FAQs
What type of runner is the Bandit Trail 3 best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for neutral runners who need flexibility, cushioning, and versatility on trails. They are designed for runners who don't require significant pronation control.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Bandit Trail 3 features a mesh upper designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are water-resistant to a degree but will not keep feet dry in prolonged wet conditions.
How should I clean my Bandit Trail 3 shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush and cold water with mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop for the Bandit Trail 3 is 8mm.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While they offer cushioning, they are specifically engineered for trail running. The outsole lugs are designed for off-road traction, which may wear down faster and provide less optimal grip on pavement.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made of durable rubber with technical trail lugs designed for maximum grip and longevity on various trail surfaces.
What does 'Charged Cushioning®' mean?
Charged Cushioning® is Under Armour's midsole technology that uses compression-molded foam. It provides a balance of responsiveness and durability, absorbing impact effectively.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If discomfort persists after break-in, consider if the sizing is correct.
Reduced grip on wet or muddy surfaces.
While designed for traction, extreme conditions may challenge the lugs. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, caution is advised.
Feet feel hot during runs.
The engineered mesh provides good ventilation, but in very hot conditions, heat can still build up. Ensure socks are also breathable. Consider running during cooler parts of the day.
Slipping inside the shoe.
Ensure you are using the correct size and lacing technique. The molded sockliner should conform to your foot; if it feels like it's not, double-check your fit and lace tension.

These shoes are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Lace them up using the standard tie system to achieve a secure feel, adjusting the tightness as needed.

These shoes are classified as NEUTRAL, making them compatible with runners who have a neutral gait.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
