police officer footwear

[Alwaysanotherwine]

Hi my daughter is joining the police next months age 19. They’ve asked her to buy ‘police shoes or boots’

Can any female police officers recommend any that would be suitable?

Thanks

Everyone in my Force wears the Adidas tactical boot. I previously had Magnums and they were horrendous (too stiff and heavy). They may have changed but I've worn Adidas for the best part of about 15 years and I wouldn't change. You can get them online- Milton 99 or PoliMil are good websites

I used to buy magnnms, but moved over to under armour but they don't seem to do the ones with leather anymore.

Albert's (army, not police). Amazingly comfortable, and with a bit of 'spit and polish' you can see your face in them!

thanks everyone

When she buys them she may be able to get a discount, she may need to prove she is in emergency services my friends DS gets a discount. He had the Ahlberg ones and I think they are £180. Was close to £200, she got him his first pair as a gift if my memory serves me correct.

Altberg peacekeeps for me or swat boots

Alt bergs are amazing and if she calls them direct they do a considerable police discount. If near their shop they will fit them too.

Magnums are good as so many people have said. There are also many other makes, like Bates. There are online shops like Patrol Store, which are good for buying kit.

Trying to picture a copper wearing Sketchers 🤣

DD is a cadet and we were advised to get magnum classics or magnum
Panthers.

When my husband retired 30 years ago his force didn't routinely issue no.1s. certain roles and ranks otherwise a loan. When he joined in the 60s it was quite Victorian, granddad shirts with removable stiff collars fitted with studs.

hi looked at magnum classics and they seem to be popular and average around £110

thk i noticed they have fabric mix - are these ok as letter says leather

That's very expensive for classics, even Amazon have them for around £70.

Or. Panthers for less

Haix are the most comfortable that I've worn but they're expensive. Magnums are the next best option.

Magnum or Altberg. Altberg are pricey but very good quality, they'll both last for ages.
