Anyone have Under Armour athletic shoes?

I'm making my Christmas wishlist for DH and would like a pair of comfy crosstrainers for doing kickboxing, weight training, a little bit of step...

I'm curious if you have these, which style do you have (Speed or Evade) and do you wear the size you'd wear in a regular tennis shoe (aka sneaker, but I always call them tennis shoes) or should I size up?

Thanks,
Melissa

Sorry for missing your post and answering belatedly, I hope it will still help. Here is how I answered somebody else if you didn't see this yet. Also, get a half size up from your regular shoe size. My regular shoe size is 8" and I get an 8.5" in the Under Armour. Here's my answer:

I'm an Under Armour convert BIG TIME !!! They are amazing shoes!! However, I like the 1st generation of the shoes better, they have more cushioning over all. The 2nd generation lack cushioning overall and ESPECIALLY in the forefoot where it counts in step and high impact plyo work. I LOVE the Proto Speed better than the Evade. They are a lighter shoe and have just as much cushioning if not more to my liking in the Speed. But remember I'm talking about the 1st generation. I still think you will be pleased with either the Speed or Evade but I like the lighter feel of the Speed. Try to get the 1st generation if at all possible. They really shirked on the 2nd and I made a comment to them about it on their website but they have never acknowledged it. They are the best cross trainers I have ever had!! And I bought a number of them in the 1st generation including one Evade because I couldn't bear to be without them!! They are great for my funky knees!! "

They fit like a glove, and i feel like i'm walking on air! I did go up a half size and am glad I did.
