Glad they are back!
By Big Al
I have owned maybe 10 pair of the 6" Midnites from magnum over the years but they became unavailable.I tried the 5.11 boot but they took forever to break in and the thicker sole made shifting my motorcycle difficult.These Stealth Force boots required no break in and had a sole thickness I was used to.They are identical to the Midnites I was used to wearing.I love these boots!

Five Stars - New Owner - Let's hope it stays this way.
By A. R. Miles
I've been wearing boots for nearly 40 years, preferring their durability or comfort over "tennis" shoes. Yet, based on this, I'm sure you spotted the problem: often, we have to sacrifice one for the other. I read reviews of this company regarding their other boot lines, and I'm usually not swayed by them, but those who wrote were different than the "But the shipping sucked!" crowds plaguing Amazon.I took a chance and I'm glad I did.The second I slid my foot into the boot, I found what I've been looking for: quality and comfort. From the offset, the boot is tight, as it should be. The top of the foot is greeted with a firm support to reduce slipping and the tight grip around the ankles was a feeling I've missed for over 20 years. The leather, formed, is cut very well, so be absolutely sure you get the right size, or you'll find yourself breaking them in. If in doubt, go 1/2 size larger. They'll hold tight.Despite not owning them, the durability factor was enforced as I whipped out my flashlight to inspect every nook and cranny for any signs of potential faults. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this boot was chiseled from a single piece of "Leathber". In all seriousness, I couldn't see anything to raise a doubt.I will, in 6 months, update this review to give a more accurate account on durability, but 40 years experience from Timberlands to LL Bean, "big box" boots to military issue, I've no doubt I won't be reporting any problems.I will say to those who prefer longer laces, you may want to grab some as I find these to be about two inches too short. Certainly not a fault, but a personal preference.For those with wide feet: be cautious and size accordingly. These boots are tight. As a precaution, I put bandages on the back of my heels but didn't need them. They didn't slip a single time.Pros:-No break in required. Shoe fit was on the money.-No seams weakness, sole firmly attached to shoe.-Very flexible tread to avoid cracking, tread designed to avoid slippage (Take notes, Firestone).-Nice design, canvas adds water resistance and air venting.-Tight form prevents slipping.Cons:-What prisons are filled with. Sorry, I can't list anything here.I hope this review helps and thank you for reading.Have a great day and happy shopping!*** 6 MONTH UPDATE ***Okay, it's been longer than 6 months. Sorry about that.My rating stands. The boot is holding up as strong as the day I bought them. No components have worn down (especially the inside heel, a problem for most boots), the rubber shows no signs of cracks or dryness, and the exterior has held up and still looks good.It's been a while to find such a boot, but I'm glad I found these. I definitely recommend them.

Boot and an athletic shoe...
By Conal Garrity
These are currently my daily wear shoes and they keep a shine very well. I had an old timer shoe shiner comment that the leather was very good and will keep a shine nicely. That was back in November and now February the toes could use a wee touch up.Great footwear. Highly recommended! Comfortable for 12+ hours of work or kicking around.
