Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Charged Pursuit 4 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking lightweight flexibility and impact protection for regular running. Their key benefit lies in the responsive Charged Cushioning® midsole, which enhances energy return. A potential consideration is that while offering good traction, they are primarily built for road running and may not be ideal for highly technical off-road terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Charged Pursuit 4 offers good cushioning and energy return, making them suitable for many runners participating in marathons, especially for training or for those who prefer a lighter, more flexible shoe. However, for extreme long-distance runners who require maximum cushioning or specific stability features, other models might be considered.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of 81% Textile and 19% Synthetic materials, designed for breathability and flexibility.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While the lightweight and flexible design can accommodate some gym activities, they are optimized for running. For specific training that involves lateral movements or heavy lifting, cross-training shoes might offer better stability and support.

How does the Charged Cushioning® work?

Charged Cushioning® uses moulded foam to provide a responsive ride. It absorbs impact energy and converts it into explosive energy return, helping to propel you forward with each step.

What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is durable and features a specific pattern designed to provide excellent flex and traction, ensuring a secure grip on road surfaces.

How should I clean my trainers?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying.

Are these trainers available in other colours?

Yes, the Charged Pursuit series is available in various colours, including Black and Prime Pink, in addition to Grey.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces before putting them on and then re-tightening to your preferred fit. The mesh upper and foam padding will offer some initial give.

Slipping during runs

Check the outsole for debris. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design (primarily roads). If the issue persists on dry pavement, the outsole may be worn.

Feet feel overheated

The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. For extremely hot conditions, consider moisture-wicking socks.

Discomfort around the ankle

Verify the shoe size is correct and the lacing is not too tight. The foam padding around the ankle collar should provide comfort; ensure it is not bunched or misaligned.
