Has anyone ever worn these to a mud run/obstacle course race? If so, do they dry fairly fast? How did they perform?

I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed. I personaly don't like that but it gives you good range of motion.It does dry pretty well but i have only used tinto workout although i am a heavy sweater.If you do buy these for a mud run i would suggest wearing compressing. Pants under them to protect you legs and thighs for moisture and mud.One other thing try to get the correct size.if you get it to big it will flare out around the leg similar to a skirt or over sized shorts. Hope this helps. I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed.

I have worn them to the beach on many occassions and they dry within minutes after getting out of the water. Nothing better out there for the money.

Honestly, I got them in the Spring and plan to use them this Fall/Winter in Idaho and Alaska. But they look better than previously owned crampons I've owned. Their primary function is ice (and that's what I'm using them for). I suppose if the mud/gravel wasn't too deep then they would work. But these are primarily for walking on icy trails or streets. Cheers!

They're pretty slick. Corning is fine but if it's wet everything is pretty skiddy. If you skid stop you don't really stop if it's wet. Otherwise a super fun tire!

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

I take mine on wildfire assignments, and use to dry after showing...because they absorb SO much water quickly, and then they DRY back out quickly....I haven't used them to WASH with, but I don't see why not, as they do absorb water...and they DO dry out quickly !!!!!

I have used them on wet pavement and even grass and packed dirt they performed well. They have a lot of grip. Very smooth riding. Excellent tire.

Yes they are. I have worn them many hours while hunting in Montana and they are awesome! I have not submersed them in water however in snow, blowing snow, slush, etc they have performed flawlessly! They also seem to breathe well and do not make my hands sweat excessivly. I definately reccomend them!

I bought mine for triathlon. The width was essential for my comfort and getting it wet is no problem at all.

I haven't run in the rain yet, but they can handle a fair amount of sweat. I live in Florida and have worn them on some long runs. So far, so good.

Completely dry. We use them mostly in the water, but on land, no problem. These boots are very durable.

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

Yes I wore them in the rain since I was walking on muddy grounds even in the Spring complete with my gaters. Might have looked weird but kept me upright on unstable wet uneven sloped ground, that had no grass. Really worked fanstic and would give them 5 Stars not just for snow.

your feet feel dry even when they are in water. I ran 6 miles in mud and water and did not have a sore or blister on my feet. You can't do that with cotton socks.

Mine ran fine. They ran a bit tight over the instep. I sprayed with rubbing alcohol, wore them for one hour later they were fine.

Yes, I have and they are fine, they don't "hold on to" much more mud than bare skin does.Also. all these comments about DON"T WEAR PANTS are plain old bullcrap There is NO reason not to wear a FULL combat uniform in these races if that's your thing. I and many others have done it. If you want to COMPETE then sure, wear lightweight gear. But for a fun run you can wear a 50'lb ruck and BDU if you want.

I run in the rain with mine and so far no issues, my current pair is over year old. I sweat in them daily.

They dried very quickly for me. I even dumped some water on the let one day out in the field to test it out. It repelled most of the water and what remained dried quickly.
