Health knowledge made personal
The Fundamentals - UA Spine chassis technology creates an incredibly light, flexible feel without sacrificing support. The next test was to take them to my Box and try them out for CrossFit. I had a feeling that their light weight, snug fit, and rigid support would work well for me. We happened to be working on Push and Split Jerks, and the shoes felt great underfoot, allowing me to feel the ground, yet supporting me at the same time. Tabatas of rowing, air squats, pull-ups, and push-ups made me happy I’d worn these – their lightweight comfort never made me feel like my feet were dragging. They didn’t do my pull-ups for me though. :) This shoe might not work for everyone as a running shoe, as it did for me, though it’s definitely worth trying. I would definitely recommend it as an all-around fitness shoe though – great combination of light weight, support, and ground feel make working out a pleasure.

I must admit I was both excited and a bit leery when I received the Under Armour Spine RPM Running Shoes . Under Armour is not the first company I think of for running shoes, but that might change. Under Armour worked with Tom Brady and Lindsey Vonn to develop this shoe, creating a combination of lightweight performance and support. They are good-looking shoes – I received the Graphite version, which is subtle and attention-grabbing at the same time, especially the bright yellow sole and laces. These were shoes that felt comfortable on the foot, but different than other running shoes. First, the sole is very stiff, and feels like it is made of a hard plastic, not a typical running shoe sole, to say the least. The sole is also very slick feeling out of the box, again, not a typical running shoe. I’ve read some complaints that the Under Armour running shoes in general don’t work for wide feet, but that wasn’t the case for me – the laces are easily adjustable and hold well in a variety of configurations.
