Review on Under Armour Guardian Running Black Sports & Fitness by David West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Half Marathon Worthy

A week before my first half marathon, I noticed my other training shoes weren't providing enough support. I train in other UA shoes for different sports and have always found that they fit my foot perfectly. I decided to buy and run it. I ran them for my first half marathon and the next day I felt so good that I signed up for a full marathon. During the race my knees didn't hurt, my legs didn't fall asleep, the pace was stable throughout the race. There are lighter shoes out there, but this shoe makes up for it with incredible stability and cushioning. Speaking of cushioning, HOVR never felt like it "bottomed out" like other, less dense foams on the market. One of the best things about these shoes is that the medial stance is made of simulated foam rather than plastic and is much less intrusive than 2s or 1s.
