Review on πŸ’§ Ultimate Water-resistant Performance: Under Armour Waterproof Military Tactical Gear by Steve Arnold

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Top Contender is well suited for military and tactical purposes

I am left-handed and am constantly on my feet. I have tried several different brands of boots including: Danner, Rocky, Bates and Reebok. These boots are by far the most comfortable I have ever worn. They are not bulky and offer good ankle support. The toe box isn't as big as the Reekbok, which I also like. They fit snugly, adjust for size, and have little to no slack once laced. Getting your foot in and out can be an issue initially as there is no side zip, but after a few adjustments the leather will soften/tear and they will be easier to put on and take off. I feel that the lack of a zip also makes the boot sturdier compared to the boots I have worn before which all had side zips. The weight is surprisingly light and the arch/heel support is pretty good. My feet sometimes hurt after long phone calls or hikes, and I even had plantar fasciitis once, but not with this one. The grip is also very good. To be honest, I was surprised at how well these boots grip when walking on wet pavement, muddy terrain, and over obstacles. I definitely recommend these boots. So far the best I've used.

Pros
  • Shaft height is approximately the height of the ankle from the arch of the foot
Cons
  • Annoying
