FAQs
What kind of runner is the Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for neutral runners who require a balanced combination of flexibility and cushioning for their daily runs and training.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, while primarily designed for running, their comfortable and responsive design makes them suitable for light cross-training, gym workouts, and casual wear.
How do I know if I'm a 'neutral' runner?
A neutral runner typically has an even wear pattern on their outsoles or a slight wear on the outside edge of the heel and under the ball of the foot. Your foot doesn't excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) when you run. If unsure, a gait analysis at a specialized running store can help.
Is the sockliner removable for custom orthotics?
Yes, the deluxe foam sockliner is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed.
How often should I replace my Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or roughly every 4-6 months for regular runners. Pay attention to how the Charged Cushioning feels; a diminished bouncy feel is a key indicator for replacement.
What is 'Charged Cushioning'?
Charged Cushioning is Under Armour's proprietary midsole technology that uses compression-molded foam. It's engineered to provide both soft comfort and strong energy return, offering a responsive and durable ride.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check your lacing technique; try loosening or tightening specific sections. Ensure your socks are well-fitting and made of moisture-wicking material. Verify you have the correct size and that the shoe's neutral design aligns with your foot's gait.
Shoes feel less responsive or 'flat'
This can indicate the Charged Cushioning midsole is reaching the end of its effective lifespan. Running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles. Consider the age and mileage of your shoes.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the durable outsole pattern to remove any embedded dirt or debris. While designed for traction, no shoe offers perfect grip on all wet surfaces. Adjust your stride and pace in slick conditions.
Squeaking sound while walking or running
Check if the deluxe foam sockliner is properly seated inside the shoe. Sometimes, a loose insole can rub against the midsole. You can also try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 features a `standard tie` lacing system. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them to your preferred tightness. For an optimal fit, ensure your foot is centered in the shoe, and the laces are snug enough to prevent heel slip without causing pressure points.
- Loosen laces completely.
- Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
- Pull the laces evenly from the bottom up, securing them progressively.
- Tie a standard knot, ensuring it feels secure but not restrictive.
Compatibility
These shoes are NEUTRAL, meaning they are designed for runners who do not overpronate or supinate significantly. They offer a balanced blend of flexibility and cushioning. If you require specialized stability or motion control, this shoe may not be the best fit. They are compatible with various road surfaces and light track work.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the performance mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap). For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Insoles: Remove the deluxe foam sockliner after runs to allow both the insole and the shoe interior to air dry thoroughly, preventing odor buildup.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or damp environments.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend the lifespan of each pair.
