FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of runners?

No, the Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 is specifically designed for neutral runners who need a balance of flexibility and cushioning. Runners with significant overpronation may require shoes with more stability or motion control features.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, their lightweight and flexible design, combined with comfortable cushioning and reliable traction, makes them an excellent choice for gym workouts, including cardio, light strength training, and elliptical use.

How do I clean my Charged Pursuit 3 shoes?

Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water to protect the materials.

What is 'Charged Cushioning'?

`Charged Cushioning` is a unique foam technology developed by Under Armour. It's compression-molded to be highly responsive and durable, offering both impact absorption and energy return for a springy feel.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Running shoes typically need replacing every 300-500 miles, or every 6-12 months, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear like reduced cushioning, outsole degradation, or new aches and pains.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Under Armour running shoes generally run true to size. However, foot shape can vary. It's always recommended to try them on or consult a sizing chart if you are unsure. (Info needed: Specific sizing recommendations if available)

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, check your foot measurement against Under Armour's sizing guide.

Foot feels hot or sweaty.

The shoe features ample mesh for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If running in very hot conditions, consider lighter apparel overall.

Lack of expected cushioning.

While the Charged Cushioning is responsive, it's not maximalist. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your specific cushioning preference. Cushioning can also break down over extensive mileage; consider if it's time for a new pair (typically 300-500 miles).

Squeaking sound while running.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the deluxe foam sockliner, dusting it with a small amount of baby powder, and reinserting it. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning and impact absorption for comfort.
  • Highly breathable design keeps feet cool.
  • Lightweight and flexible for a natural running feel.
  • Comfortable fit with deluxe foam sockliner and padding.
  • Durable outsole offers good traction and flexibility.

Cons

  • Specifically designed for neutral runners; not ideal for overpronation.
  • May not provide sufficient heavy-duty support for very long distances or aggressive trail running.
  • A balance of flexibility and cushioning might not suit runners desiring maximal cushioning or minimal feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Fit

  1. Lacing: Loosen the standard lace-up closure sufficiently before putting on the shoe.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel sits snugly against the back.
  3. Adjust Laces: Begin tightening the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring even tension across the top of your foot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
  4. Knot Securely: Tie a secure knot. The low-profile ankle collar allows for natural movement.

Compatibility

  • Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners who do not require significant motion control or stability features. If you exhibit mild pronation, these might still be suitable, but severe overpronators or supinators should consider shoes with specific support.
  • Activity: Ideal for daily road running, light track work, gym workouts, and general active wear.
  • Surfaces: Performs well on pavement, treadmills, and indoor gym floors.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 running shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
  • Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the cushioning and upper materials.
