FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for general fitness and daily activity. While suitable for light jogging or treadmill use, they are not intended for long-distance marathon running.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
The Ascend series runs true to standard sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the sockliner?
Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the primary function of the Charged+ midsole?
The Charged+ technology is engineered to absorb impact and convert it into responsive cushioning for increased comfort during movement.
Is the upper waterproof?
The upper is made of breathable mesh, which is excellent for ventilation but is not waterproof.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, performance trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on the terrain and your activity level.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are snug against the midfoot overlays and consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.
Slight odor developing after heavy use
Remove the sockliner and air it out separately; if needed, use a specialized shoe deodorizing spray safe for synthetic fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Under Armour Ascend trainers maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they provide a plush step-in feel immediately, allow a few hours of wear for the footbed to contour to your specific arch profile.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesive and cushioning materials.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole from becoming brittle or discolored.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally. Do not place them on radiators or use high-heat dryers, as this will damage the technical materials.
