Under Armour Men's Valsetz RTS Military and Tactical Boot

Comfort is the key. And if it were the only key, these boots would have 5 stars. These are the most comfortable duty boots I've ever owned or worn.Their huge down fall however is their DURABILITY (or lack thereof). You'll see through other reviews that this is a recurring theme. And with good reason. Try boots within ONE week started to cracked and peel on the outside walls of the boot. Way premature, considering the amount that I used them, the time that I'd had them and the money that I paid for them.Would I recommend them? For comfort yes but for the most durable, at this point, I have to say no. We'll see if Under Armour will honor their fabled "Lifetime Guarantee" on these or not. In my experience, companies love to weasel out of these guarantees. But I'll keep updating for more details that can hopefully help in your buying decision.***UPDATE***So, I contacted Under Armour regarding returning my 6 month old mangled boots (premature if you ask me). They sent me a Return Authorization form. In the form it stated that I would be contacted for any additional fees. Well, I was not contacted (except for some helpful email updates) and I was NOT charged. However, I received (today) a BRAND NEW pair of boots! THIS IS AMAZING! Today, in a world where things are "meant to be thrown away" and companies so rarely seem to deliver on their promises of "Lifetime Warranties" and exceptional customer service. Under Armour, the company itself, makes these boots a 5 star boot. Any company that stands behind their products and especially one that takes care of their customers to such a great degree, is worthy of my hard earned money 8 days a week! I will from now on recommend these boots to anyone that asks as the best tactical boot available on the market! As an entire company, Under Armour, has my respect. The way that they conduct business has COMPLETELY skyrocketed my view of them and their products after seeing this brand new pair of boots delivered to my door, no questions asked, JUST because I was a customer of theirs. Making these boots totally worth the price tag. Truly customer oriented. I believe, now, that this is a rare company. Rare and awesome. Under Armour Will.

My law enforcement team and I all paid for our own boots. We recently purchased the Valsetz RTS to train for a SWAT competition. Within a few days of training we are all experiencing problems with our boots. These problems range from minor separations of the sole, to one team member actually having the right side of his boot tearing, exposing a large hole. This particular member contacted Under Armour customer service and was told tough luck. I had heard that Under Armour took care of Law Enforcement Officers, but I am thinking at this time that it may have been a lie. I will update with pictures very soon.

I’m a law enforcement officer and I’m on my feet all day. I’ve worn many different brands over the years but these Under Armour are light years ahead of other brands when it comes to comfort. I had been wearing the Reebok but I tried a pair of the Under Armour on and had to have them. I bought my first pair in black. Two days later I ordered a pair in coyote. I plan on buying a pair of the khaki also. Wearing the Reebok my feet would be killing me at the end of the day. The Under Armour are so light and comfortable and my feet feel much better after work. I’ve read reviews about them not holding up but I don’t care. They are so comfortable I’d buy a new pair every six months if I had to. When you’re on your feet, comfort is everything. I wear the 5.11 Stryke pants and the coyote boots are a perfect match to the Battle Brown Stryke pants but still look good with khaki also. I highly recommend them for comfort. One thing I will say as far as size. I normally wear a 9.5 but with the Under Armour the 10 fit perfectly.

UPDATE:These lasted about 2 months before started to separate from the soul and then in another 3 months they were at catostrophic failure.These are not heavy duty boots but are confortable.They should be priced at about $60 not $130.I just got my RTS's in today. I read previous reviews that advised that these run 1/2 size big. I ordered the 9.5 when I usually wear a 10. The 9.5's leave my feet crowded and tight, much like I'm wearing a 1/2 size too small....hmmmm.These boots are designed to have toe splay and to be worn with hiking/boot socks. I wear Darn Tough Vermont socks and they will work perfectly with the size 10's that I will be returning these for.Long story short; These boots are true to size.

Lots of officers in my agency have been going with under armour for a work boot for the past year or so...... This line is pretty comfortable. Feels like you are wearing a tennis shoe....The only issue is the build quality.... It's not great.My first pair lasted less than a year (and I had them repaired once)..... Seems the glue used on this line of boot is a little inferior....Under armour has been working overtime putting out a heavier constructed boot, but they aren't as comfortable as these (tight at the toe box)...So I purchased 2 pair of these. Hopefully they get the clue that people are wearing these in harsher conditions and do something about the construction quality.... I've seen co workers with this line with a zipper, so it seems they are working on different versions.Hopefully by the time my two new pair of these books wear out they would have fixed these flaws.....
