FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, while primarily designed for running, the comfortable cushioning and flexible design of the Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 make them well-suited for everyday walking and casual wear as well.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
The Charged Pursuit 3 is optimized for road running and light, even paths. Its durable outsole provides good traction on paved surfaces and light gravel, but it is not designed for rugged trail conditions or uneven terrain.
How do I know if I'm a 'neutral runner'?
A neutral runner's foot typically exhibits a normal amount of pronation (inward roll) during the gait cycle. You can often get an indication by looking at the wear pattern on your old shoes – if it's fairly even across the forefoot and heel, you're likely a neutral runner. For a precise assessment, a gait analysis at a specialized running store can provide clarity.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Please refer to the 'Care' section of this guide for proper cleaning instructions.
What is 'Charged Cushioning' technology?
Charged Cushioning is a proprietary Under Armour midsole technology that uses compression molded foam. It's designed to deliver a responsive, durable, and energy-returning ride, providing an optimal balance of comfort and performance during your runs.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Under Armour running shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals and models. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a size guide provided by the retailer if you're unsure.
What is the recommended lifespan for these running shoes?
The typical lifespan for most running shoes, including the Charged Pursuit 3, is generally between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 kilometers). After this mileage, the cushioning and support properties tend to degrade, even if the upper still looks good. It's recommended to consider replacement for optimal performance and injury prevention.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Check that your socks are appropriate for running and that the shoe size is correct. Allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist.
Squeaking sound while walking or running
This can sometimes be caused by trapped moisture or dirt between the deluxe foam sockliner and the midsole. Remove the sockliner, clean both surfaces, dry thoroughly, and reinsert. If the issue persists, ensure the laces are not too tight, as this can sometimes cause friction noises.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically between 300-500 miles, after which the cushioning materials degrade. If you've covered significant mileage, it might be time to replace your shoes. Ensure you are not exposing them to extreme heat during cleaning or drying, which can accelerate material breakdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 features a standard tie lace type. To ensure optimal comfort and support:
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces before putting on the shoe.
- Insert Foot: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Lace Up: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. Adjust the laces progressively towards the top, aiming for a secure, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict blood flow or cause pressure points.
- Tie Knot: Tie a standard knot. If you experience heel slippage, consider trying a runner's knot (heel lock lacing) for added security.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for NEUTRAL runners who require a balance of flexibility and cushioning. This means your foot's natural pronation (inward roll) is typically within a normal range. They are suitable for various running activities, including:
- Daily training runs
- Road running on paved surfaces
- Light gym workouts
- Casual everyday wear
If you require significant arch support or motion control due to overpronation or supination, this shoe may not provide the necessary stability.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water and gently scrub the affected areas with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or use direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage materials and adhesives, compromising the shoe's structure and performance. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace them if necessary. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for a new pair to maintain optimal performance, traction, and prevent potential injury.
