FAQs

How do I get the best fit with the speed lace system?

Loosen the laces completely before putting your foot in. Then, pull the lace ends evenly to tighten the shoe. You can adjust the tension throughout the day as needed for optimal comfort and support.

What is the UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel for?

The SlipSpeed™ heel is designed to be flattened or folded forward, making it easier to slip the shoe on and off quickly. This feature allows for a transition from a secure training mode to a more relaxed recovery mode.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

These trainers are versatile for many activities, including running, training, and general athletic play, thanks to their cushioning and durable outsole. For highly specialized sports requiring specific ankle support or cleated designs, other footwear might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the translucent mesh upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Gently wipe the surface and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, with features like the easy on-and-off heel and speed lacing tailored for younger users.

Can the speed laces be replaced if they break?

While designed for durability, if the speed laces do fail, they can typically be replaced. You may need to contact Under Armour customer service or a specialty shoe repair shop for assistance with replacement parts and installation.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty adjusting speed lace system

Ensure the laces are not tangled. Try loosening the system fully and re-tightening gradually. If the lock mechanism feels stiff, a gentle pull while adjusting might help.

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Experiment with the speed lace system to find the optimal tension. The bootie design aims for a snug fit; if it feels restrictive, ensure the laces are adequately loosened before putting the shoe on.

Convertible heel gets stuck

Gently flex the heel counter back and forth. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Avoid forcing the heel; it should transition smoothly with moderate pressure.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Note that rubber outsoles may have reduced traction on extremely slick or wet surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply adjust the speed lace system for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The Under Armour Nova SlipSpeed Trainers are designed for unisex use by children and are suitable for a wide range of athletic and casual activities. They are best suited for standard to slightly narrow foot widths due to the bootie construction.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the translucent mesh and synthetic materials. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber parts with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: The speed lace system typically does not require removal for cleaning, but if needed, consult the product's specific guidance for care.
