FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?

The Ascend AL shoes are designed for general running and athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning and responsiveness for casual use, they may not provide the specialized support and features required for elite or competitive running.

How do I clean the shoes?

Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap for surface dirt. For a more thorough clean, use a damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the main benefit of the stretch bungee laces?

The primary benefit is ease of use, allowing children to slip the shoes on and off quickly and independently without the need for traditional tying.

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These shoes are designed for kids, specifically marketed towards a male gender audience within the youth sizing range.

Can these shoes be used for sports other than running?

Yes, the durable outsole and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for various general athletic activities, school sports, and everyday wear.

What material is the midsole made of?

The midsole is made of a one-piece EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) material, known for its cushioning and energy return properties.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and are not intended for use in wet conditions where waterproofing is necessary.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the position of the foot within the shoe. While the bungee laces offer some adjustability, they do not allow for traditional tightening. Ensure the correct size is selected. If consistently an issue, consider a different lacing system shoe.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear before extended use. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Outsole showing signs of wear

This is normal with regular use. For light wear, continue using. For significant damage, consider replacement.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Under Armour Ascend AL shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material degradation.
