Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour SlipSpeed Trainers are versatile unisex athletic shoes designed for athletes who need a seamless transition between high-intensity training and post-workout recovery. Featuring a unique convertible heel, these trainers allow users to switch between a secure performance fit and a relaxed recovery mode instantly; however, users should ensure the correct size selection, as the slip-on mechanics rely heavily on a precise, snug fit to function as intended.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing can compromise the internal components of the convertible heel.

Can I use these for running?

These are primarily designed for training and recovery; while they handle short sprints, they are not intended for long-distance outdoor running.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a tighter performance fit or a looser recovery fit.

Does the convertible heel wear out?

The heel is built with durable materials, but regular maintenance and proper use—folding it only when intended—will extend its longevity.

Are they suitable for wider feet?

The speed lace system provides some flexibility in volume, but the unisex fit is standard; check your usual UK size for best results.

Is the upper waterproof?

No, the breathable monofilament mesh is designed for airflow, not water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Heel does not stay down in recovery mode

Ensure the heel material is fully tucked under the collar and that you are not wearing thick socks that impede the fold.

Laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the speed lace toggles while your foot is inside the shoe to ensure the tension is evenly distributed across the asymmetrical tongue.

Outsole loses traction

Check the outsole for debris trapped in the tread pattern and clean with a soft brush if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design for training and casual wear
  • Easy transitions with the convertible heel
  • Highly breathable mesh construction
  • Responsive cushioning for impact protection
  • Quick-adjust lacing system

Cons

  • Convertible heel requires specific sizing for best fit
  • Not intended for technical long-distance outdoor running
  • Black/Grey color scheme may show dust easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the optimal fit, ensure the speed lace system is adjusted to your foot's volume before you first wear them. To transition the heel, simply guide your thumb into the back of the collar and fold the heel cup downward. For cleaning, wipe the monofilament mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning and the convertible heel mechanism.
