MAGNUM Men's Bragg Waterproof Tactical Boots for Men, Mens Military Hiking Boots, Breathable Light Weight Work Boots for Men

Do you know why Magnum named these STEALTH FORCE? Did you notice that piece of whatever in between the heel and the mid-front of the soles? That little thing makes it so that you, or someone else, doesn't hear that click clack while walking. It evens out the sole while also providing balance and stability while running and cutting corners. These are large boots. A cross between motorcycle boots and tactical boots. They are built like a tank while providing you with agility and grip. I have owned many pairs of these boots each one lasting around 2 years with harsh use. You may notice that Magnum no longer sells this boot. They replaced it with the Strike Force. I tried them and there's no comparison. I thought I was going to be without my Stealth Forces forever until I found them on here. Now once I saw them I assumed they were fake because Magnum stopped selling them back in 2022 and I paid $250 for the LAST PAIR in Canada! Having common sense I called up the parent company Hi-Tech to find out how this model is still being sold and they told me that I was correct in Magnum not selling the Stealth Force since 2022 and that HITECH still sells them via Amazon through a seller named Global "something" which is this seller. I was so happy that I bought two pairs and next month I'm buying another, I only wear boots and Merrell Jungle mocs. I tried the Tactical Research boots and they are too narrow even in a wide and there is no quality control. One boot is always different than the other and I went through 3 pairs. The reebok rapid response looked like fake boots. Cheap leather and smelled weird. I didn't like the fit. Cons: the padding inside SUCKS! I'm over 200 lbs and as always the insoles flattened out in less than 3 days. Here's what you do. Buy a pair of Aetrex insoles. I use the L-400. A normal foot insole. They have others also. They have ones for people with foot issues also. I used to get my insoles at Red Wings but they stopped making them since 2019. These "orthotic insoles" are GREAT 👍. Lined with copper to help get rid of bacteria and they last! Expensive at $70 but I promise compared to all the others these are the best. I keep mine clean. I take them out of the boots every night and wipe them down with a Clorox wipe. Then I use a damp rag to wipe off the clorox twice and let them dry once a week. YOU MUST TAKE OUT THE ORIGINAL INSOLES FIRST before putting the Aetrex insoles in FIRST. Did you get that? Otherwise you'll have no room for your foot! Also these will not be around for long (boots). If HITECH recently started selling the stealth force again at this price it's a closeout. The boots run 1 size big. I wear a size 13 sneaker, when i wear them, so I ordered a size 12 boot. Perfect. If you make the smart decision and get the Aetrex insoles get them one size larger than the boots. I got size 13 insoles. Perfect fit. I took the laces out and used a "Ladder Lacing" style. Not only do they look much better but they are better for your feet. I will try to include a picture if I can remove the EXIF "phone id" before sending. If not look on you tube. There you have it. Peace

I've worn the Magnum stealth for years as a security guard always got may years from them,now wearing the storms and still very happy.

Listen I have worn magnum boots for work for years. When my boss told me I needed to wear a tan boot instead of black for a specific uniform combination I went looking for tan Magnum boots. Long-story-short I am not reviewing the boot itself as I trust Magnums are great boots, and I assume this one is too. I had to return them because the color was not acceptable for my uniform.This review has nothing to do with this specific boot. I only wrote it since amazon keeps promoting me to write a review on them even though I returned them.

Good boots

Comfortable, durable. I wish Magnum would bring back the classic Hi-Tech boots to the US. I don't like side zip, but these are great replacements.

These boots became damaged really quickly compared to other brands I have used in the past. I, like many others wear boots each day for work. Unfortunately these boots had the backing on the inside which sits against the heel rub all the way down to the hard backing a little after 6 months of use. Personally this is either a huge quality control issue or product defect as boots should not become painful or fall apart in slightly over 6 months.Unfortunately, that is not the only problem with this company as the customer support is also dreadful. First off, they forget about your messages. On two separate occasions a month would pass and I would have to resend an email with the previous conversation forwarded in order to have them continue support. Worse yet, after going back and forth for months they decide that their boots falling apart on the inside, where your heel is suppose to be padded is considered wear and tear and they refuse to stand by their product. I have worn other brands, such as 5.11 and Danner for years before this specific problem became an issue.TLDR: The inside backing that rests against your heel fell apart in only slightly over 6 months of use. Customer service forgets about you and requires you to resend another email with all the previous information to continue support. After months of going back and forth they consider their boot failing as wear and tear in only 6 months. This company does not stand by their product.

Si está buscando zapatos para trabajar estos son perfectos, no son pesados y la calidad es muy buena

These look great and are well made, but they run small and narrow. Also, I have Flintstone feet, so normal-footed individuals may not have the same issue as me. Fortunately for me, the return process was smooth.
