Is underarmour shoes good for running a marathon?

Question

I bought new underarmour shoes today from finishline, they are the new prototype running shoes. I am running the chicago marathon this year (2008) and i want to know if those shoes are good to run in. The associate at finish line said they would work (eventhough the shoe is designed for speed). Any ideas? I figured the shoe has good cushioning and other things, so it might work but i also want to make sure i am not killing my knees, (I am 22 years old).

Answer 1

awsome

Answer 2

i have that same pair of shoes....i went running about 4 days ago with them...on my 9th mile i almost **** my pants and had to stop..it had nothing to do with the shoes lol...so yes they are good to run in

Answer 3

I have been running for 8 years now. Though I am biased towards Nike as a brand, I would recommend you to go to a running-specific store, like Fleet Feet in Carrboro, NC. They can help you find the right shoe because people buy shoes that aren't necessarily right for their feet, but more comfortable or fashionable. But after you get the correct shoes or even if you haven't, I would go to any major athletics store and ask the sales associates because they are getting paid to know the products they are selling. But make sure you state the use/reason for buying the shoes. Good luck!!!
