My previous purchase with their boots was excellent, lasted longer than two years and still wearable. I recently transitioned to a newer UA Charged Valdetz ZIP. Immediately out of the box they’re solid, vibram soles, super comfortable, hooked loops to make it easy to pull on even in full gear. Unfortunately the double stitching on this pair (I’m unsure if this is the case with others) is right on the ankle, making it chafe even through thick socks. Not sure if this is a design thing or quality control. Either way makes the boots unbearable to wear, even though my first impressions of them were stellar.
