FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Charged Pursuit 4 offers good cushioning and responsiveness, making them suitable for training runs up to marathon distance. For competitive marathon racing, runners might prefer shoes with more specialized features for speed and long-distance efficiency.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.
What does the 8mm offset mean?
The 8mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a common offset for many running shoes and typically suits runners with a neutral foot strike.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made of rubber and features a durable pattern specifically designed for flex and traction, intended to last for many miles of running.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes feature a deluxe foam sockliner that molds to your foot for added underfoot comfort. While they provide good cushioning, they are designed for neutral runners and may not offer specialized arch support for conditions like flat feet.
What is the benefit of the Charged Cushioning® midsole?
The Charged Cushioning® midsole uses compression-molded foam to provide a responsive feel and durable cushioning, helping to absorb impact and return energy with each step.
What is the percentage of recycled content in the upper?
The upper of the shoe contains at least 30% recycled content, contributing to Under Armour's sustainability initiatives.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them with a looser fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consider if thicker socks are being used.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The midsole foam may take a few runs to break in. If the issue persists after significant use, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal performance.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The durable outsole pattern is designed for traction, but performance can be affected by wet or slippery surfaces.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the ankle collar is properly aligned and laced correctly. The foam padding should provide comfort; check for any foreign objects inside the shoe.
