The University I'm running for next year is sponsored by Under Armour and we have to wear their trainers and spikes. If I wear the Pegasus/Vomero and Matumbos now, which models do I switch to? Are any of their shoes half decent? I feel like since UA is doing more pro sponsorships now they should have better shoes.
The Under Armour HOVR Sonic is excellent.. very similar place in the lineup as the Pegasus is for Nike. Everday comfortable, high mileage trainer. A bit of firmness for when you want to ramp it up later in a run, like the Pegasus. Weighs about the same as well. I have a ton of miles in both and prefer the Sonic to the Pegasus.
As mentioned above, the Gemini 3 is excellent too. A little lighter, more bounce and response. I would use this for an everyday shoe, or even for tempo or fast long runs. The Bandit3 fits into this category as well, but I prefer the Gemini.
They are all great shoes. I have never run in spikes, so I don't know about that.
