Everyday Gear: Magnum Socks

Sure, your duty boots are an important part of your everyday gear, but having a good pair of socks can be just as important. Take it from Law Officer Magazine Contributor and Police Chief Jeff Chudwin:

“Good socks and durable boots are vital. You work on your feet for long hours and in some of the worst conditions: heat, cold, rain and ice. Buy good socks and boots. If you’re wearing cotton socks with holes in the toes and zero cushioning, spend a few dollars to get the type that’s designed for long-term use. You don’t have to romp through streams. Sweat is enough to render lesser quality socks ineffectual. A dollar a pair may seem like a bargain, but your feet will tell you otherwise.

At the IACP vendor show this past October, Magnum Boots was showing their new line of duty-type socks. The reps detailed the design features, such as cushioning the foot in impact areas and moisture-wicking blended material that make these durable, protective foot covers. I intend to get a pair for each of my officers to test.”
