Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Ascend AL Running Shoes are designed for young, active boys who need comfortable and durable trainers for everyday wear and light athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the ease of use with stretch bungee laces and a plush sockliner, making them simple for kids to put on and take off. A potential caveat is that while built for durability, they are primarily intended for running and training, not heavy-duty or extreme sports.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not designed to be waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper which is not water-resistant.

Can the bungee laces be removed or replaced?

The stretch bungee laces are integrated into the shoe for a slip-on design and are not intended to be removed or replaced.

What is the best way to clean these shoes?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these suitable for competitive sports?

They are suitable for general training and light athletic activities. For highly competitive or specialized sports, consider footwear designed specifically for those disciplines.

What size should I order for my child?

Refer to the size chart provided by Under Armour and measure your child's foot accurately. These are listed in UK children's sizes.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is designed to be lightweight and durable for regular use. However, extreme wear and tear from aggressive play may affect longevity.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The one-piece EVA midsole provides cushioning for comfort during landings and helps convert impact into responsive energy for takeoffs during movement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to put on.

Ensure the heel counter is pushed down slightly to allow the foot to slide in more easily. Wiggle the foot to help it settle into the sockliner.

Laces seem too loose or too tight.

The bungee laces offer a fixed stretch. For a more customized fit, consider the shoe's overall snugness. If significant adjustment is needed, these may not be the ideal model.

Bottom of the shoe has debris stuck in the tread.

Use a stiff brush or a pointed tool (like a toothpick or blunt end of a pen) to carefully remove trapped debris from the outsole grooves.

Shoes smell after use.

Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing again.
