FAQs
What does 'NEUTRAL' mean for these running shoes?
A 'NEUTRAL' running shoe is designed for runners whose feet have a natural pronation, meaning their foot rolls inward slightly after landing. These shoes provide a balanced amount of cushioning and flexibility without offering additional support for overpronation (excessive inward roll) or supination (outward roll).
How often should I replace my Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 running shoes?
Running shoes typically need replacing every 300-500 miles, or every 4-6 months, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as reduced cushioning, decreased responsiveness, or visible outsole deterioration.
Are these shoes suitable for walking or gym workouts?
Yes, while primarily designed for running, the Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 shoes offer excellent comfort and cushioning that make them suitable for walking, light gym workouts, and general daily wear. Their neutral design and responsive cushioning are beneficial for various activities.
How do I properly clean my Charged Pursuit 3 shoes?
To clean your shoes, first brush off any loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) and cool water to spot clean the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine. Air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Under Armour running shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering the strategic foam padding and molded sockliner which conform to your foot.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Charged Pursuit 3 is primarily designed for road running and paved surfaces. While the outsole offers good traction, it may not provide the aggressive grip or protection needed for technical trails, loose terrain, or significant off-road conditions. For trail running, a shoe specifically designed for trails would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust lacing by starting from the toes and tightening evenly. If too loose, try a 'runner's knot' at the top eyelets. For consistent tightness, re-tie after a few minutes of walking.
Feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
While the mesh upper is breathable, consider the type of socks you're wearing. Opt for moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool running socks over cotton, especially in warmer conditions. Ensure your shoes are not overtightened, which can restrict airflow.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot.' Some runners find specific lacing patterns can also help maintain tightness.
Unusual wear patterns on the outsole.
Monitor your running form, as uneven wear can indicate biomechanical imbalances. Consider having your gait analyzed by a running specialist. Rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes can also help distribute wear.
Squeaking sound from the shoes.
Often, squeaking is caused by friction between the sockliner and the shoe's interior. Try removing the sockliner and dusting some baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. Ensure the shoes are completely dry, as moisture can also cause squeaking.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent breathability keeps feet comfortable.
- Superior comfort thanks to extensive foam padding and molded sockliner.
- Responsive and durable cushioning for energetic runs.
- Good traction and flexibility from the outsole.
- Lightweight design enhances overall running experience.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Charged Pursuit 3 shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the standard laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
- Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is in, tighten the laces progressively from the toe box upwards, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit without any pressure points. Tie a secure knot.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: These shoes are explicitly designed for NEUTRAL runners. This means they are best suited for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their gait cycle, or who prefer a shoe that allows their foot's natural motion.
- Surfaces: Ideal for road running, track, gym use, and other paved or indoor surfaces where traction and flexibility are key.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, pair with performance running socks made of moisture-wicking synthetic blends.
Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For tougher spots, use a mild soap (dish soap works) mixed with cool water and a cloth or sponge to spot clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the sockliner and air it out separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your shoes with another pair to allow the cushioning to decompress and recover, extending their lifespan.
