Who should buy

For beginners seeking a durable, wallet-friendly shoe that can multitask as a cross-trainer or walking shoe, we think the Under Armour Fleece High Neck Sweatshirt Ladies is a superb pick. Even seasoned runners can rely on it, as we found, for easy or moderate runs. But it's only suited for those among us who appreciate a balanced or firm midsole.

Who should NOT buy

Here are some situations where we think that runners seeking a budget-friendly shoe might want to look elsewhere:

Heel stack

It's well known that beginners frequently prefer affordable shoes and they often strike the ground with their heel. Thats the reason why we're noticing a clear trend among entry-level shoes from many brands.

They're leaning toward generous stack heights in the heel. In the CA9, our precise measurement came at 34.0-mm stack in the heel.

Forefoot stack

However, for those of us who are forefoot or midfoot strikers, the forefoot section comes up a bit short on foam.

Measuring at 23.1 mm, once we deduct the outsole and the insole, there's barely any foam left, as the picture clearly illustrates.

Drop

A tall heel coupled with a low forefoot inevitably results in a significant heel-to-toe drop.

For the Under Armour Fleece High Neck Sweatshirt Ladies, we measured a considerable drop of 10.9 mm. Again, this one is clearly tailored with heel strikers in mind.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

If you're a fan of ultra-soft midsoles, stay away from this one.

However, it's not as tough as a brick underfoot—we confirmed that with a hardness rating of 27.8 HA, but it doesn't offer the dreamy, plush comfort you'd find in shoes like the T-shirt Under Armour GL Foundation vermelho branco preto.

There have been times when we thought a shoe was incredibly flexible, only for the numbers to prove us wrong. But this isn't one of those instances.

It took us a mere 17.7N of force to bend this shoe to 90 degrees, and with this measurement, the Under Armour Fleece High Neck Sweatshirt Ladies easily secures a spot in the top 10% for flexibility.

Weight

Let's be clear—this shoe isn't marketed or designed to be a lightweight daily trainer. And tipping the scales at 10.2 oz or 290g, it goes past the 10 oz mark by just a smidge.

It's important for us to remember that we're dealing with a budget-friendly shoe here, tailored for easy or moderate runs. In this Tights, lightness isn't the top priority, and this weight it's acceptable.

Breathability

At a quick glance, the breathability of the UA Under Armour Fleece High Neck Sweatshirt Ladies doesn't appear to be impressive. However, we can't just rely on first impressions—we put running shoes through rigorous lab tests, that's what we do.

Our first step involves pumping smoke through the shoe to assess its breathability. Unfortunately, this particular Under Armour model is a bit of a disappointment in this area, earning a lower-than-average score of 3 out of 5.

While we can see a small amount of light coming through from the other side, it's minimal at best. This observation only confirms our initial impression of the shoe's subpar breathability.

But nothing like the microscope for a deeper understanding of the upper. Under Armour has designed the shoe with a multi-layered engineered mesh that restricts airflow, and they have not included any ventilation holes in the design.

While sometimes poor breathability in shoes can be attributed to a rugged upper, sadly, that's not an excuse for the Under Armour Fleece High Neck Sweatshirt Ladies.

We conducted our Dremel test and the results left us no choice but to give it a disappointing 1 out of 5. Indeed, the shoe sports a reinforced toe cap, which provides Short protection against abrasion. However, the rest of the upper isn't up to par, making the shoe extremely susceptible to wear and tear.

Misc

For us, the CA9 felt just a tad too small. If you're often caught between sizes, consider going up half a size. However, most runners should stick with their usual size.
