Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour UA BPS Ascend AL Trainers are designed for young male athletes seeking a comfortable and durable shoe for training activities. Their key benefit lies in the easy slip-on design and cushioned midsole, making them ideal for quick transitions and active play. A potential caveat is that while designed for durability, they are still children's trainers and may show wear with very intense, prolonged use. This guide covers their features, benefits, and practical use.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for general athletic activities and everyday wear for children. They provide good cushioning but may not offer the specialized support required for elite marathon running.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Under Armour or your retailer. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the provided measurements. The size listed is UK children's 12.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to maintain the integrity of the materials.

What is the main advantage of the bungee laces?

The stretch bungee laces are designed for ease of use, allowing children to quickly slip the shoes on and off without needing to tie laces. This promotes independence.

How durable is the EVA midsole?

The one-piece EVA midsole is designed to be lightweight and provide cushioned landings. While durable for typical children's activities, prolonged, high-impact use can eventually lead to wear.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but will not keep feet dry in heavy rain or submersion.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'UA BPS' (Boys Preschool/School) designation and the children's sizing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to slip on.

Ensure the foot is fully inserted and the heel is properly seated. The bungee laces may need a slight stretch initially. If the child's foot has grown, a larger size may be required.

Bottom of the shoe is slippery on wet surfaces.

The outsole provides traction on most surfaces, but like all footwear, performance can be reduced on very wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Inner sockliner feels loose or bunched.

Ensure the foot is placed correctly within the shoe. If the sockliner is consistently bunching, check for any debris trapped underneath or consider if the shoe size is appropriate.

Mesh upper shows signs of tearing.

While durable, the mesh can tear if subjected to sharp objects or excessive abrasion. Avoid activities that could snag or cut the mesh. If minor fraying occurs, trim loose threads carefully.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and midsole. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laces: The stretch bungee laces are designed for durability but should be checked periodically for signs of wear. Avoid excessive pulling or stretching.
