Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Runners - Orange - UK 12.5

While you can technically run on roads with them, the Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Runners are specifically designed with features like the aggressive Vibram® outsole and reinforced upper optimized for the varied and rugged terrain of trails. Using them extensively on pavement may wear down the outsole lugs faster and might not provide the same smooth ride as a dedicated road running shoe.

The lifespan of trail running shoes can vary based on your mileage, terrain, and running style. Generally, trail shoes are replaced every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or outsole grip. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the upper for tears regularly.

These shoes feature a lightweight, breathable technical mesh upper, which is not designed to be waterproof. While it offers some protection against light splashes, prolonged exposure to water will likely result in wet feet. For extremely wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or shoes specifically designed with a waterproof membrane.

UA HOVR™+ is Under Armour's advanced cushioning technology designed to provide a 'zero-gravity feel.' It helps eliminate impact with every step, returns energy to propel you forward, and offers a dynamic, responsive ride. This translates to less fatigue and a more efficient running experience, especially over long distances on trails.

To clean the Vibram® outsole, first, let any caked-on mud dry completely. Then, use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub away the dried mud and debris. You can also rinse it with cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the rubber over time. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly air-dried before storage.

The strategic haptic print refers to a tactile, often textured, application on the shoe's upper. Its primary purpose is to add an extra layer of durability and abrasion resistance in key areas without adding significant weight. This helps protect the shoe from scuffs and tears from rocks, branches, and other trail hazards.

Check your lacing technique to ensure even pressure; experimenting with different lacing patterns can help. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks to prevent friction and blisters. Consider if the shoe size is correct, as fit is crucial for comfort.

While the Vibram® outsole offers excellent grip, no shoe can prevent all slips on extremely slick surfaces like wet rock or ice. Ensure the outsole lugs are clean and free of embedded mud or debris. Assess the wear of the outsole; significant wear can reduce traction.

Regularly clean the shoes after trail runs. For heavy mud, let it dry and then gently brush it off before wiping with a damp cloth. This prevents dirt from becoming ingrained and maintains the breathability and appearance of the technical mesh.

These shoes prioritize breathability and may not be fully waterproof. After wet runs, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
