Review on Maximize Your Performance with Under Armour Micro Assert Running Shoes by Dustin Barry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Okay, not good for running

Most of my life I wear sneakers and sneakers (over dresses and other styles). It's what I wear when I go out and what I wear to work, so style and feel are very important to me. I've already ridden a few miles in these shoes, so I'm happy to write a review. In terms of style, these shoes look pretty cute. The stitching, glue and everything that holds them together looks good with no obvious manufacturing flaws. The material is easy to wash out. The tongue is a bit narrow and I've noticed that I can sometimes see my toe box if I don't center my tongue perfectly. This is a bit annoying as I've never owned a pair of shoes where I've been concerned about the tongue. For convenience, I was a bit disappointed. After long walks and sometimes just when driving my legs hurt and tingle. Something about the curve and narrowness of the bridge makes my foot uncomfortable. I'm usually an 11 very wide and found a size 11 XW. In the toe area, these shoes feel as wide as the others. The length seemed good and I had little movement in healing. The part that didn't make sense to me was in the bridge over the midfoot. It's tight. The tongue of the boot is quite narrow at first, and as I loosened the boot more and more to avoid choking my foot, the tongue is now able to show my toe. It's almost like the shoes are 1 or 2 sizes too small in the middle. Now I no longer have a weird foot and have never had a shoe problem. I've been wearing Reboks for so many years I can't remember what I wore before that. Unfortunately I managed to find a pair that I've been wearing for the last 5 years (they were at the end and counting) so I took a chance and went with this new brand. They have good cushioning, although my feet aren't very comfortable in them. I would not buy them again and they take too long to return. I always thought that all they had to do was relax and they would cave in. Instead, my legs feel like they're about to break.
