Under Armour HOVR Phantom 3 Storm - Black - Grey - Low Shoes - UK 6

The HOVR Phantom 3 Storm are designed for general training and everyday wear. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically engineered for the high-impact demands of marathon running. For such activities, a dedicated running shoe would be more appropriate.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel snug without slipping, and there should be enough room in the forefoot to wiggle your toes comfortably.

No, machine washing is not recommended. This can damage the leather, the HOVR cushioning, and the Storm repellent technology. Hand-clean with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.

The 'Storm' designation indicates that these shoes feature Under Armour's Storm technology, which provides enhanced water repellency to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. The standard HOVR Phantom 3 may not have this specific water-repellent treatment.

The water-repellent features make them suitable for damp winter conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider adding thicker socks or a shoe with specific winter insulation.

With proper care and regular use for their intended purpose, the shoes should provide durable performance for a considerable time. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and adherence to care instructions.

Ensure the shoe's exterior is clean. Over time, dirt and debris can compromise the Storm technology. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear if necessary, following product instructions.

While designed for non-slip properties, extremely smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free from debris. For persistent issues, consider the specific surface conditions.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth to restore moisture and flexibility. Gently buff the surface after application.
