Product Information
Full details
This guide is for female adult runners seeking a balanced blend of flexibility and cushioning in their footwear. The Under Armour Turbulence 3 trainers offer exceptional step-in comfort and all-day softness thanks to their plush sockliner and Charged+ midsole. A potential consideration is that the primary traction is focused on the rubber outsole, which may perform differently on varied terrains. Key features include a dual-layer engineered mesh upper, an anti-microbial sockliner, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The UA Turbulence 3 offers good cushioning for daily runs and training. For marathon distances, runners may prefer shoes specifically designed for ultra-long distances with enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and energy return.
What does 'NEUTRAL' mean for a running shoe?
A neutral shoe is designed for runners with a relatively normal arch and foot-strike pattern. It offers a balance of cushioning and flexibility without specific features to correct pronation (inward rolling) or supination (outward rolling).
How do I clean the anti-microbial sockliner?
The sockliner is integrated for comfort and odor control. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it dries thoroughly to maintain its anti-microbial properties.
Can I wear these for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, the balanced cushioning and stable rubber outsole make them suitable for various gym activities and cross-training, though they are primarily optimized for running.
What is the weight of the Under Armour Turbulence 3?
The trainers weigh approximately 8.1 ounces (about 229 grams) for a women's size, making them a mid-weight option for running shoes.
How much recycled content is in the upper?
The upper of the shoe contains at least 35% recycled content, contributing to Under Armour's sustainability initiatives.
What is the lace type?
These trainers feature a standard tie lace type, allowing for a traditional and adjustable fit.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few runs. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Check sock type for adequate cushioning.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The Charged+ midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material feels restrictive
Ensure laces are not overtightened, especially across the midfoot. The engineered mesh is designed to adapt; however, initial wear might feel firm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied to a comfortable, secure fit for optimal support. The standard tie system allows for easy adjustment.
Compatibility: The UA Turbulence 3 is designed for neutral runners, meaning it's best suited for individuals whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronation) or outward (supination). It's compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Brush off dirt and debris from the rubber outsole after use. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Washing Machine: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning and structural integrity.
