READ MY UA SLIPSPEED REVIEW: thatfitfriend.com/ua-slipspee...
The UA SlipSpeed Training Shoes are definitely one of the most unique training shoes to debut in 2022.
The UA SlipSpeed Training Shoes are built with the athlete in mind delivering a convertible construction that can turn them from a training shoe to a casual slip-on shoe...without breaking the boot. Intrigued by this, I was stoked to review these shoes.
In my UA SlipSpeed Training Shoes review, I'll cover multiple topics to help you decide if these shoes are worth it for you.
0:00 Pros
2:41 Cons
5:17 Performance
9:23 Price
9:51 Who are these best for?
11:00 Sizing and Fit
12:04 Weight, Drop, and Insole
12:20 Construction Breakdown
14:21 Final Thoughts
Overall, I like the Under Armour SlipSpeed Training Shoes and I can definitely see where their utility will be useful for certain athletes.
For example, I like their sizing inclusivity and that they deliver a pretty well-rounded performance for versatile training.
There are a few contexts, though, where I could see these shoes falling short, and for $150 USD - I don't think everyone should necessarily invest in these shoes.

Thanks for checking the content out! Appreciate it 🤝

[@AustinCrow]

Love the review. One thing that sold me is for travel / going through TSA these are comfy and easy to slip on and off. Also good for everyday workouts! Post gym slip on feature is awesome. Thank you!

[@thatfitfriend]

True, that's a sick perk of these for sure!

Thanks Jake!! Just received a pair as a gift, so I decided to search for an informative review and yours was most helpful!?💎💎💯💯💯. I am now subscribed to your channel

Great review!

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! Shout if you have additional Qs.

[@DavidPat]

I wear these everyday for biking outside and walking around with my kids. Awesome shoes.

[@thatfitfriend]

Love hearing that!

[@brianwj5]

Great video. A lot of great points. I got both colors on the UA site and both came with a bag. That flow cushion grips like crazy... Pretty sure flat surfaces where the foam has clear ground contact, slipping should be awesome or at least it has been in my experience. This shoe worked perfectly the other day. Went to 5am BJJ class expected to wear these after training... Gym was closed and end up going to train at my location fitness gym and these came in handy since I didn't have my PR5 or Reigns on me.

[@thatfitfriend]

So odd, they have a note “doesn’t come with bag” so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t misleading folks. Thanks for the heads up! Thank you for sharing your experiences and checking out the vid 🤝

[@daveyadict_]

How weird that just yesterday I was trying to find as many reviews as I could on these and here you are... saving the day. I'm very interested in there for casual wear. As someone who wears crocs to take the dogs out and garbage out , and to take the kid to the bus stop, these look great lol

[@thatfitfriend]

And you can train in them! Well…I guess you could train in Crocs like the video on this channel 😂 Glad the video helped, shout if you have questions!

[@isaacchapman393]

Mine will be here tomorrow!!! I can’t wait

[@thatfitfriend]

@@isaacchapman393 dope! Let me know how you like em’ 🫡

[@DannyLobell-no2mr]

That and these look a million times better than crocs which happen to be the ugliest shoes on the planet.

[@PotatoKing86]

The size guide said to measure the foor for the size and I usually get a 7.5 or 8. When i measured, it was the smallest size of them instead.

[@jbp48080]

Jake kick butt and detailed review. I like the look of them and was debating getting a pair. After watching this video. I may just try one. Do they run big or did you get your normal running shoe size ??

[@thatfitfriend]

Should be safe going true to size! Thank you 🤝

[@1971ChevelleSS]

This shoe could be a god send for carry on travellers.

[@HJ17GAMING]

I just want something to replace my beat up vans lol

[@sentinel_prime]

Went to an outlet place today with a focus on bagging a training shoe at a reduced price, that has some good reviews. Tbh, most of them from your videos. 😂 none of the brand showrooms had the shoes that you said were good for training! (Nike, puma, adidas, ASICS and new balance) fml. Sticking to online purchases now and waiting for a sale drop until Christmas. Hopefully the waiting pays off.

[@thatfitfriend]

Which models were you looking for specifically?

[@sentinel_prime]

@@thatfitfriend metcons (any version), puma fuse, adidas totals, trainer v and dropset and new balance fuel cells. They just had a lot of every day trainers and running shoes. i live in EU, so maybe they don't have these models in the stores. they do have them in their websites though.

[@teng029]

I originally ignored this shoe when it first came out, since I thought it was nothing more than a gimmick. I recently had to travel and picked up a pair to see if they would work as a travel shoe. Turns out, they are fantastic for that purpose. I might be picking up more pairs now.

[@thatfitfriend]

For the casual slip on lifestyle - they slap. These are def a slow burn for activities like that, I agree

[@matthewwarner1606]

This is the perfect shoe for the influx of folks I'm seeing at the gym recently who are wearing crocs for some odd reason...

[@thatfitfriend]

It’s the Broccoli heads 😂

[@matthewwarner1606]

@@thatfitfriend lol broccoli heads

[@GM-ew5tz]

Did you ever own the UA Speedform Apollo? I was curious if the heel felt similar to that shoe

[@thatfitfriend]

I have not! Aplogies I'm not much help there.

[@benster5]

Wish my local Dick's had them in store so I can at least try them on and get a live feel for them. I don't think I'm as eager to get them now. For $150, I don't think I can settle for just good performance at that price point. Still looking to get a pair of Haze Trainers. The Reebok store at my local outlets have the Nano X2's for 69.99. Thinking of investing in a pair of those.

[@thatfitfriend]

If the Nano X2s have a good fit to them, then you could always wait for these to go on sale in the future!

