Magnum Stealth Force 8 CP CX ST Waterproof Boots
In this review I am testing a pair of Stealth Force 8 boots from Magnum. They are the side zip version of these boots and feature the cleaver YKK side zipper – Magnum also make these in a non zipped boot.
In this review I take the boots through a full test, especially testing out their waterproof qualities.
The slip on – slip off, feature is something I like about these boots, and it really does save you time and effect.

Non technical stuff – Just my opinion…..
These Stealth Force 8′s side zips are, without doubt, a very stylish, good looking, tactical boot. There styling means they will look good in the field and walking down the street.
Considering they are a full on safety boot, they are very well styled, and look, every part, a tactical boot. They weigh in as one of the heavier boot that Magnum produce, however, that little bit of extra weight, and I am only talking a few grams, is hardly noticeable and they still weigh in at a mere 760 grms. – thats next to nothing.
In my video test and review they are taken through their paces, although the video action is only a few minutes, the boots were used all day.
As you will see they performed very well – I could not find any faults with the boots and they definitely live up to Magnums promises - If I had to be really picky, there are two additions I would like to see on these boots – a pull loop to help when putting on and a lace store to clip the ends of your laces – but thats just me being very picky.

In conclusion -
Do they work in the field.?
As you have seen in the video – the answer is definitely a great big yes – I couldn’t fault their performance in any way. Totally waterproof, comfortable and a pleasure to wear.
Overall, a great pair of tactical ‘safety’ boots – highly recommended.
