Customer Reviews Under Armour UA Speedform Europa

My husband was looking forward to getting these. He needs to be able to remove the insole and replace it with orthotics. Unfortunately it wasn't possible with these shoes. Sadly I had to return them.

Loved the look.

I wore these with no show socks and at the end of the day I felt like my heel was blistering. The high ankle on the shoes were rubbing on me. I returned them but really liked the style.

Very cool looking shoe, but not super comfortable.

Solid shoe with good overall support. Only complaint is the ankle area. The ankle area is too rigid and digs into the back of your ankle. I’m hoping it will loosen up as I continue to work out.

Feels very plastic, almost like a cheep Chinese sneaker at a flea market. The ankle plastic is very unforgiving and uncomfortable. I can see this causing issues as I walk as there is friction.

These are pretty snazzy looking, while I'm not crazy about the metallic UA symbol I could live with it. However, this was my second try at this sneaker. My first one was a 10.5 Medium, and I normally wear 10M in sneakers and dress shoes. I sometimes have to wear a 10.5 depending on the brand and specific sneaker. But this was a no go, both in length and width. My toes were completely squashed in the toe box. I then tried an 11 Wide (2E), which fit better, but could have used a smidgen more room in the toe box. The width was fine, but what ultimately made me go with a different brand was the arch support. It jabs me in the arch and is built in, after walking around in it for a day my feet hurt in the arches. You used to be able to remove arch support in the past, but more sneakers are making them built in. It seems to be the new marketing thing. What I've read is that unless you have specific needs, enhanced arch support is unnecessary and can mess with your running as it absorbs your push-off. Don't know if this is true for most people, but I found that for me personally less arch support is better. YMMV.

Ended up going with different Under Armor sneaker, this one was slightly narrow and a half size leaning to full size smaller. The metallic shiny UA symbol on an otherwise nice looking sneaker is garish.

I bought these based on the qualities and such high ratings. I have to write this review so that others are aware of what one other reviewer stated. First off, the picture of the round cushion on the insole on the heel is just a shape. There is no actual cushion (pillow like) that is different than the rest of the insole. That was the first disappointment. Secondly, the back of the shoe's opening was not soft and stretchy enough to pad the back of your foot. So, basically you have this pressure, almost like someone is pressing on your achilles tendon with their finger. Very uncomfortable. The fit of the shoe was fine. It was decently comfortable for a shoe. If it wasnt for the two items I pointed out, I would probably keep the shoe. I am on my feet over 10 hours a day 6 days a week so I needed/wanted/expected that extra cushioning in the heel section, which wasnt even there. I could have lived with that but, that awful pressure on the achilles was horrendous and I couldn't tolerate to keep the shoes and returned them. If you dont need a lot of cush and are ok with mild achilles pressure (perhaps to help keep your heel in the shoe) than you will like them. If not, don't order these as you will not like them.

It fit but the top of the back of the sneaker isn't padded well and it rubbed the heck out of the back of my leg. I've run in probably sixty different pairs of shoes and this is the first time that's been a problem.