[@sentinel_prime]

Whoa! They sound lower than my online prices! They’re at least ~140$ here!

[@bradnendel3542]

Late to the party here on this shoe. I have flat feet and wanted to try these out for running, nothing crazy just around 2 miles or so at a time, does this fit that bill?

[@thatfitfriend]

They'll be okay. These aren't my fave for running, but for chill 2-mile runs they'd work fine, IMO!

[@topoftheshoe4693]

if they dont have my size would u recomend go half size up or half size down considering my feet is normal not wide and not narrow

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd probably go down a half size in these and that's because with their looser boot construction if they run too long then I think you'll notice that lacking security even more versus some models that you can kind of get away with it, you know?

[@ThaisRubio-qt4kf]

2 mm is too low right? Not much support?

[@RetroCody]

Does the high amount of cushion cause any ankle immobility? I do a lot of lateral drills for basketball and don’t want to roll an ankle.

[@thatfitfriend]

I would pass on them for that context. That’s somewhat what I mean by feeling “platform-y”!

[@RetroCody]

@@thatfitfriend thanks. I had the Nike Metcon Sport and absolutely loved those. I felt like i could run 2-3 miles and still do cross training in them. I haven’t been able to find a similar shoe

[@champie3368]

Thia shoes is perfect for when visiting a brother in law who require us to take off shoes when entering their house lol

[@joemack4122]

Do you feel more or less energy return compared to Nike Metcon Turbo 2?

[@thatfitfriend]

I’d say less for explosive work.

[@craigpurdie3528]

Too bad UNDER ARMOUR SLIPSPEED shoes don't come with removable insoles. Many people (like me) wear orthotics to correct foot problems.

[@zhwellrested]

Now the laces look rather thin, do you worry that the laces being used with the BOA will snap?

[@thatfitfriend]

Not really! I’ve abused BOA shoes for weightlifting and trail running and have abused those shoes way worse than what I use these for and they’ve held up fine.

[@figtech.]

Would you say these run true to size or should I size up or down? I’m a 10 men’s and have a narrow foot for context.

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go true to size in them for you!

[@gregakulis8389]

@@thatfitfriend so if you have slightly wider feet you would recommend sizing up?

[@andrewsybilrud6432]

I had to exchange for a half size larger than I normally wear.

[@ThaisRubio-qt4kf]

Would it help if I like to train barefoot at home but in some exercises I want the shoe or in the warm-up and from there I take them off? haha, and it would also be useful for walking around the house, I guess right? I am between these or the pumas that are hybrids that I saw in other of your videos 🤔

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go PUMA, honestly. You can always ditch the shoes when you want to train barefoot and the Puma's will be stronger performers, imo. These are what I'd call your casual travel/hotel workout-style shoe

[@ThaisRubio-qt4kf]

@@thatfitfriendwhat model of puma? 🤔 nitro? Also for daily wear?

[@FinnishFish]

As a person who has to use custom insoles, the fact that you shouldn't remove insoles from these shoes is a no go for me. Too bad, I was excited. Thanks for the review.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, they'll be a little shallow for you, IMO. Welcome and thanks for checking it out!

[@shreyanshagarwal4013]

Confused if i should get this or not in india new models come very late so i already have metcons at this price range which shoe would compete with this?

[@thatfitfriend]

I would pass on these, tbh. They're not worth the price for most if you already have a good pair of training shoes, imo!

[@shreyanshagarwal4013]

@thatfitfriend I am an athlete and have training style similar to you which one would you recommend instead of this I don't like too much bulk but also not barefoot ones also price point isn't an issue for me

[@shreyanshagarwal4013]

I’m a nurse, would these shoes be perfect for a twelve hour shift?

[@thatfitfriend]

I think they could be!

[@bearclaws2934]

This brings me nostalgia of Puma Disc shoes, I would have to pass on these, they dont look nice enough for $150 casual shoes.

[@thetattooedguy1413]

Please help me are these really TRUE TO SIZE

[@thatfitfriend]

What shoes do you normally wear for training and in what size? Can help further with more context, friend!

[@thetattooedguy1413]

@@thatfitfriend It’s weird, typically in Nike I wear a 11.5 and fits great. Most UA I’ve had have been 12. In the older UA Gemini 2 I can wear either 11.5 or 12. I have a thin, narrow foot. In the UA Hovr Infinite I have a size 12 but there feels like there’s almost to much room and I could go down to a 11.5

[@jdsright2point954]

Did you ever wear these again? They are really pushing the marketing for them.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, I wear them more for slip-on contexts, though. For training, I go with different models that perform better. My guess…they’re too specific for most folks so they’re trying to push them harder.

[@616breezy]

Can you wear these with no socks ?

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah! But note, the upper can feel weird on the top of the toes if you don’t tighten the BOA

[@616breezy]

I have a wide foot size 13. Do you recommend I go up a size to 14 ? I plan on using them for casual lifts and walking the city. What do you recommend I do ?

[@Secretlovechild]

Perfect for taking out the bin

[@isaacchapman393]

Just got a sub from me

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! 🤝

[@iknowjack316]

The only thing he is wrong about is the flow material it grips insanely well on all surfaces

[@thatfitfriend]

Wooooof. Have you ever tried using them on turf at all or wood floors with any form of high-intensity work? You sure you want to put your money on "insanely well"? :D

[@iknowjack316]

@thatfitfriend yes i have and also i am a under armour shoe expert but i will say he is absolutely right about the feeling heel slippage. In the shoe it takes time to get used to. Also the flow technology is on the curry 7's wich i also have and i wear those everywhere.

Also i meant no disrespect tward his analysis
