I gave the Under Armour Bandit 2 running shoes a test on the treadmill recently and boy, the experience is out of this world! Here are five reasons why it rocks!

1. It feels sooo good

The moment you put it on, you forget that you are wearing it because it’s fits and encases your feet like a glove. The heathered sandwich mesh upper is soft and breathable for an extremely comfortable form-fit. The charged cushioning footbed is molded to fit your foot well and offer great cushioning, too. Say aaaaah, because that’s how good it feels.

2. It makes you want to go on and on and on – Initially, I only wanted to brisk walk on the treadmill but after a while, I found myself jogging effortlessly. It must be the outsole that allows my feet to move from heel-to-toe cycle in a smooth and stable stride. The arched heel bevel helped in landing smoothly and striding off quickly again. Also, the charged cushioning absorbs impact and converts it into a responsive burst of energy for my next step. I almost didn’t want to stop that quick workout session!

3. It comes in four trendy colours – The colours are neutral and come in black, red, blue and green. Great for both sexes and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

4. It’s light-weight – Thanks to the light mesh upper material, these running shoes wouldn’t drag you down in your daily run. It also makes it very travel friendly. You no longer have an excuse not to run when you are on the go.

5. It supports both arched and flat feet – My quick workout trainer has flat feet and declared that the shoes supported his feet well. As for me, it has great support for my arches, too. The fact that the Under Armour Bandit 2 supports both types of feet is a testament of how well-made it is.

Under Armour Bandit retails for RM599 and is available at Under Armour stores now.
