Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity from your Under Armour Infinite Pro Trainers, follow these guidelines for setup, compatibility, and care.
Getting Started (Setup)
- Lacing: Utilize the standard tie laces to secure your foot. Begin by gently tightening from the toe box upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit across your instep without being overly constrictive. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what provides the most comfort and security for your foot type.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start due to the EVA sockliner, it's recommended to wear your new trainers for a few shorter runs or walks before tackling a long, challenging trail. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot shape and for you to fine-tune the fit.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: These trainers are designed for neutral runners who require a balance of flexibility and cushioning. They do not offer extensive motion control features.
- Terrain: Optimally suited for trail surfaces, including dirt paths, rocky trails, gravel, and muddy conditions. They are not primarily designed for road running, where their aggressive lug pattern might feel excessive.
- Gender & Size: These are unisex trainers. This specific variant is UK size 6. Please ensure you select the correct size for your comfort and performance.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your trainers and maintain their performance:
- Cleaning: After a muddy run, allow the mud to dry, then gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well for the lugs). For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or degrade the adhesive.
- Odor Control: Remove the EVA sockliners after runs to allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments, which can promote bacterial growth and material degradation.
