Magnum’s Elite Spider Recon 8.0 boots received the title of "Awesome Ninja Biker Boots" by the Motorcycle Riders Club of America. The days of clunky, uncomfortable riding boots are of the past. According to the executive director of Motorcycle Riders Club of America "... This is the boot that Chuck Norris or Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp would wear — a boot that kicks serious butt and takes no prisoners."
