FAQs

What type of surface are these trainers best for?

The Under Armour Halo Racer Trainers are best suited for road running and everyday training on paved surfaces. Their outsole is designed for traction and rebound on these types of terrains.

Can I use my own insoles?

Yes, the trainers feature a removable insole, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit and comfort.

Are these suitable for trail running?

No, these trainers are primarily designed for road surfaces. The outsole tread is not optimized for the varied and often loose terrain found on trails.

How do I clean my Halo Racer Trainers?

Clean them using a soft, damp cloth for surface dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Always air dry them at room temperature and avoid direct heat.

What does the HOVR+ cushioning do?

HOVR+ cushioning is Under Armour's technology designed to reduce impact, return energy, and help propel you forward during your run, offering a responsive and comfortable feel.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The Under Armour Halo Racer Trainers weigh approximately 12.1 ounces (US Men's size 9).

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

These trainers have an offset (heel-to-toe drop) of 5mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the standard tie laces to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly. If using custom insoles, re-adjust lacing after insertion.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Ensure the HOVR+ foam has not been compressed excessively or exposed to extreme temperatures. Clean the shoes as per care instructions, as dirt can sometimes impact performance perception.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

These trainers are optimized for dry conditions. For wet surfaces, consider alternative footwear with tread patterns specifically designed for wet traction.

Foot discomfort during runs

Verify the shoe size and fit. The removable insole can be replaced with a more suitable orthotic or insole if needed. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in before long runs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior cushioning with HOVR+ foam for reduced impact and increased energy return.
  • Lightweight and breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool.
  • TPU propulsion plate adds a responsive feel for better take-offs.
  • Durable outsole provides good traction on road surfaces.
  • Comfortable, adaptive fit with a 'barely-there' feel.

Cons

  • Best suited for dry weather conditions; performance in wet conditions may be compromised.
  • The offset is 5mm, which might not suit runners who prefer a zero-drop shoe.
  • Weight of 12.1 oz might be considered on the heavier side for some elite runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the standard tie laces. If you use custom insoles, remove the original removable insole before inserting yours for a perfect fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and general training in dry conditions. While the rubber outsole offers traction, they are not intended for trail running or highly wet surfaces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the upper and midsole. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with water and a soft brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and cushioning.
  4. Laces: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear. Replace if necessary.
