FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The EXPLOR Trail features a durable ripstop upper designed for protection, but they are not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While the UA HOVR cushioning is excellent, the deep lugs of the Exogrip outsole are optimized for soft trails and will wear down prematurely on pavement.
How should I clean the ripstop upper?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to spot clean. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing too vigorously.
Is the sizing consistent with other Under Armour footwear?
Yes, they generally follow standard Under Armour sizing, but the hiking-specific fit is designed to be slightly more secure around the heel and midfoot.
What is the function of the TPU heel stabilizer?
It provides a rigid structure around the heel to prevent unwanted rolling or lateral movement on uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Quick-toggle lacing does not hold tension
Ensure the lace lock mechanism is free of grit or sand; wipe with a damp cloth if necessary to allow the internal spring to engage fully.
Sensation of heel slippage
Re-adjust the quick-toggle while ensuring your heel is firmly seated in the back of the shoe before tightening the lock.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The ripstop material is protective but not gaiter-integrated; if walking in loose scree, consider pairing these with low-profile trail gaiters.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue on long hikes
- Dual-density midsole provides excellent shock absorption
- Aggressive lug pattern offers confident grip on technical terrain
- Quick-toggle lacing saves time and provides a consistent fit
Cons
- Ripstop material may not be as breathable as pure mesh shoes
- Performance-focused fit may feel snug for those with wider feet
- Vibrant orange colorway is highly visible and may show dirt quickly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the quick-toggle system while standing to mimic the natural splay of your feet under pressure. These shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is required. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the integrity of the ripstop fabric and the TPU components. Instead, clean the shoes by brushing off dry mud with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the adhesives and EVA foam to warp.
