Under Armour Men's Speedform Gemini 3 Running Shoes

I thought these would be perfect... The shoe is a perfect fit, the toe box is wide enough, the arch support and heel cup and integrated seamlessly and great stability when running. The major problem is that the back at the heel cuts in at my achilles tendon and rubs blisters. It wasn't bad at first, but after the first couple of miles I was miserable and had to run back. Almost thought about calling uber, I was so miserable.

I was in need of a new pair of running shoes and was on my way to the Asics store to get a pair of their GT2000 or Kayano. I happened to have a UA Gift Card that I planned to use to get a couple of shirts or shorts. I'm glad I went to the UA store first and decided to REALLY check out your running shoes! After some consideration I decided on a pair of Speedform Gemini 3s. They fit and feel GREAT. The lacing system enables a consistent secure fit throughout my entire run. No having to stop and retie because the laces have loosened up. The Charged midsole supplies OUTSTANDING cushioning. I REALLY LIKE the way the heel of the upper is made and fits. The upper, insole and tongue are ALL very comfortable. Overall this is a VERY NICE SHOE THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My only concern is the way the High Abrasion rubber under the heel has worn. I've run approx. 400 miles in them and the rubber is worn thru almost to the midsole. Am I expecting too much or have they worn early?

I purchased my shoes from an outlet store in mid May when we went to California for a graduation. I didn't start using them until the last week of May. I ran in them maybe 20 miles in the last 10 weeks. I mostly walked 12-15 miles a week in them at best. So the shoes have maybe 150-200 miles on them. I have not broken down the midsole, nor worn out the heel area. I am 6 feet tall and under 200 lbs. There is no reason I should have worn the shoes out in this manner in such a quick amount of time. Another issue I had with the right shoe specifically, was the collar constantly cutting at my ankle bone on the lateral side. The lack of padding in the collar area made them unbearable until I added a little padding in my sock around the collar height to prevent the shoes from cutting into my ankles. Lastly, UA size 13's run small! I am a 12.5 and have worn 13 since i was 16 years old. The last of these shoes are pointy like women's dress shoes, not sure why. I have never met anyone with that shape foot naturally. As I toe'd off, my 3rd and 4th toes extended out and continuously hit the end, thus causing a blister at the end of my toes. I think UA should revisit their molds and lasts in the larger sizes. The only running one should do in these shoes, are running errands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really impressed with the comfort and stability of this shoe. The shoe is record equip with built in Bluetooth technology so there is no removable insole. The upper has a knit material which makes it very breathable. The outer sole is made of high abrasion rubber which makes the shoe durable and also gives you great traction. As I go through marathon training, the Gemini have been great for my speed workouts as well as some of my tempo runs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these shoes for my 13 year old son- who is growing like a weed. He said they are so comfortable, light and he wears them for practice, school and just to play around. We actually just bought another pair to keep nicer.
