Under Armour HOVR Phantom Closer Look

We at WearTesters have had this shoe since November so we have put some miles on it, and it has been difficult holding back our thoughts from all of you. An extra lace loop at the collar helps eliminate any heel slip you might get and also pulls your foot into the heel cup. If you like a little room for expanding and toe splay, go up half. Knit — on the toe and ankle collar — and the perforated chamois secure the foot while Speedform 2. This alone makes the cushioning a must-try. Going down into the midfoot, Under Armour used a chamois material for the side panels and heel. This leads to stable platform that is primary in support.

That means there is no insole to speak of, your foot just sits right on the cushioning. If you like your shoes to fit 1:1 with little to no wiggle room, go true to size with your normal Under Armour fit. The white foam is stiffer and only allowed a certain amount of bounce before controlling. However, if it is in a confined space it will reach a point of resistance and rebound. The upper features a blend of knit materials that serve to stabilize and support the foot. .

The lacing system works perfectly to pull the midsole saddle up around the foot. When I went up a half size it went away. From the very first try on it is soft underfoot and extremely comfortable. Most running sneakers go with flat rubber, mostly black, that wears really well and grips in most conditions, wet or dry. On wet ground, like a cross country run or off-road, the outsole worked great.

Laterally, this would lead to instability. An embedded sensor completes the tech setup to provide connectivity to the MapMyRun app, providing performance stats such as stride length and cadence. It is simply really difficult to bend this shoe from toe to heel. After two months of wearing in the gym, on the treadmill, and on the road, the outsole looks nearly brand new. The forefoot is segmented with lines cut completely across the pattern — letting the midsole flex with no resistance — which lead to a seriously good transition.

Within the sole, which is built from durable rubber with optimized traction and flex, lies the key features of the footwear. By tightening or loosening the netting the foam has increased or decreased rebound. This shoe sports more of a turf, nub-like sole, and it wears well under use. This is what we have been waiting for from Under Armour. The forefoot, tongue area, and collar are all circular knit, a process that provides stretch and comfort.

The foam also sits wider than the upper which acts almost like an outrigger on a basketball shoe. Because of the nubs, there was some slipping on wet surfaces. This colorway stayed with black, but the flat, normal traits are long gone. On smooth, hard surfaces, the outsole had some issues wearing casual, walking into a store while raining, it was really noticeable. During runs, the midsole has a sinking feeling but responds underfoot with a soft bounce. This may be a debated category. Think of squeezing Play-Doh — if you keep squeezing it will go everywhere and lose its shape.

Be careful on your lacing though: there was some lace pressure across the top of the foot when I laced in the rear loop — it went away when the shoe was loosened slightly and loosening did not affect the fit. Even though the midsole sits a little higher than some, it never felt unstable. . . .
