Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
Setting up your Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 running shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Utilize the standard tie laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid pressure points, allowing for comfortable movement and blood circulation.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period of a few short runs to let the deluxe foam sockliner fully mold to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: These shoes are designed for neutral runners. If you have significant overpronation (foot rolls excessively inward) or supination (foot rolls excessively outward), you may benefit from shoes with specific stability or motion control features.
- Surfaces: Best suited for road, track, and gym surfaces. The outsole provides reliable traction on these environments.
- Activity: Ideal for running, jogging, walking, and general fitness activities.
Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, gently wipe down the mesh upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can insert crumpled newspaper or shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand cleaning is always recommended.
