Under Armour Men's Charged Bandit Trek 2 Lightweight Mesh Hiking Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gear is amazing for on duty, cool and great look for my gear! Love it

I have two pair of these now. The black pair and a green pair. I liked the green ones so much I bough the black ones to use when these wear out.

I was excited to use these hiking shoes on some actual trails. They're light, have good support, and fit great. When it comes to actually using the shoes for hiking, I honestly wouldn't suggest it. They perform well on well maintained trails (paved, dirt, or even lose gravel on even terrain) but I wouldn't trust these shoes for anything beyond that. I used these shoes on a 5 day hiking trip in Utah. The type of trail varied but there were many trails that were minimally maintained so I was walking over rocks, sand, and other uneven surfaces while going up and down in elevation. They were performing well until the last day of the trip. I was going down a steep hill on loose rocks and I suddenly felt my right foot slip. I was able to catch myself from falling, which was good since there was a steep drop to one side. When I looked at the bottom of my shoe I saw that a portion of the tread had ripped and partly peeled off the bottom of the shoe. This was highly disappointing and dangerous. I can't return these hiking shoes anymore since I've actually worn them and they're no longer in pristine condition after several days of hiking and the torn tread. If you plan on actually using the shoes for what they're supposedly for (HIKING), I would suggest you buy them from somewhere else. These won't last long so you're better off paying more and getting better quality with a company that has some sort of warranty on their craftsmanship after the shoe had been used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable with good shock absorption. Easy on and off. Great colors and graphics. Excellent traction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit me just fine.. sized right. Run a little tight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feel great overall, seem to run a little narrow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never purchased a shoe just for hiking but when I saw these I had to get them. They look more like a basketball sneaker and they definitely stand out compared to most hiking shoes. They have a supportive sole, it kind of like walking on turf.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy to see Under Armour made hiking boots as I was hopeful they would be less clunky than other hiking boots. That is definitely the case. Comfortable enough to wear before and after hikes too which cuts down on having to lug an extra pair of shoes. And they are stylish - different looking than would expect.
