The Under Armour Assert 10 AC is a practical and comfortable running shoe designed specifically for active kids. It prioritizes ease of use with its hook & loop strap, combined with a lightweight and supportive structure for everyday play and light athletic activities. While excellent for general wear, ensuring the correct size for growing feet is crucial for optimal comfort and performance.

The Under Armour Assert 10 AC is built for the energetic lifestyle of children. Its lightweight and breathable mesh upper means kids can run, jump, and play for extended periods without overheating or discomfort. The synthetic overlays aren't just for looks; they provide essential support during quick movements and add durability where kids need it most, like around the toes and sides, protecting against scuffs.
The one-piece EVA midsole is a standout feature for active play. It acts as a shock absorber, cushioning landings from jumps or runs on hard surfaces, and then helps convert that absorbed energy into a responsive, 'bouncy' feel for their next step or takeoff. This is perfect for playground activities, school sports, or simply running around the garden. The EVA sockliner ensures that from the very first step, the shoe feels soft and comfortable against their foot, reducing fatigue.
For parents and kids alike, the hook & loop strap combined with standard laces offers a versatile and secure fit. Kids can easily adjust the strap for a snug feel, fostering independence, while the laces provide traditional security. The lightweight, durable outsole is designed to grip various surfaces, giving kids confidence in their footing whether they're on pavement, grass, or gym floors.
Loosen Laces: Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently to allow the foot to slide in easily.
Open Strap: Undo the hook & loop strap completely.
Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, making sure the heel is seated properly.
Tighten Laces: Adjust the standard laces evenly for a snug, comfortable fit across the top of the foot. Double-knot if desired.
Secure Strap: Fasten the hook & loop strap over the laces, ensuring it's firm but not too tight, providing extra security.
These shoes are designed for kids (specifically boys, indicated by 'gender':'Male' in the original product info, though many styles are unisex in practice) and are suitable for a wide range of activities including:
Daily wear and school activities
Running and light athletic training
Playground use and recreational sports
General outdoor activities
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Under Armour Assert 10 AC shoes:
Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
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.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Strap Maintenance: Keep the hook & loop strap free of lint, dirt, and debris to ensure it maintains its strong grip.
