FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Ascend trainers are primarily designed for general training, walking, and gym use. While they provide good support, they may not offer the specific biomechanical support required for long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These trainers are true to standard adult sizing. It is recommended to have about half an inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during activity.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these trainers in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the mesh and the adhesive used in the soles.
What is the benefit of the Charged+ midsole?
The Charged+ technology is engineered to be soft enough for comfort but firm enough to provide energy return and support during movement, helping to reduce foot fatigue.
Does the anti-microbial sockliner wear off?
While effective, the longevity of the anti-microbial properties depends on frequency of use and proper care. Always allow the shoes to air out after use to maintain freshness.
Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff after initial wear
The mesh and overlays will naturally soften with movement. Try wearing them for short walks over several days to accelerate the break-in process.
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a stiff-bristled plastic brush to remove rocks or trapped dirt from the rubber outsole grooves to maintain maximum traction.
Pros and Cons

- Plush interior padding for immediate comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Under Armour Ascend trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they offer great step-in comfort, wearing them for shorter periods during the first two days will allow the materials to adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Care Instructions: Never submerge the shoes in water. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the mesh and overlays. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: These are standard fit women's trainers and work well with most standard athletic socks. If you use custom orthotics, the plush sockliner may be removable to accommodate your insert.
