Title: Underarmour Boots
Post by: huntindork on September 20, 2011, 04:17:38 PM: Has anybody seriously tried out the under armour speed freek boots yet? They are very light, seem comfy in the store, and are waterproof but im not sure if they will hold up for serious hiking. I bought a pair today to wear around the house tonight just to see how they feel. Im just afraid to spend that much money to wear them outside and have them not be worthy.

They have been out on numerous outings already as well as becoming my daily wear within the first week with nothing but praise.

I wondered about the Underarmour boots, all of the other stuff I have from them has been great.

I think they will be great early season or half way crappy weather boots. I have some Kenetrek pac boots for the real cold and crappy weather but they sure get heavy after a lond day in the field.

Now I need to get out into the field to really try them out.

How do these handle in the cold weather? I noticed the only boots they have that are insulted are the Siberia boots. Not a big fan of 10" boots.
