Mr. P. Wilson Amazon Review 1.0 out of 5 stars Warning do NOT buy this Expensive Product Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2020 Size: 10 UKColour: Pitch Gray Green Citrine Mechanic Blue 107Verified Purchase Under Armour Men HOVR Sonic 3 Running Shoe **Warning...Do NOT Purchase any of the HOVR Connected shoes** Not only are they expensive BUT something that they don't tell you is they only have a Walking Distance Life Span of 300 miles! I was foolish enough to purchase a pair for £95 only to find they die after 15 Weeks...(I walk about 20 miles a week!) After receiving an email stating that "Your Shoes Are 25% Depleted" Just under 3 weeks after I had purchased them I contacted Customer Services (Thinking this was Scam email) only to find out that Shoes only have a 300 Mile Life! Disgusted with their selling tactics! ?? No offer of a refund or voucher! nine people found this helpful

Very comfortable shoe. They have a subtle bounce to them. The only reason for 4 stars is that they fit slightly larger than I expected.

I have been consistently running for over 20 years. I have used Saucony, Brooks, and Mazuno. This is the first time I have tried a shoe higher than a 4mm drop in a very long time. I am so glad I did!!! The comfort of this show is amazing. I feel like I could run forever. My feet don’t feel like they are striking the ground but instead it feels like I am gliding. I bought these because of the reviews and I thought I would try them. Glad I did and I hope others do. Great job UA. You earned my loyalty. I can’t say enough good things. Keep it coming! I feel like this is an untapped shoe in the running community but it won’t be a secret for long. Absolute comfort!!!

No complaints. Nice and light. Perfect for activities I purchased the sneakers for.

The banded tongue was tight around my ankles at first but after a few days to break them in, I am extremely happy with these sneakers. Very comfortable and the real time feedback has helped my run time and form.

My favorite UA shoe by FAR! I own HOVR Infinite, Sonic 1, and a pair of Charged Rogues. I think each of those shoes are amazing and yet these Sonic 3 shoes just blow them out of the water. I am a larger guy at 6'3 and the comfort and fit is second to none!

Just started running. That being said I’m 230 pounds and out of shape. These shoes have actually made it enjoyable to get out and run.

This is my ( 4th ) pair of UA sneakers. All of them, including these new ones, are the most comfortable sneakers I've worn.

This is the second pair I've purchased. Extremely comfortableand lightweight. Air blows right through them and keeps your feet cool and dry. My favorite shoes to wear.

The Sonic 3 stacks up well to it's origins. Not as breathable as the 1, but decent air flow. Underfoot feel falls toward the firmer end of the modern spectrum, but it feels stable, responsive, and like it will hold up for 300+ miles. Only issue I have is that I had to 1/2 size up to reduce pressure on top of my big toe, and the padding around the achilles is a big firm. It took a few hours of wear before it broke in and didn't bother me. This shoe is well worth your money considering that it has UA's premium cushioning platform, and an accelerometer that measures cadence, stride length, foot strike angle, ground contact time, distance, and pace. Would love to see UA do a super breathable version for the heat.

I have had a difficult time finding shoes that provide me with decent cushioning and that fit me well due to having narrow feet. These shoes are my favorite and have been a welcome addition to my collection of shoes. Under Armour has been great for me overall, and while tried the Infinite Series and Machina, the Sonic 3 works great. They fit snug, yet super comfortable ...without having to pull so tight the eyelet on each side almost touch. I have lots of room left to tighten as they stretch. I was going to wait to write a review...as I only have about 50 miles in with them so far, mostly interval workout miles but I feel after putting over 400 miles on UA Infinites and trying Machina...I am confident that these are gonna hold up. Love the coaching using the MapMyRun app as well(have been using for over a year now and has really helped me) - Will be buying more of these. I have also tried Brooks Ghost 12, Brooks Levitate, Brooks Glycerin, and ON Cloudventure. UA SONIC 3 for me are the way to go. Thanks UA!!

