Summary
The UA Slipspeed training shoes are meant to easily switch between training and recovery mode. The heel folds in to convert the shoes to slip-ons, and instead of laces, Under Armour uses a knob that you can twist to tighten the shoes. Additionally, UA Flow Cushioning lines the midsole, providing plenty of cushioning—even for flat feet—and the interior cushioning uses Iso-Chill technology, designed to be cool to the touch and keep your feet comfortable in all conditions.
