Product Information

Full details

These men's trainers from Under Armour are designed for adult runners seeking a lightweight and comfortable shoe for road running and gym activities. The key benefit is the responsive Charged Cushioning midsole, providing excellent energy return to help you run further and faster. A potential caveat is that while durable, the outsole is specifically designed for road traction, which may impact grip on very different terrains.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

While the Charged Cushioning provides good energy return, these trainers are best suited for shorter to medium-distance road running and training. For marathons, consider models specifically designed for ultra-distance comfort and support.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning structure. Clean them by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.

What is the main advantage of the Charged Cushioning midsole?

The Charged Cushioning midsole absorbs impact effectively and converts it into responsive energy return, helping to propel you forward and reduce fatigue during your runs.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel snug and not lift excessively when walking. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running is recommended.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The upper is primarily made of 81% Textile and 19% Synthetic materials for breathability and structure. The outsole is 100% Rubber for durability and traction.

Are these good for cross-training?

They offer decent support for general gym activities and lighter cross-training due to their secure fit and cushioning. However, for intense lateral movements or specialized training, dedicated cross-training shoes might provide better stability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them indoors for short periods to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider alternative sizing or models.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is optimized for dry road conditions. Be cautious on wet or slippery surfaces. Cleaning the outsole periodically can help maintain grip.

Upper material feels warm

The breathable mesh is designed for airflow. If feet still feel too warm, ensure socks are moisture-wicking and consider a lighter sock type.

Tread wear after minimal use

Check if the shoes are being used primarily on abrasive surfaces (e.g., concrete paths) or for activities beyond their intended use. Inspect for any damage to the midsole.
