Now that Under Armour has come to India via Amazon, thought i will share my experience of using their shoes. Have been using Under Armour's Charged Bandit for last 8 months. I have run 750 odd kms in these shoes. Bought this pair in US.Charged bandit is for long run and it printed inside with biggest font. Have used it for training and for my first marathon.
It is comfortable shoes fits the feet snugly, gives a nice bounce while running quickly, feels quick, provides very good support to the feet. Made for neutral feet.
Look:
Nicely designed with understated good looks, am using a black and neon green combination with white sole and near the heels. Upper part is flexible andvery breathable with double layer mesh. The sole has grren support in shape of bones in the feet, nice touch.
Feel:
Feels soft and comfortable with lot of arc support. In fact, it is slight uncomfortable on one of my feet. I just had push down the support for my left foot which is slightly flatter than the other before wearing and soft form adapts well. The front part is narrow, people with wide feet may feel it is restricts toe movement. Drop is 12 mm, can get used to it quickly.
Performance:
Sole has minimal wear despite the kms put in. I feel slight hardening in the front part of the shoes probably because of higher drop. There is a slight wear near the heels. It is built for durability. Did not take too much time to break in could got used it within first 20 kms. It support the complete foot. Gives a little bounce over longer distance, can feel the difference while taking quicker strides,it gives a noticeable bounce making me feel I am not moving my legs fast enough. Need to adjust the strides for this then it becomes a comfortable ride. However there is a slight slip near the heels while running quickly. Laces are excellent, never has come off while running.
Pros:
Comfortable with good support
Goot fit
Durable
Responds to change in speed
Cons:
Not for people with wide front foot
High arc support not for people with flat feet
Slippling heels
