FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?

The Under Armour Ascend AL Running Shoes are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. They offer basic cushioning and support but may not provide the specialized features required for competitive running.

How do I clean the shoes?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of breathable mesh with added midfoot overlays for durability.

How do the stretch bungee laces work?

The stretch bungee laces are elastic and designed to allow the shoe to be slipped on and off easily, providing a secure fit without traditional laces.

What is the primary benefit of the midsole?

The one-piece EVA midsole is designed to provide cushioned landings and help convert that energy into explosive takeoffs, offering a responsive feel.

Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.

What is the recommended age group for these shoes?

These shoes are designed for kids, with sizes typically catering to younger children.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Ensure the correct size has been selected. The stretch bungee laces offer some adjustability, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and fit.

Difficulty slipping shoe on

Ensure the heel counter is fully pulled back when inserting the foot. Encourage the child to push their heel down firmly once the foot is inside.

Signs of wear on outsole

Inspect the outsole regularly. For minor wear, ensure the shoe is clean. If significant wear or damage occurs, consider replacement.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
