Shoe Review: Under Armour Micro G Neo Mantis

Shoe Review: Under Armour Micro G Neo Mantis

A lightweight shoe that packs power. When I ordered these shoes I wanted gobsmacked sure I ordered a road shoe that has some stabilization qualities, but also allowed for ease. When I received them in was a little worried that the tread was too thin and would wear off within a few runs. I'm glad to say that's having  held up well after nearly 100 miles.

These shoes fit well and are very comfortable. I have  lots of space in the toe be  of the shoe, but are snug around the arch. A perfect fit. 

Also this shoe gave  me no issues as I began to break in these shoes. I am always thrilled when I buy new running shoes and can't wait to break them in, but hate when I come back from a run sore an  with aches and pains. These shoes HAD NONE of those problems.

Here is data from some of my runs:

Pros:

Lightweight

Great fit

Good support

Comfortable

Tread is durable

Price: 68 (as of 1/8/15)

Cons: 

Low tread (which means shortest shoe life)


I also rotate my shoes, which helps increase their life span (these really are my babies :).

Do you rotate your shoes? If so, how often?

 These thoughts are my own. I was not compensated for these shoes.

Shoe Review: Under Armour Speedform Gemini

Shoe Review: Under Armour Speedform Gemini

This is the 5th edition in the Speedform family following: Speedform RC, Speedform XC, Speedform StudioLux, and Speedform Apollo.

This shoe fits like a glove. It's light, but still has a bit of cushion, allowing the runner to have some stability, but some great spring in their stride as well. 

This shoe is the 5th shoe of Under Armour that I have used and I am a huge fan. A very comfy shoe that is like a second skin. I experienced no shin splints, ankle soreness, or knee pain while wearing these shoes. When running in new shoes, I have found that it takes a few runs to adjust to the shoe. Some shoes come with a few of the above injuries for the first few miles, but eventually find their stride. 

The Speedform Gemini was a relief to slip on a pair and just get me.. Sounds so strange, but after the many shoes and miles I've run, it's tough to find a pair of shoes that you find both comfort and speed with. Also I recovered well after my run.  Here is data from my runs with these shoes:

This is a wonderful shoe for both novice and seasoned runners. It eases you into whatever pace and mileage you have for the day!

Pros:

Lightweight

Fits like second skin

Adapted quickly with no negative side effects

Cons:

Medium support

Keep fit,

The Fithusiast

These thoughts are my own. I did receive these shoes for free from Under Armour/Map My Fitness.
