Full details

Their key benefit lies in the innovative UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel and responsive UA HOVR™ cushioning, offering both performance and comfort. A potential caveat is that the bungee lace type may require adjustment for a perfectly secure fit for all activities. These trainers feature a multi-layer translucent upper for breathability, an asymmetrical tongue and speed lace system for a quick, personalized fit, and a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the SlipSpeed™ convertible heel?
The SlipSpeed™ convertible heel allows you to easily switch the shoe from a secure training mode to a relaxed recovery mode, offering great versatility and convenience.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The UA HOVR™ cushioning provides good energy return and impact reduction, making them suitable for moderate runs. For very long distances, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support.
How do I adjust the speed lace system?
Pull the bungee laces to tighten the shoe and secure the fit by sliding the toggle upwards. To loosen, slide the toggle downwards.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What type of activities are these trainers best for?
They are ideal for general training, gym workouts, cross-training, and everyday wear, offering a blend of performance and comfort.
What does 'multi-layer translucent upper' mean?
It means the upper part of the shoe is made of several layers of material, with an outer layer that is somewhat see-through, allowing for breathability and a unique aesthetic.
How durable is the rubberized toe cap?
The rubberized toe cap is designed to increase durability and provide protection against abrasion, extending the life of the shoe in high-wear areas.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the bungee laces by pulling them to tighten or releasing pressure on the toggle to loosen. Ensure the toggle is secured to maintain your preferred fit.
Heel counter is difficult to convert
Ensure you are pushing down firmly on the heel tab before folding the heel counter inwards. Practice the conversion a few times to become familiar with the mechanism.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The UA HOVR™ cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few short sessions to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
Traction is poor on a specific surface
While the rubber outsole provides durable traction, performance can vary on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris for optimal grip.
