Review on ๐Ÿƒ Unleash Your Beast Mode with Under Armour Phantom Running Black by Mark Raj

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Possibly the most comfortable shoe for casual wear

I've punished my neck and back in 45 years of skiing at the highest level and on extremely long distances for almost a decade and also in the mountains. has been cycling competitively and aggressively for 32 years. I consider myself a sofa expert when it comes to shoes that offer the smoothest ride possible. Even walking normal distances in shoes without adequate cushioning leads to inflammation of sensitive areas along the spine and all the enduring irritation that accompanies it. Before the HOVR Phantom, my favorite was the Adidas Ultra Boost (also a great plush model). Phantoms have more initial softness (at 165 pounds) than Ultra Boost. Also, the Phantom feels a little less like balancing on soft oil as the Ultra Boost rolls sideways fairly easily. I'm not sure I would walk in the Phantoms. The stack height is too high for me. But for the occasional outing, Phantoms are the best I've tried so far. There are also many miles in Hoka, Altra, Nike Zoom.

Pros
