FAQs

Is the UA Apparition Tech a good running shoe?

While it features performance elements and heritage running details, it is best suited for daily wear and casual training rather than long-distance endurance running.

Does the shoe have good arch support?

The shoe features an upgraded sockliner and a stable midsole that offers standard arch support suitable for most neutral foot types.

Are the shoes waterproof?

The upper is made of breathable two-tone mesh and leather, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles.

Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?

Yes, the provided sockliner can be removed, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotic insoles if needed.

How do I maintain the reflective details?

Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads on the reflective sections to prevent scratching or degradation of the reflective material.

What kind of surfaces are these shoes best for?

The full rubber outsole is designed for standard urban environments, including gym floors, asphalt, and concrete paths.

Troubleshooting

Outer material looks dull after heavy use

Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and wipe the leather overlays with a leather-appropriate conditioner to restore shine.

Insole feels less comfortable over time

Remove the sockliner and wash it by hand with mild detergent, then air dry completely before reinserting.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather areas. For deeper cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the leather or reflective materials.
  • Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near heaters or in direct high heat, as this can cause the sole adhesives to weaken and the material to warp.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam.
