I ordered this shoe through Revain because UA didn't list my size in the color I wanted. The first thing you'll notice when you put on your shoes is how "locked" your foot is. They've placed extra padding in the heel (just below the Achilles tendon) which gives a secure feel that you don't typically get with that sock-like upper that's common these days. The forefoot is very spacious and offers good breathability, but it is too big. However, this is the only thing I could fault. The shoe is incredibly stable for heavy lifting. They usually just do the entire sole in one piece for this, but they have a channel right where the toe box breaks to allow for flexibility and comfort when jogging/running. I'm very impressed so far if you couldn't tell. Waaaaayyyyy is better than the Nike Metcons I've tried. I've been training them 6 times a week for almost a month and they're holding up very well. No signs of breakage except some dirt. Will probably order them again if they don't come out with a newer version. Definitely recommend.
