Ive only recently received these boots so this review is based on the limited time I've had them only and not how they hold up over time. However with that said all I can say is so far this is a fantastic boot! I have near 20 years in the infantry and think I have a little practical experience with wearing boots and I think I've just found a new favorite (exempting one meant for extreme cold weather conditions). This is a very light and comfortable boot that so far seems to be that perfect mix between sneaker and hiking/combat boot. I think this will be perfect for say running rough terrain and obstacle courses where you need the ability to run but also the support a boot would give your feet and ankles in rough terrain. The mesh making up the sides of the boot feel great for letting your feet breath and also not water logging like a wet leather boot would. Very comfortable boot and lighter then it appears even to one experienced with how heavy boots are. I'll revise my rating in the future if my opinion changes or they fall apart in a month but so far its been an excellent find. Price is not a factor to me when looking for the best boot available but to throw it out there these are probably one of the least expensive pairs of boots that I can ever remember buying. Im definitely gonna have to keep an eye out for the Under Armour product line in the future. I think Magnum may have just lost a long time customer.
