Review on Charged Ultimate Sneaker by Under Armour by Emmanuel Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable and well made. Concerned about soft spots on the sole.

I got a pair for my youngest son. you are good Here's what we love about them: Most importantly, they're comfortable. The insoles have nice supportive padding and there is extra cushioning under the heel. The back of the heel has extra cushioning as well as external reinforcement for protection and rigidity. It seems that there is some kind of additional support under the arch. Correctly laced, they fit snugly on the foot. The workmanship is very good. The materials are very good, there is no careless stitching or glue on our shoes. Time will tell and we will update the review if necessary. I have some problems, mainly with the soles. If you look closely, there's a pink dot with the UA logo on the heel. It appears to be part of the heel cushioning and is very soft, much softer than the outsole and sits about 2mm from the rest of the sole. My first concern is that this soft spot doesn't offer the same protection as the rest of the sole if you accidentally step on something the wrong way round. Second, because it's softer, it wears out or gets damaged faster than the rest of the sole. I have similar concerns about the oval pillow. You may think this sounds finicky or improbable, but I've stepped on a razor blade before and it was lodged in the sole of my shoe, so I'm speaking from experience.

Pros
  • Excellent comfort and grip.
Cons
  • Comfortable shoe once you put your feet in. A little difficult to put on
