Product Information
Full details
The Under Armour Charged Surge 4 is designed for active men seeking a versatile, breathable, and supportive trainer for daily running and workouts. Its primary strength lies in the Charged Cushioning midsole, which provides a responsive balance of impact absorption and energy return. While these shoes excel in comfort and lightweight performance, they are primarily optimized for neutral runners and may lack the specialized stability features required by those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these shoes using a soft cloth and mild soap. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and cushioning properties.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The Charged Surge 4 is classified as a neutral trainer, designed for runners who do not require significant corrective support.
Can I use these for cross-training?
Yes, their responsive cushioning and secure fit make them suitable for light gym work and general fitness training.
What does the 8mm offset mean?
The offset refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm drop is considered standard, promoting a balanced, natural stride.
How should the shoe fit?
You should have about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider loosening the lacing system at the mid-foot.
Outsole collecting debris
The unique traction pattern is designed for grip but can trap small stones. Use a dull plastic tool to gently dislodge debris after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Charged Surge 4 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals over 2-3 days to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dirt. Clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
