I originally bought these Magnum Stealth Force boots several years ago at a Police-Fire-EMS supply retailer close to home, as part of my uniform as a court ordered police officer.  Once I tried them on for the first time in the store, I knew these were for me.  They are very light weight, very sturdy at whatever I threw at them (as well as whatever was thrown at me while on duty), and EXTREMELY comfortable!  To me, wearing them was like wearing a cloud on my feet.  I could literally wear them all day long, without taking them off when I got off duty & came home for the evening.  It's a habit for me to take my shoes/boots off (when in civilian clothing) when I get home because of my feet hurting after walking or standing for many hours at a time.  This just isn't the case with these boots.

During my shifts, I was very rough with them.  They would be dragged through the dirt, scuffed, flexed to the max when I'm down in a squatting position (or down on one knee position) & they would bounce right back...waiting for more.  They are truly one tough boot!

I've ordered these as a replacement for my old Magnum's.  They sure show their age now.  As I've said, it's been several years since I purchased these.  The insole has given out, but nothing a new pair of foam/gel insoles can't fix.  The outside has never split, frayed, cracked or come undone in any way, unlike most shoes or boots sometimes do.

As a previous owner, I see why law enforcement uses & recommends them.  They WILL stand up to just about anything you put them through, & I don't feel bad in any way spending a quarter of my weekly salary purchasing them either.

So, bottom line is...if you want something that will stand up to the test of time & be comfortable enough to wear for hours on end with no discomfort afterwards, these are the boots you would want.

Oh, & by the way...these clean up nicely with a little bit of black Kiwi polish & a stiff horse hair brush.  It makes a nice shine!
