"Mate I'll be honest with ya — I thought it was a load of crap when me mate showed me these. Magnets on ya shoes? Get stuffed. But I slipped on a wet Colorbond last summer and nearly shat meself, so I figured I'd give 'em a crack. Bloody hell. First day on the roof with 'em I was walkin' around like I owned the joint. Steep as anything and I didn't slide once. Told me apprentice straight up — you're not getting on my roof without a pair. Bought him some the next arvo."
"Look, I've been up on roofs for near on twenty years and I've worn every boot and shoe you can think of. Most of 'em are rubbish on Colorbond, full stop. Me missus kept on at me about being more careful after I come home with a bruised arse from sliding down a 35-degree pitch. So I bought these magnetic ones and yeah, nah, they actually work. Feels like ya feet are stuck to the roof. Bit weird at first but now I won't go up without 'em. Bought three pairs — one for me, one for Dazza, one for the new bloke who keeps nearly killing himself."
"Been roofing for 15 years and these are the best shoes I've ever worn on metal. The magnetic sole is a game changer on steep Colorbond — you can actually feel the difference. Ordered three more pairs for my apprentices."
"We've made these mandatory for all our crews working on metal roofs. The reduction in near-misses has been noticeable. Worth every cent for the peace of mind alone. The WHS documentation they provide made it easy to justify to management."
"Ordered a pair sceptical, now I've ordered three more for my apprentices. The grip on a 35-degree Colorbond roof is unreal. Comfortable all day too — my feet don't ache like they used to at the end of a long day."
"After a near-miss incident on a metal roof last year, I researched every option on the market. Nothing else comes close. The magnetic technology is genuinely innovative and the team was incredibly helpful with our bulk order."
"Running a commercial building company means I'm responsible for my team's safety every day. These shoes have become a non-negotiable part of our PPE kit for any metal roof work. The quality is exceptional."
"I was sceptical about the magnetic technology but after one day on a steep Colorbond roof I was sold. The lateral grip is unlike anything else I've tried. These are now the only shoes I'll wear on metal."
"We run a fair few blokes on roofs up here on the Coast and I'll tell ya, the amount of near-misses we were havin' on Colorbond was doing me head in. Mate of mine from another crew told me about these magnetic shoes and I thought he was takin' the piss. Anyway, I grabbed a couple of pairs for the boys and yeah, honestly, I don't know why we didn't have 'em sooner. Blokes are walkin' around on 30-degree pitches like it's nothin'. DMG has made 'em compulsory on all metal roof jobs now. Best thing we've done for site safety in years, no drama."
