Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Runners feature a lightweight and breathable mesh upper, which is not designed to be waterproof. They offer good ventilation to keep your feet cool and dry out quickly.
What is the recommended terrain for these shoes?
These shoes are specifically engineered for rugged and technical trail surfaces, including dirt paths, rocky terrain, gravel, and varied outdoor environments where superior grip and cushioning are essential.
Can I use these for road running?
While you technically can, these shoes are optimized for trail conditions. The aggressive lug pattern of the Vibram outsole is designed for off-road traction and may wear down faster or feel less efficient on paved surfaces.
How should I clean my Infinite Pro Trail Runners?
Brush off loose dirt after each run. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying. Air dry thoroughly, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does 'UA HOVR+' cushioning do?
UA HOVR+ is an extra-springy cushioning system designed to reduce impact forces on your body and provide a strong energy return, helping to propel you forward and maintain comfort during long runs.
What is the heel-to-toe drop (offset) of these shoes?
The Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Runners have an 8mm heel-to-toe offset, providing a balanced and common drop for many runners.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
These are neutral shoes, offering a balance of flexibility and cushioning. They are not specifically designed for motion control to correct overpronation. Runners who overpronate significantly may need to consider stability shoes or orthotics.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice significantly impacts comfort. Consider loosening laces slightly to improve airflow.
I'm experiencing less grip than expected on wet rocks.
While the Vibram outsole offers excellent traction, wet, slick rocks can still be challenging. Focus on shorter strides, ensure your outsole is free from mud buildup, and choose foot placements carefully. No shoe guarantees absolute slip prevention on all wet surfaces.
The shoe feels a bit stiff initially.
This is normal for new trail shoes, especially those designed for durability. Continue with shorter break-in runs. The materials and cushioning will become more flexible and conform to your foot over time.

Cons
- Neutral support may not be ideal for runners requiring significant motion control or pronation stability.
- The aggressive lug design, while excellent for trails, may feel less comfortable or wear faster on paved surfaces.

Setup and First Use 1. Lacing: Utilize the standard tie laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure even tension across your foot to prevent hot spots or slippage, especially on descents. 2. Break-In: Like most specialized running shoes, a short break-in period is recommended. Start with shorter runs on varied trails to allow the shoes to conform to your feet and the cushioning to activate fully. ### Compatibility - Terrain: Best suited for rugged, technical trails, dirt paths, gravel, and mixed outdoor terrains. The Vibram outsole is specifically designed for off-road performance. - Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking a balance of flexibility and cushioning. Runners with specific stability needs may require additional support from insoles or a different shoe type. - Usage: While durable, these are specialized trail running shoes. Regular use on paved roads may lead to faster wear of the outsole lugs and diminish their trail-specific benefits. ### Care and Maintenance - Cleaning: After each trail run, gently brush off any loose dirt, mud, or debris from the upper and outsole. For deeper cleaning, hand wash the shoes using a mild soap (like dish soap or laundry detergent) and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals. - Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove the sockliners and allow them to dry separately. Do not machine wash or machine dry your trail runners, as this can damage materials and adhesives. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can degrade materials over time. - Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded rocks or debris that could affect grip. Inspect the upper for any small tears or abrasions that could be addressed early.
