just got my pair yesterday. i am usually eu 44.5 but with these i got 45.5. I am heavy and have wide feet. These feels really comfortable. hugs your feet like a sock but with support and cushioning.
@@KC-lg8qf I feel as if they a a good long distance marathon type shoe but I usually run cross country so its hard for me to say exactly. I do like them for training cardio though
Anybody else think these shoes are overrated? My feet slides up into them & there's an annoying click coming from the right heel I think I got a defective shoe...fyi I got the new version the storm water proof version of these
Personally I dont use map my run. I use phone apps like Strava as it has community leader boards and all these extra bells and whistles. Have you used map my run in the past and like it more than other things out there?
@@CollyW The actual point I've wanted to address was that the shoes don't have bluetooth device in the mid sole as the previous model. I have used map my run and liked because it worked well with iPhone and apple watch. Haven't tried other apps.
Everybody!! I bought these shoes, but felt a spur like feeling in the arch of both feet, so I sent them back. Can anyone tell me if these shoes break in/get a lil wider etc?? Any info would be helpful. May look to scoop another pair.
majority of running shoes are pretty narrow to start and begin to mold to your feet over time. If you have flat feet a lot of running shoes unfortunately arnt designer for people with flat feet. The term spurs I have a bigger understanding that the feeling of some thing like that is usually in the heels and is a medical condition called heel spurs. It could be that you need insoles for some running shoes especially ones made for longer distances.
This is just happening to me, I am not sure on whetjer to send them back, however I notice this thing on the right foot only, I am worried it will hurt ot be uncomfortable when running. Could anyone give me advice? I have not bien diagnosed with anything.
@@alejandro1106 I would say wear it around in your house for a few hours and try to break it in. If still no it could just be that its not meant for your foot shape. one thing I noticed with under amour mesh upper shoes is that they need to be tied tight so your foot is locked in to the back of the shoe and the other parts of the shoe align correctly. The phantoms are very responsive but less on the supportive side in my opinion so if you need support it is probably not for you.
I agree. I've got the Storm version and there is indeed a sharp ridge inside both shoes at the foot arch, from which I have to protect myself by using orthotic insoles. I think it's where the outsole edge rises above the footbed to create a hard ridge. It's a lovely shoe otherwise, but that issue could be a deal-breaker for some. In my experience, the shoe also runs slightly short even without the orthotic inserts, so I had to size up half a size from my usual size to get a comfortable fit.
Usually sprinters get track shoes/spikes but for interval training were you sprint then jog over and over would be fine. The phantoms are more of a distance shoe however.
the phantom series is a runner and does get pretty narrow as well but its not as narrow as the phantom 2 so you could be ok. the different nike models also have different fits so if an air force 1 is narrow for you then this shoe will be way to narrow but if a running model is narrow it might fit similar.

I assume maybe you have flat foot? The raised arch is for arch support as this is a long distance running shoe meant for a runners stride. So many people purchase this shoe for every day just for looks or to walk around in but its really not meant as a walking shoe.
@@CollyW Indeed, there are better comfortable options, but this shoe looks insane, especially the black with gold. I think I will sacrifice some comfort. Thank you for your recommendations and sharing your experiences with us.
I bought them used them for running didn't like them so took them back to the store. They were hurting my foot right in the middle also the front part was peeling off a little. Poor quality for the price. I been using new balance they are much better than these...
Is the sizing the same as Nike? I’m between sizes, but the larger size was sold out so I ordered the half size smaller. I hear Nike runs small so these may fit me tight.
So for my foot many nikes I wear a size 11 but in all my under armour 11 is too big and a size 10.5 is much better. Main thing I find you have to do is always tie you shoe with your heel locked right to the back and you will have the correct fit.
@@CollyW I tried the hovr phantom 2’s and they were way too small in my true size so I returned them. Now I ordered the phantom 3’s in my true size so hopefully they fit me this time around.
@@CollyW Update. I received them and yup way too small, I could feel all the stitching in the front. Under armour seems to run 1/2 a size smaller than my Nikes and I have a lot of Nike shoes.
Very responsive and comfortable id say 8/10 were the phantom 2 id give 8.5/10 I have yet to put it to a run test so thats just on foot feeling and not a performance review.
I find they stay decently locked in. It is a mesh upper shoe so if you just wear it all day not just for an exercise the laces would come loose over time but you would just need to re tie them
@@CollyW just one more query... Does the sole get creased after first usage? Mine got slightly creased on first wear after doing some light outdoor activities. I own phantom 3 hovr storm Thank you
The treadmill would be fine but for hit training I would get a training shoe that is also made for lateral movement these are just made to move forward.
Its strictly ment for running long distance and people buy it for things like going to the gym or just standing around in. different support systems. Not my my favourite under armour running shoe but it does get good reviews from actual runners. I personally rather go for the flow velociti elite.
...whats the deal with socks in life? I just don't get it, what's so wrong with being able to see socks? They are for keeping your ankles warm, they are necessary. They look decent, especially black ones. I wear socks every day, all day, infact, i wear two pairs of thick thermal long socks most of the time. I don't actually like to see a bare ankle tbh, doesn't do anything for me. Anyone explain? Lol
@@cath_397 Lower cut ankle socks just have a cleaner look with running shoes in the summer along with being more athletic. Crew socks can be cook like the huf ones with cannabis leave all over it but normally I only wear crew socks with boots. Less material the more free I feel.
Love these shoes. They lock in my ankle really well. Much better for agility days than ultra boost. . It's like wearing an athletic slipper.
The design looks so surreal, innovative. definitely gonna pick up a pair even if just for walking
I didnt fully like it at first but it grew on me.
Dude, you had me when you said you had a 100 pairs of shoes. One empathizes.
just got my pair yesterday. i am usually eu 44.5 but with these i got 45.5. I am heavy and have wide feet. These feels really comfortable. hugs your feet like a sock but with support and cushioning.
Loved your review, I got a great deal on them. I'm planning to use them for gym cardio and agility training.
That sounds like the perfect use for them and im glad you were able to get a deal on them.
How do you like them so far?
@@KC-lg8qf I feel as if they a a good long distance marathon type shoe but I usually run cross country so its hard for me to say exactly. I do like them for training cardio though
@@CollyW awesome thanks!

