FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Apparition Tech trainers are designed to fit standard adult sizing. If you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider ordering a half-size up.

Can I use these for marathon running?

While the UA HOVR cushioning is responsive, these are lifestyle-performance trainers and are not specifically engineered for the rigors of long-distance competitive marathon racing.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can swap out the standard laces for any performance or decorative lace that fits the eyelet spacing.

How do I maintain the reflective elements?

Avoid using abrasive brushes directly on the reflective sections to prevent premature peeling or scratching.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

The breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to keep your feet dry and protect the shoe materials.

Is the sockliner removable?

The sockliner is designed for comfort and is generally removable if you need to insert a custom orthotic device.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning responsiveness

Ensure the shoe is not compressed under heavy weight for long periods; allow the HOVR material to decompress fully after activity.

Slippage on smooth surfaces

Check the outsole for debris or dust buildup; clean the rubber surface with a damp brush to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Under Armour Apparition Tech trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

Setup:

  1. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension across the midfoot before first use.
  2. Allow the internal sockliner to adapt to your foot shape during the first few wears for a customized feel.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior mesh and overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the mesh and reflective components.
