FAQs
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
These trainers are best for neutral runners who engage in daily training, including road running, gym workouts, and cross-training. They offer a balance of cushioning and flexibility.
How does the UA HOVR™ cushioning work?
UA HOVR™ cushioning is designed to reduce impact, return energy with each step, and help propel you forward, providing a responsive and comfortable ride.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry away from heat sources.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the HOVR™ Turbulence 2?
The offset is 8mm, meaning there is an 8mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The description does not specify width options. While the knit upper offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet should consider trying them on or checking for specific width availability if needed.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 9.8 oz (for a men's size 9, though weight varies slightly by size).
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The durable rubber outsole is designed for longevity and provides reliable traction, with flexibility built in for effective toe-off.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width and length. The knit upper will offer some stretch over time.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The UA HOVR™ cushioning is designed for longevity, but its responsiveness may naturally decrease after extensive use (typically hundreds of miles). Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant loss in comfort and energy return.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides traction, it may be less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could impair grip.
Upper material showing wear quickly
Avoid abrasive activities or environments that could snag or tear the knit upper. Ensure proper cleaning methods are used to preserve the material's integrity.
