I bought these for my daughter (she's been a UA fan for 4 years) and at first sight she hated them. I couldn't believe it, I loved it and it's Mizuno! I am a Mizuno golfer and their quality is second to none. She tried them on and they were narrow in the front but felt good/tight in length. I got her to try them with ankle braces (Ultra Zoom) and didn't go. They were very tight at the balls of her feet and she said they hurt when she made small side-to-side movements and especially when she jumped. I'm convinced it's just a size issue (should be at least 1/2 size bigger, maybe more depending on your foot). She can't wear Nikes either, they're too tight.
