I have a pair of the Magnum Stealths & would agree that there is nothing more comfortable BUT the top of the leather on my right boot just started to peel away after a few months. I did have the composite toe on mine & don't know if that was the reason but the leather is very thin. It looks like the very thin skin is just peeling away.

These are Corcoran Jump Boots with a zipper. They are reproductions of the original Cordovan paratropper boots that only US Miltary Airborne use to wear them. They are taller than most boots worn today. They are very comfortable and easy to put on and take off once the laces are adjusted.

Bates offers the same basic paratrooper styled boot with a different sole.

Prices on these style boots vary from $99 to $300, depending on the leather quality and manufacturer.
