FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the cushioning and responsiveness can be beneficial, these trainers are specifically designed with trail features like aggressive lugs for traction. They are best suited for mixed terrain or predominantly trail use.
What type of foot strike is best for these trainers?
The Bandit Trail 3 is designed for neutral runners. They accommodate a variety of foot strikes as long as no significant pronation control is needed.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is constructed with durable rubber featuring technical trail lugs, designed to withstand the wear and tear of trail running and provide consistent grip.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with cool water and a mild soap, followed by air drying, is the best method for cleaning.
What is the offset of the shoe?
The offset for this model is 8mm, which is considered a moderate offset that balances cushioning and ground feel.
What does 'Charged Cushioning®' mean?
Charged Cushioning® is Under Armour's proprietary midsole technology that uses compression-molded foam to provide a balance of impact absorption, responsiveness, and durability.
Troubleshooting
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud and debris. For significantly wet or slick conditions, approach with caution as extreme conditions can challenge any tread pattern.
Feet feel uncomfortable or develop hot spots
Check the lacing for even pressure distribution. Ensure the molded sockliner is seated correctly. Consider wearing moisture-wicking running socks.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable yet supportive. If it feels too tight, ensure the laces are adjusted properly and consider if the shoe size is correct for your foot.
Midsole feels too firm or too soft
The Charged Cushioning® is designed for responsiveness and durability. Performance can feel different based on terrain and individual running style. Break-in period may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not so tight as to restrict circulation.
Compatibility:
Designed for trail running, these shoes are compatible with a wide range of outdoor surfaces including dirt, gravel, mud, and light rocky paths. They are intended for neutral runners who do not require additional motion control or stability features.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
