Under Armour Armour - Trail Runners - Green - 9

While you can run short distances on roads, these shoes are specifically designed for trail surfaces. The aggressive lug pattern of the Vibram outsole, which provides excellent grip off-road, may feel less comfortable and wear down faster on pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.

These shoes feature UA HOVR+ cushioning and an 8mm offset, making them versatile for various foot strikes. The cushioning is designed to absorb impact efficiently, whether you are a heel striker or midfoot striker on trails.

UA HOVR+ is an extra-springy cushioning compound that provides a high degree of impact reduction, exceptional energy return, and a propulsive feel. It is engineered to give a responsive and protected ride, especially beneficial on the varied and often challenging surfaces found on trails.

A single Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Runner weighs approximately 11.4 ounces (323 grams) for a men's size 9. This weight offers a balance between protection, cushioning, and agility on the trails.

Yes, their durable construction, excellent traction, and comfortable cushioning make them a suitable option for hiking, especially on moderate to challenging trails where agility and grip are important. For heavy backpacking with very heavy loads, a dedicated hiking boot might offer more ankle support.

We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Generally, running shoes should have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and your heel should feel secure without slipping. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running.

The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, and consider adjusting your lacing to prevent excessive constriction that might hinder airflow. If conditions are extremely hot, lighter socks can help.

Check your sock choice for proper fit and material. Re-evaluate your lacing technique; sometimes adjusting tension or using a different lacing pattern can alleviate pressure points. Ensure the shoe size is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can cause discomfort. A brief break-in period might also be necessary.

While the Vibram outsole provides best-in-class grip, extreme conditions like slick wet rocks or very deep, thick mud can challenge any shoe. Ensure the lugs are clean of compacted mud or debris after each run, as this can reduce their effectiveness. Also, consider your running form on tricky terrain.
