Under Armour Bandit 3 Shoe Review

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

5/5

Overall

This shoe is highly overlooked by many, myself included initially. It wasn't until someone let me try a pair that I realized how excellent this shoe is. Moderately lightweight, coming in around 9.2oz for a men's size 11. Taller feeling stack height, plenty of cushion from the midsole and the upper is extremely comfortable. These are great for long runs, tempo runs and the times when you want to lay down some fast miles at the end of a long run. If I had to use these in a race, 5k to the marathon, I would not feel like I'm missing out or losing time when compared to a racing shoe. They are that good.
