Under Armour SpeedForm Europa

$190; Men’s 295 g (10.4 oz.), Women’s 240 g (8.5 oz.); Drop ratio: 8 mm Under Armour adds a structured and fully supportive trainer to its stable with the Europa.

The brand built its reputation on designing extraordinary technical apparel, and they’ve gone all-in with running in the last couple of years. Their newest lineup offers exceptional design and added features of a smart shoe, enabling runners to connect the shoe to an app ecosystem to track essential data as thought it were a running watch.

Our testers found the Europa to be pleasantly but not overly cushioned, doing their job for overpronators. The slightly firmer medial posting material that provides guidance is interlocked with supple, soft EVA that should provide hundreds of kilometres of energy return. The Europa has a gorgeous and glove-like upper with an embedded sockliner. Rounding out this strong support shoe is a sturdy heel counter to keep the shoe locked around your foot.