Thing dam shoe clicks for me too, and it gets annoying when I go for a run, and while I'm listening to music, all I can hear is the clicking
Are the waterproof versions any good?
Been waiting for this, thanks man!
Nice video, will be buying the black/versa blue colourway. I think all black shoes look like school shoes, if it’s black, it needs a bit of colour.
Cool looking shoe although the tread does look like it'll wear down quickly
6:00 take the damn white socks off bro 🤣
Trainers are super nice though but I too worry a little bit about those grips or lack of.
Thanks for the review!
Nice shoes , do they make you like an inch taller? Planning on buying them
Would u recommend these or another for walking all day?
Iv got neon nd im satisfied with it. Can wlk for a whole day wearing it... And its too attraCtive as well
Excellent shoe, have the black and white version but unfortunately I learned that they don't connect to map my run app after I bought them !!
Personally I dont use map my run. I use phone apps like Strava as it has community leader boards and all these extra bells and whistles. Have you used map my run in the past and like it more than other things out there?

Would these be good for fast running like sprinting or just jogging
Usually sprinters get track shoes/spikes but for interval training were you sprint then jog over and over would be fine. The phantoms are more of a distance shoe however.
@@CollyW hows the fit?
@@btran213 True to size. same as most other running shoe brand such as asics and adidas.
amazing video Colly!!
is it good for weight lifting?
Is it same size as nike? Im size 9 with Nike, not sure if I should choose same size with this or 8.5?
UA size chart work same as Adidas, if u size 9 with Nike, then size 9.5 with UA
I have wider feet, wondering if I would be able to wear these. Nikes ive bought have been a bit too narrow for me.

go half size up

is the foam soft like react? or zoomX?
Its not really soft while walking like react or or ultraboost but it is responsive and springs back.
Nice shoes BUT, ...... the arch of the shoe is to rigid which makes your feet hurt!
I assume maybe you have flat foot? The raised arch is for arch support as this is a long distance running shoe meant for a runners stride. So many people purchase this shoe for every day just for looks or to walk around in but its really not meant as a walking shoe.
Is it comfortable to wear for half a day?
They are meant more for running not really walking or standing but should still be ok.
@@CollyW Indeed, there are better comfortable options, but this shoe looks insane, especially the black with gold. I think I will sacrifice some comfort. Thank you for your recommendations and sharing your experiences with us.
Lovely design
Selling now for 135 good price ?
180 candian but I have seen sales as low as 137.97
@Colly W worth buying for running?
@@mercpindi5522 If you run on a track on a flat surface like a marathon then yes this shoe is great for long distance running.
@@CollyW thanks for clarification. I really like the design of it
I bought them used them for running didn't like them so took them back to the store. They were hurting my foot right in the middle also the front part was peeling off a little. Poor quality for the price. I been using new balance they are much better than these...
How much does these shoes increase height
about the same as every other running shoe.
Is it true to size or should I go have a size up?
I went true to size.
Is the sizing the same as Nike? I’m between sizes, but the larger size was sold out so I ordered the half size smaller. I hear Nike runs small so these may fit me tight.

@@CollyW Update. I received them and yup way too small, I could feel all the stitching in the front. Under armour seems to run 1/2 a size smaller than my Nikes and I have a lot of Nike shoes.
@@EVsSuck777 Sorry to hear that. the shape of the shoe and the upper must have some thing to do with it.
Are these water resistant ?
They are not. Under armour product usually has the word Storm in the description when it is water proof.
does this shoes fit for gym too ?
This shoe is made for long distance running and not lifting.
comfort level?
Very responsive and comfortable id say 8/10 were the phantom 2 id give 8.5/10 I have yet to put it to a run test so thats just on foot feeling and not a performance review.
Is that black color on those shoes??
Yes these are black.
how does it fit? true to size? i'm 8.5 US
Yes true to size. Im a 10.5 for majority of things and I go true to size for this.
Do these shoes become loose on regular wear and take off?
I find they stay decently locked in. It is a mesh upper shoe so if you just wear it all day not just for an exercise the laces would come loose over time but you would just need to re tie them
@@CollyW sorry for not being specific...
I actually meant about the whole cloth part, like does it spread on continued use?
@@ruchit0405 no the mesh will not stretch out as its a good woven material.
@@CollyW ok...
Thank you very much✨️
@@CollyW just one more query...
Does the sole get creased after first usage?
Mine got slightly creased on first wear after doing some light outdoor activities.
I own phantom 3 hovr storm
Thank you
Is it good for road running
road yes but maybe not a gravel road.
are these good for hitt training and indoor treadmill at the gym?
The treadmill would be fine but for hit training I would get a training shoe that is also made for lateral movement these are just made to move forward.
@@CollyW do you like these more than the slip On phantom 3s???
Yes I returned the slip on pair.@@Tigerxx89
Price is Howmuch
I am in canada so I paid 180 plus taxes.
almost ALL of these HOVR Phantom 3 shoes have horrible reviews from their website. i wonder

Whats better, ultraboost 22, or phantom 3
For every day wear and comfort ultraboost but for performance when running I would go Phantom.
I agree with this
Im not sure i kinda like the 2 than these
I agree with the deign and look but when you put them to use as a long distance runner you can feel the 3 is built a bit better.
Low cut no see socks bruv
