Under Armour Men's HOVR Phantom Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Marathon Training & Road Running | Perfect for Jogging, Gym Workouts & Daily Wear

My son, a track runner, LOVES these (in his words) "more than any shoe ever." I try to get him to wear them only for running, but he says, "Other shoes just feel bad compared to these," so the $130 (track/running) shoes are getting a lot more use so far than I'd expected. This is just as well, I suppose, because:Sizing:His regular size of 10.5, in seemingly all *other* shoes, still leaves a little growing room for him. These, in 10.5, fit well all, but leave no room for him to grow at all hardly (and he's at an age where he's still growing--a lot). (We even measured his feet and sized a tad up from the UA sizing guide.)Son's comment on general "feel" of shoe:See above. He loves these shoes. In particular, he says that they have a very nice "cushy" or even a bit "bouncy" feel when his foot hits the track. This is great for him, because he's already had his first (moderate) knee injury [not in these shoes], so this aspect of the shoe helps his knees out.Caveat:Just going by what my kiddo says, they aren't very supportive enough of (at least his) ankles. He still, when he runs, has been conscious of that issue (and he's, thus, done some ankle-strengthening work that I [also a runner who loves UA shoes] imagine he needed to do, anyway). Whilr he hasn't had any ankle "rolling" of other issues or injuries in these, if you have ankle issues, you may want to consider a more supportive shoe, of at least try these, knowing you *might* decide to return them if they don't feel supportive enough for your ankles.So, I docked a star only because we planned for/expected a tiny bit more room in the front of the shoe (for this fast-growing kid)--and since these aren't the cheapest runners in the world, he may need a new pair by spring---and because of the *potential* ankle-support concern my runner-son has had.But, really, as long as you get the bestc size did you and don't have concerns about your ankles, I think you'll love these (especially if you're a runner who likes a shoe that makes running easier on the knees, instead of a less-cushy/bouncy shoe.They look great, too.I like these shoes but there are a few issues. The lace "retainers" or loops whever you'd like to call them do not withstand a lot of use. After tightening them a few times some of the loops.have broken requiring me to adjust the holes they go throughHaving punished my neck and back over 45 years of skiing at highest levels of the sport and also running ultra distances for nearly a decade and also Mountain biking competitively and aggressively for 32 years... Consider myself an armchair expert on shoes that offer the most plush ride... Walking even normal distances in shoes that lack adequate cushion will cause inflammation of sensitive areas along my spinal column and all the associated lingering annoyances. Until the HOVR Phantoms, the Adidas Ultra Boost (great plush ride also) had been my go-to. The Phantoms have more initial plushness (at 165 lbs of weight) than the Ultra Boost ...and the Phantoms are also little less like balancing on soft butter since the Ultra Boost will roll laterally pretty easily. Not sure I would run in the Phantoms tho... the stack height is way to high for me. But for casual walking about, Phantoms are the best I've tried to date. Also have many miles in Hoka, Altra, Nike Zoom...These are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I literally can wear them all day.The size of UA shoes is a bit different from the other brands (I have another pair of UA), so make sure to order 1/2 o 1 size bigger than your common size (my common size is 12, so I ordered in 12 1/2 and they fit perfect).The product worths the price, I totally recommend it ??As a flat footer , there are few shoes I can call my go to shoes. This one however is hard to resist giving the title. Although I'm more of a resistance trainer and not a runner they are up to task on every day with the exception of leg day in the gym. I do have to disclose that I own three pair which should say something. The only "issue" is that the shoe is consistently a half size smaller. I found this out on the first pair which I got in a 9. They were the rare all red which I liked so much I still dare to take the pain if I'm not moving much. The 9.5s are like cloud walkers on the other hand. Great buy and they clean up well with oxyclean.Always buy Under Armour shoes because the size never varies. Nice and comfortable, but the only issue I have is the shoe laces are way thicker than normal. Constantly have to re-tie them or deal with a huge knot.I had really wanted these shoes. I was so disappointed that my big toes rub against the ends. I believe the size is correct, but that the elastic at the top pushes your feet forward. I have been knocking my heels back to try and loosen the elastic. This has helped.El tiempo de envió fue bien rápido, 100% recomendamos estos tenis son super suaves y cómodos. definitivamente los volveríamos a comprar.Loving the comfort and Fashion of The Brand Name Under ArmourGreat Price plus they have Bluetooth fitted into the Trainer alsoI'm a very happy customer ✅Thank you Amazon ✅Hip Hop ????Great fit , comfortable and stable to work.out legs even .Snug fit with good support around ankle, however very slippy in wet conditionsToo small and wrong size givenTo small.
