detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: These are really nice looking shoes. The supersized flow cushioning is really comfortable and feels better cushioned than their cheaper shoes. The BOA system of laces works effectively as well. I do not notice the cool to touch feeling that UA suggests these have and I have. Overall these work well as a running shoe.
Where I’m not happy is the slip on performance. I bought these for the slip on design. Sometimes I just want to slip on my shoes and walk around. It’s a convenience thing. Well these are not good for that. Slipping these on means you push the heal down making a bit of a lump where the heel of your foot is. This is awkward and uncomfortable. Also these feel like every step you take the shoes are going to fly off. Another thing to note is there’s no instruction for BOA system. To loosen pop it up and turn in one direction. To tighten push it down to snap in place and turn to tighten. They are also much more bulky than any other shoes. I wear a 9.5 and bought two different shoes. When I took them out of the box, compared to my other UA shoes they looked huge and I thought it was the wrong size. They fit the same but they are chunky.
So The slip on feature feels uncomfortable and awkward and I would not pay the premium price to have that again. instead I will do what I always do. Buy a good shoe, tie them just tight enough to run and do gym activities but loose enough to just slip on and off when I want to.

detailedReviews 2: content: On paper, and other reviewers with narrow feet, this pair was great. But in my experience owning a few UA shoes (from various running and workout models) this was extremely narrow. I thought I just needed to break them in, but the BOA lace system coupled with the construction of the upper did not work out for me. I wore these for almost an entire day doing normal activities at work and at home, but come lunch time my feet were already worn out. I tried to adjust the laces to ease up a bit but it just made it more uncomfortable since my heel would almost dislodge when I increased my pace.
I love the design and having the BOA system on shoes outside of cycling and golf but these, unfortunately, are not for me. If you are used to wider shoes, these might not be for you.

title: Too narrow for wider feet, BOA issues
detailedReviews 3: content: I have been wanting to try the BOA lacing system for some time and also looking for a good recovery shoe that was still stylish. As it turns out, the BOA system is well-designed and very functional, it is the most comfortable shoe that I have every worn, and several teenage basketball players that I coach have complimented their looks. Their convertible heel is also very convenient. Heel up when coaching and training. Heel down when traveling or chilling. I also discovered that they are ideal for airport security; easy to slip on and off but still feel like a shoe. I bought the light grey colorway. I just wish they came in a darker grey or black as well. I would own multiple pairs.

detailedReviews 4: content: Best shoes I’ve ever owned. I bought them originally after having major surgery. I had been were crocs but wanted something with more cushion and versatility. Plus was that you don’t have to tie them. I love the adjustable dial and have not had any issues with it. I start the day with the heel up and towards the end of the day I put the heel down. I just bought my second pair of the black color. I also have the first white color and am looking forward to buying additional colors.

detailedReviews 5: content: These shoes are great for everyday use as well as running.
I have wide feet and ordered a half size up as recommended, I would say going up one full size would've been much more comfortable. The BOA laces are amazing for easily tightening and loosening the shoe. The cushion is the best part of the shoe and provides great stability. This is the first shoe I have worn in over a decade without my orthotic insoles and I did not experience any pain after prolonged use. Highly recommend!

detailedReviews 6: content: Let me start by saying that I absolutely love these shoes! Very comfortable to wear in both modes. Being able to just slip them on when in a hurry fits my busy lifestyle. Now running in these is a different story. I like to say I’m an intermediate level runner, and I have had a rough few runs with these. They’re just too heavy for my preference and the heel support is just not there. I plan to use this shoe for more of an everyday wear and recovery.

detailedReviews 7: content: I bought the new Mega Slipspeed shoes in my quest of trying to find a versatile shoe that I can get on and off my feet fast. My life is fast and I do a lot of running around. When trying these shoes on they had the familiar feel of a normal sneaker however I have barely used them as a normal sneaker. I constantly put the back down so I can be on the go. The shoe is very comfortable. It feels good under foot and traction has been on point so far. Plus as a bonus when you push the back of the shoe down it adds more cushioning. They are a little too roomy for me in the toe box but other than that they have been the shoe I have been looking for. I am a long time UA supporter and these shoes did not disappoint.

detailedReviews 8: content: I bought 2 pairs of these awesome kicks. One pair for running and one for walking. The dial to tighten the laces works every time and the slip-in option is really convenient. These are good for short and flat runs and have a lot of bounce to them.
They're also super easy to clean and maintain. For the price, their versatility is worth it!

detailedReviews 9: content: So I love the idea of the Slipspeed. BOA works well. It's well cushioned and comfortable throughout. The problem is twofold....it needs to come in at least a wide option and it needs better lateral support. If you don't have to do a lot of lateral movements or cutting (which I don't), this works perfectly fine. You notice the lateral support issues especially when you're on slightly uneven surfaces.

detailedReviews 10: content: These shoes have no grip. Expect to slip on carpet, smooth stone, and any wet surfaces (crosswalks, stone, brick, asphalt, etc.) The lace mechanism is neat, but it's hard to get them really tight. There is no ventilation.
