Under Armour Football Boots

Under Armour Football Boots: Magnetico & Clone

Under Armour entered the football boot market later than the big three but has built a small, loyal following with boots that prioritise comfort and fit.

The Under Armour Magnetico Elite is the brand's flagship football boot. It features a FormTrue technology upper that maps to your foot's natural shape, reducing break-in time. The die-cut stud configuration on the soleplate is designed for firm ground traction with minimal pressure points. It's a solid all-round boot for midfielders and defenders.

The Under Armour Clone Magnetico Pro takes the Magnetico concept and uses UA's Clone technology — a moulding system originally developed for running shoes — to create a custom-feeling fit. The upper literally moulds to your foot shape with body heat, making it one of the most personalised fits on the market without a custom order.

Under Armour vs the Big Three

Under Armour boots occupy a niche: they're not as widely available as Nike or Adidas, and they lack the heritage of Puma or Mizuno. What they offer instead is strong fit technology at competitive prices. The Magnetico Elite typically retails below the Nike Phantom GX 2 or Adidas Predator Elite.

The downside is limited model variety. Where Nike offers three distinct silos (speed, control, leather), Under Armour essentially offers one concept in different tiers. If you want a pure speed boot or a traditional leather boot, look elsewhere.

Under Armour Sizing and Availability

Under Armour football boots tend to run true to size but slightly narrow through the midfoot. The Clone technology compensates for this by moulding to your foot, but the initial fit can feel tight. Give them 2-3 sessions to break in fully.

Availability in Europe is limited compared to Nike or Adidas. Fewer retailers stock Under Armour football boots, which means fewer sales to track — but when clearance happens, discounts can be steep (30-50% off).

How to Choose the Right Under Armour Boot

• All-round midfielder or defender: Magnetico Elite
• Custom fit technology: Clone Magnetico Pro
• Budget option: Magnetico Select — the entry-level tier with similar fit DNA
• Wide feet: Under Armour isn't the best choice for wide feet — consider Mizuno or New Balance instead

If you are open to a less obvious brand, Under Armour can be a smart value play. Monitor Magnetico alongside Nike Phantom, Adidas Predator, and Puma Future before deciding.
