  • The Running Collective : 79.8 / 100 — « Built by Under Armour around the Under Armour proprietary foam midsole, the HOVR Sonic 6 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (286 g, a 7 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $120. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The Under Armour HOVR Sonic 6 is a firm-riding workhorse that suits runners who dislike plush running shoes. The upper provides superb comfort but lacks breathability, which could be a drawback in warm climates. However, the outsole is impressively durable—we tested it in the lab and were genuinely impressed by its resilience. And while its flexibility makes it a solid option for walking and all-day wear, the firm foam and snug fit may not accommodate every runner’s needs. »
