Known for its sturdy workout wear, Under Armour is adding shoes to its repertoire. I just took the stability sneaker, UA Revenant ($120), out for a couple of test runs, and I mean that literally. After wearing them around the house for some light cleaning, I wore them for a long jog on the road.

Alternative Names
Decreased sweating; Anhidrosis
Considerations
Anhidrosis sometimes goes unrecognized until a substantial amount of heat or exertion fails to cause sweating.