Set the UA app to periodically give you a stride /gait analysis, seems helpful so far in preventing my recurring hip muscle injury . (I felt great after my first run with them, and they did tell me to shorten my stride mid run) I've only ran once so far with them, but seem quite comfortable. They run quite a bit narrower in the mid foot than my past under armour shoes of the same size. Had I tried them on in store, rather than bought via delivery, I likely would have gone up a half size. The insoles are a bit thicker than my others, so maybe when they compress a bit they'll fit better ?

I've been trying to become a runner for two years, and it isn't working. I love tech though, and I love the idea of extra data and live coaching from a connected shoe. These are very comfortable and they fit right. No issues first run with the normal shoe issues - no pain, no rubbing, no odd soreness afterward... My white/red shoes loaded up, funny enough, as white/black, but whatever, right? I've had a few runs in them though, and I have a lot of connection issues with UA MapMyRun - despite the latest app version saying the only update is improving connectivity. Almost every time, I have to quit the app and hope they connect the 2nd time I load it up. On my last run, they dropped connection after about a mile. I stopped and could not get them to reconnect. They keep track and can load data even without a phone, so I continued, hoping they would upload later. Without the connection, I lost my real time coaching telling me my fat feet weren't going fast enough, and after the run, the stats didn't finish updating. Running data shown in attached photo. My running plan wanted me to do an easy 12-minute mile pace (super complicated by the marching band mini step pace and stride length). If they can't get the connection right, I'd rather send them back and use my normal brand - but I can't because they're supposed to be in original condition

I really like the locked in fit of this shoe. I have purchased the earlier model and do think this one has a little more cushioning. I love the bright color , I’m always trying to safe while running on the roads. Wish more models had the bright colors. I have taken several runs in this shoe and find it comfortable. I don’t think it would be good for toe runners who land on the balls of their feet . I don’t think there is enough of cushion there. But I’m a heel striker so it’s good for me. The other reviews about the laces, they do loosen up some but I always tuck my laces in anyway because I don’t like them rubbing on my ankles. I don’t think they loosen enough to be a issue. Overall I am very happy with this shoe and will buy another pair. I’m a 15-20 mile a week runner.

This is the first pair of UA shoes I have had. So far I have only logged 60 miles on them but have got my first impressions. Overall I like them, nice and light, good amount of cushioning and flexible. However I found the fit to be quite tight even though same size as the other brand I use. The heel area is a good fit, as is the width at the arch however the toe box narrows quickly and is very small. Next time I will know to go up a size or two.

Been using the sonic 2 for the past 5 months and they were a very comfortable shoe and so far these are following suit.

I've been using the UA Hovr Sonic series since the first generation and they have been truly game changing for me. I feel like the new Sonic 3's bring back some additional cushioning and energy return that I felt was somewhat lacking in the Sonic 2's. I highly recommend any generation of the UA Hovr Sonic shoes. The running form coaching helped me completely eliminate my chronic shin splints. Now, if I ever get shin splints, it's more of an acute, temporary situation and I know to adjust my form. I'm putting more miles on than ever before and I love the shoes.

PROS: Great traction. Best grip of the 3 models. Running on wet pavement is adequate. I’ve never had a shoe that was great in wet conditions. Light and Responsive. The foam feels slightly firmer than models 1 and 2 however very comfortable. May be due to new traction style. Good toe box room however not too wide. Breathable. Fit and feel are great. CONS: Laces have to be tightened well so no loosening during running. Not a major issue at all. Just have to be aware. No other concerns. Sonic 3 is an awesome shoe that continues the strong performance of the first two models. It’s a solid shoe for 5k to half marathon. Highly recommend it.

Fits well. This is my second pair .. Put 500 miles on the first one and it still has not given up. Phased that out as an everyday shoe and bought a new pair of these.

Great shoe for anyone to where. Nice support and I love the tight fit. Overall, this shoe is one of the best from UA. I love the bluetooth tracking features, they are such a bonus for anyone who takes running seriously.
