What are your opinions on these boots? Do they hold up well? How lightweight are they? I am looking for a decent lightweight goretex boot for hunting.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

I don't have any ideas about these but check out Lowa as another option super light GTX and overall solid I've worn them for a few seasons now and they are still holding up great!
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

I just bought a pair of these about 2 months ago, and they are definitely not as good of boot as my Danners. The soles are coming apart and had leaks in them not long after I got them. I will be getting another pair of Danner Roughouts next time I buy another pair of boots.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

+ 1 on the Danners. I have a pair that is 6yrs old and are worn just about daily!
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

Danners give me piece of mind knowing my boot wont come apart. First pair worn almost daily for 6 years and they only got better with age. I have acadias uninsulated for Texas summers and Canadians for cold weather.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

I've got a pair, they are light and super comfortable, prefer them over the 2 pair of Danner pronghorns I have. On the other hand I also have a pair of the Under Armour Ridge Reapers and they weren't near as comfy as the freaks.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

Just bought a pair, worn one weekend at the ranch - pretty happy so far. We'll see how they hold up, so far like them on the rocks.

Got a 10 yr old pair of Danner Pronghorns, still the leader of comfy boots out of the box. But they leak now.

Left a great pair of Danners, forgot which model, lighter than pronghorns, in Africa, for ass't PH with boots held together with duct tape.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

Skip the SpeedFreaks and look at a pair of Lowa Zephyrs. You can get the GTX or regular. They are super light and by far the most comfy boot I've ever owned. I tried the SpeedFreaks on several times and if you think they are comfortable, you'll be blown away by the Lowa Zephyrs.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

Does under armor have good customer service? Seems like they make a good product, and it's priced as such! Just curious if anyone has maybe sent a pair of boots back for a replacement if they have fallen apart.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

im active duty in trashcanistan. had mine about a month before all hell broke loose. laces came apart, bottoms starting to rip tread off, stitching on the inside has come apart, and outside seams already coming apart. i switched back to zephyrs, never had issue with them, just wanted to try UA as i love their clothes.
 
Re: Under Armour SpeedFreak Boots

Ive had mine for around 6-7 months now, hasnt had any problems so far and are very comfortable.
