FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking or gym workouts?
Yes, while primarily designed for running, the comfortable fit, breathable upper, and responsive cushioning make the Charged Pursuit 3 suitable for extended walking sessions and general gym workouts, although specialized cross-training shoes might offer more stability for lateral movements.
What does 'NEUTRAL' mean for this running shoe?
A 'neutral' running shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not overpronate (roll inward excessively) or supinate (roll outward excessively). These shoes provide a balanced combination of flexibility and cushioning without extra stability or motion control features, allowing for a natural foot motion.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the Charged Pursuit 3, are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) or every 4-6 months, whichever comes first. This can vary based on your running style, weight, and terrain.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties of the shoe. It's best to hand clean them as described in the 'Care' section.
What type of lacing is used?
The Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 features a standard tie lace type, allowing for conventional lacing methods and customizable tightness for a secure fit.
Are these suitable for cold weather or wet conditions?
The performance mesh upper provides excellent breathability but does not offer significant insulation for very cold weather or waterproofing for wet conditions. For cold or wet runs, consider shoes with water-resistant or insulated uppers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during a run.
Ensure you've loosened and re-tied the laces properly, starting from the toe box. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Check your sock thickness; thinner socks might alleviate tightness.
My feet feel hot and sweaty after short runs.
While the mesh upper is designed for breathability, ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture. Allow shoes to fully air dry between runs.
The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as when new.
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style and weight. If you've reached this mileage, the cushioning may be compressed and losing its effectiveness, indicating it's time for a replacement.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Note that while durable, the outsole pattern is optimized for road/track and may not perform optimally on very wet, icy, or loose off-road terrains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 running shoes is straightforward. The shoes feature a standard tie lace type. To ensure the best fit:
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces before putting the shoe on.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, making sure your heel is seated comfortably against the back.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually pull the laces snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow or create pressure points. You should be able to wiggle your toes comfortably.
- Tie Securely: Finish with a double knot for added security during your run.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed as NEUTRAL running shoes. This means they are best suited for:
- Neutral Runners: Individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their gait cycle.
- Runners Seeking Balance: Those who prefer a balanced combination of flexibility and cushioning without additional stability features.
- Road and Track: Ideal for running on paved surfaces, treadmills, and synthetic tracks.
They are not recommended for runners who require significant stability control or motion control due to severe overpronation.
Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your running shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the performance mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt, mud, or debris from the outsole pattern.
- Air Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not put your running shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the cushioning and adhesive components.
