Review: A running shoe that doubles up as a coach sounds too good to be true

The shoe offers pretty good cushioning, is airy and nice and wide in front.

As a regular runner, there are many things you would look for in a pair of running shoes, like comfort, support, performance and durability. It helps if the shoes look good too, of course, but it’s not really that important.

I’ve gone through close to two dozen running shoes since I started running 12 years ago and in those years, I’ve tried many of the go-to brands for running shoes. I’ve never tried Under Armour shoes before though and so I didn’t have any expectations or preconceptions about what the Under Armour (UA) HOVR Machina 3 would be like.
