boots
Traditional pad-sole roofing boots grip through high-friction foam that excels on shingle but wears fast and offers no hold on slick metal. The Steel Walker® II swaps that pad for powerful sole magnets engineered specifically for steel and standing-seam metal roofs so you get a positive magnetic lock on the panel instead of relying on friction alone. If you split your days between shingle and metal, keep a pad-sole boot for shingle and reach for the Steel Walker® II the moment you step onto metal.
FAQ
Clear answers to help you choose the right tool for the job.
Trusted by professionals since 1996
Do these work on standing-seam and corrugated metal roofs?
Yes, built for steel metal roofs including standing-seam and corrugated. Strongest hold on flat, smooth panel areas; on corrugated profiles, plant your foot on the flat pan between ribs for full magnetic contact.
How strong are the magnets and are they safe?
Strong enough for a positive lock on steel roofing while still letting you step naturally. Magnets are not a substitute for fall protection, always wear a harness and follow OSHA requirements.
Can I wear them on shingle, tile, or aluminum/copper roofs?
Engineered for ferrous (steel) metal roofs. They won't hold on non-magnetic aluminum or copper; for shingle work, use a pad-sole Cougar Paws® boot.
Do they come with a safety toe?
Available as Strap Only, Composition Toe, or Composition Toe & Strap. The composition toe meets ASTM F2412-18a / F2413-18.

As advertised 👍🏻

They work great, better than I ever imagined

First time up had heavy pollen the shoes did fine and leared to walk like a cat. The shoes felt solid.
C
Overall they seem to be a good quality boot. The traction and magnetism are pretty good but honestly, I was expecting a little more. Still pretty happy with the purchase though.
A
Husband was happy with the boots!A+THANKS!
S
awesome
A
Best boot I’ve used for metal roofing. I’m 260 lbs and I felt confident walking a 8/12 roof.
d
I bought them BUT never got them
A
Husband loves them! Not heavy, kept him upright on the roof.
T
I've bought 2 pairs of regular cougar paws and they made my feet hurt so bad being on a roof, within 30min feet was going to sleep, bought 3 pair of steel walkers and they are the same way.
K
Awesome prduct ! I'm not a roofer, but bought the boots just so I wouldnt fall off my steel roof....mission accomplished.
S
Definitely make me feel more confident on my metal roof, Hold great on up to a 4/12 pitch, but still slide on a 8/12 pitch
W
Boot work great on metal roofs
D
Great maid boots and they work great. Will definitely buy more.
I
Purchased it to climb pretty steep metal roofs and it really does help out in additional to my safety gear. Well made and overall does what it states. The magnets are strong and help me keep stable footing.
O
These are amazing. I was highly skeptical at first…until they arrived and I stuck them to the fridge. Then I knew they were legit.
k
I just received Steelwalker boots. I've only used them once. Materials and construction seems to be very high quality. They performed as advertised. I do not work as a roofer, so I will only be using them occasionally to get on my own metal roof. So I won't be able to speak to how well they will hold up with regular use.
A
They work great
S
These are great for metal roofs. Honestly was a little skeptical when ordered, but the price was still better than hospital bills if you fall. Very impressed with them, good quality and proper fit
A
Loved the boots strong magnetic hold. Just heavy on my feet. But definitely recommend.
B
Excellent,. Worked as advertised.
L
Great looking boot. The shipping was fast. My boot size is 10.5 and they fit great.
A
They a bigger than regular size, should have gone down a size to fit right. However thick socks help. Since I put them on once on the roof it would be nice to have a bigger loop on the back of the boot to pull them on. They are way better than rubber sole tennis shoes but can still slip on 6/12 pitch. Would be nice if there was an option for stronger magnets for steeper pitches.
Bottom line is I don’t think i can work on a metal roof again without them
N
Bottom needs to be cleaned before going on the metal but I was able to walk on a 12/12 with them
B
Wonderful product they really help u feel gripped to the roof just really hot for the feet is all
H
The boots worked really well, with just the right amount of "adhesion" to the steel roofing for secure footing without requiring extra effort to lift the feet. I highly recommend them for people working on steel roofs!
T
I would actually like to return them, could not work on metal roof with these boots as you must have feet totally planted on roofing surface while standing, couldn’t bend over to reach lower section of gable so set up ladders and pick off rake of roof
C
Fast shipping and delivery
J
Boots are great. Made really well and comfortable great product
A
Great
K
Boots did not work enough to safely get on the metal roof. Was hoping they would. Going to send them back. Sorry
