Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Running Shoe - Black - 9

The Under Armour Infinite Pro Trail Running Shoe offers durability and support for wet conditions, but it is not specifically listed as waterproof. It is designed to handle splashes and damp trails, but prolonged submersion will likely result in water entering the shoe.

While you can technically run on roads with these shoes, they are primarily designed for optimal performance on trails. The outsole's aggressive traction pattern and overall construction are optimized for uneven and soft surfaces, which might feel less efficient or wear down faster on hard, paved roads.

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt once dry. For tougher stains, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.

For best comfort and to prevent blisters, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic socks specifically designed for running. These socks help to manage sweat and provide cushioning during your runs.

These shoes are designed to provide excellent overall foot support and stability, which contributes to a secure feel around the ankle on uneven terrain. While they are not high-top shoes, their stable platform helps prevent excessive ankle movement.

It's always a good idea to break in new running shoes. We recommend wearing them for a few shorter runs (e.g., 2-3 miles) before tackling longer distances or more challenging trails. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

Ensure your laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Check your sock choice; moisture-wicking athletic socks are recommended. Verify you have the correct shoe size; a shoe that is too small or too large can cause rubbing and discomfort. Allow for a short break-in period if new.

Inspect the outsole of your shoes for caked-on mud, rocks, or debris and clean thoroughly. Ensure the terrain you are running on is within the shoe's design capabilities; extremely slick or technical surfaces might require specialized footwear beyond a standard trail shoe. Check for excessive wear on the outsole lugs, which can reduce grip over time.

New trail running shoes may feel stiffer initially. Allow for a break-in period of a few shorter runs to soften the materials. Ensure the shoe size is correct, as an ill-fitting shoe can feel clunky. While designed for durability, trail shoes inherently have more material than minimalist road shoes, contributing to a slightly heavier feel for protection.

Trail running shoes are designed for durability and traction, and while some may offer water resistance, they are generally not fully waterproof unless specifically stated. After running through wet conditions, follow the care instructions for drying by removing insoles and air-drying them thoroughly in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor and material degradation.
