Product Information
Full details
The Under Armour Charged Pursuit 4 trainers are designed for adult males seeking lightweight and breathable footwear for running. Their key benefit is the responsive Charged Cushioning® midsole, offering a blend of comfort and durability for various training activities. A potential consideration is their specific offset (8mm), which may not suit all running gaits. These trainers feature a performance mesh upper, foam padding for enhanced comfort, a durable outsole with good traction, and incorporate at least 30% recycled content in the upper.

FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Charged Pursuit 4 trainers?
These trainers are primarily designed for running and general training activities. They offer a good balance of cushioning, flexibility, and breathability for these purposes.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Charged Pursuit 4 features a durable outsole pattern, but it is optimized for road and gym surfaces. For trail running with varied terrain, a shoe with more aggressive lugs and specific trail protection would be more suitable.
How much recycled content is in the upper?
The upper of the Charged Pursuit 4 trainers contains at least 30% recycled content.
What does the 8mm offset mean?
The 8mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This is a common offset for running shoes, providing a moderate heel-to-toe transition.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is the preferred method for cleaning.
What kind of socks work best with these shoes?
Performance athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials are recommended. The choice of sock thickness can also influence the overall fit and comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Try wearing them with different thickness socks. If the issue persists, the shoe's offset or fit may not be suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The Charged Cushioning® is designed for durability, but like all midsoles, it will eventually compress. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use for running and training activities. Clean the shoes regularly to prevent dirt buildup that can affect performance.
Slipping during lateral movements
While the outsole provides good traction, these shoes are optimized for forward motion. For sports requiring significant side-to-side agility, consider a shoe specifically designed for court sports or cross-training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely using the standard tie system. Adjust the tightness to your comfort level, ensuring a snug feel around the foot without restricting circulation.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners and trainers. The 8mm offset is standard for many running shoes, but individuals with specific biomechanical needs or preferences (e.g., zero-drop or maximalist shoes) should consider this. They are suitable for road running, treadmill use, and general gym training.
Care: To maintain the trainers' condition:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the cushioning and materials.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Do not use a clothes dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
