Product Information
Full details
The Under Armour HOVR™ Turbulence 2 trainers are designed for adult women seeking daily training footwear that balances flexibility and cushioning. They offer a breathable knit upper for durability and containment, superior step-in comfort with a deluxe sockliner, and responsive UA HOVR™ cushioning to reduce impact and return energy. A potential consideration is that these are specifically designed for neutral runners, which may not suit those requiring significant pronation support. Key features include a breathable knit upper, advanced UA HOVR™ cushioning, a comfortable sockliner, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs
What type of runner is the HOVR™ Turbulence 2 best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for neutral runners who need a balance of flexibility and cushioning for daily training and road running.
How does the UA HOVR™ cushioning work?
UA HOVR™ cushioning provides a feeling of zero gravity, reducing impact, returning energy, and helping to propel you forward with each step.
What is the 'offset' of these shoes?
The offset is 8mm, which refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a common measurement that suits many running styles.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify if these are available in wide widths. Standard fit is implied. For a precise fit, it's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I use these for gym workouts as well as running?
Yes, the combination of cushioning, support, and flexibility makes them suitable for various daily training activities, including gym workouts.
How do I know if I have a neutral foot type?
Neutral runners typically have normal arches and their feet land on the outside of the heel and then roll inward slightly to absorb shock. If you're unsure, a gait analysis at a specialty running store can help determine your foot type.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The UA HOVR™ cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning technologies, it will gradually reduce over extended use. Consider replacing your trainers after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or if you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides durable traction, grip on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can affect grip.
