I have just purchased these great looking comfy shoes. I loved the phantom 1 so much I just had to get the phantom 2. Even though I really liked the no laces in the first model I'm am greatly surprised and very happy with the choice I've made. JPphantom · underarmour.com.au

These shoes clearly are a high end shoe based on the construction. Stretchy fabric upper provides a great feel of compression for the foot. Fit is highly supportive but comfortable. Takes a bit to put the shoe on as the upper opening is smaller but once you get your toes in, the shoe stretches on with your fingers in the back support. My favorite UA shoes.
