FAQs
What does 'neutral' mean for these trainers?
Neutral refers to the shoe's support type. It means the trainers are designed for runners whose feet land evenly and don't excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their stride. They provide balanced cushioning and flexibility.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, for neutral runners, the Charged Cushioning midsole offers a responsive and durable platform that can comfortably support long-distance runs, providing a good balance of impact absorption and energy return.
How should I clean my Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 Trainers?
Gently clean the mesh upper and outsole with a soft brush or cloth, using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and never machine wash or machine dry them, as this can damage the materials and structural integrity. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts or other sports?
Absolutely. The balanced cushioning, secure fit, and durable outsole provide versatility, making them an excellent choice for gym workouts, cross-training, and general athletic activities in addition to running.
What is 'Charged Cushioning'?
Charged Cushioning is Under Armour's proprietary midsole technology. It uses a compression molded foam that is engineered to be both responsive and durable, providing excellent shock absorption upon impact and delivering a springy feel for energy return with each step.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 km), or approximately every 4-6 months with regular use. You'll notice signs like diminished cushioning, worn outsoles, or new aches and pains as indicators for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing technique; try loosening the laces, especially in the forefoot area. Break them in gradually over a few wears.
Foot odor is present after wearing.
Allow your trainers to air out thoroughly between uses. Consider using athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials and shoe deodorizers or inserts. Ensure shoes are completely dry after any exposure to moisture.
Cushioning feels less responsive or 'flat'.
Running shoe cushioning naturally breaks down over time. This is often an indication that the shoes are nearing the end of their useful life (typically 300-500 miles, or 480-800 km, for running shoes). Consider replacing them.
Lack of sufficient grip on certain surfaces.
The durable outsole pattern is designed for flex and traction on common running surfaces. For very wet, icy, or highly technical trail conditions, specialized footwear with more aggressive tread might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Under Armour Charged Pursuit 3 Trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Utilize the standard tie laces to secure your foot comfortably. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for proper blood circulation and prevent pressure points.
- Initial Fit: Wear them with your usual athletic socks. Walk around to feel the plush padding and how the sockliner molds to your foot. This initial wear helps the shoe adapt to your unique foot shape.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: These trainers are designed for neutral runners who need a balance of flexibility and cushioning without specialized stability features.
- Activity: Ideal for road running, treadmill workouts, gym training, and general athletic activities. Their comfort and traction also make them suitable for everyday casual wear.
- Foot Type: Best for individuals with normal arches or those who do not experience significant overpronation or supination.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the mesh upper and sole with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.
