Under Armour HOVR Ridge Trek Trail Running Shoes

These are the ultimate, ultra-cushioned trail runners. The UA HOVR under foot feels soft but also returns energy, the Vibram outsole grips even the most treacherous terrain, and the super-durable materials handle the harshest conditions.

Lightweight Mesh Upper

The upper of the HOVR Ridge Trek is made from a dynamic, reinforced mesh for durability and breathability. Micro-perforations allow built-up heat and vapour to escape, whilst encouraging fresh air to flow in for a pleasant cooling sensation. The lightweight upper is optimised for stretch and pliability with 3D print overlays for enhanced protection and structure. The mid-cut design hugs the foot to provide added ankle coverage and support while front and back pull loops make putting them on and taking them off easier. A traditional lacing system helps anchor the shoe to the foot, giving greater stability, security and control.

UA HOVR Midsole

UA HOVR technology resides in the midsole to supply a zero-gravity feel. The wax-based foam, which is incredibly strong and resilient, holds a super-soft durometer that offers incredible shock attenuation for every single foot strike. This cushy construction needs to be contained to serve its purpose, so Under Armour wraps it in a compression mesh Energy Web. The Energy Web contains and moulds to the cushioning core to deliver strong responsiveness and energy return. UA's winning combination of advantages yields a ride that allows runners to perform better with less fatigue. The soft centre helps to spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, and its mesh web encasement increases responsiveness, reducing your use of superfluous muscle power to keep your legs feeling fresh for the trail ahead.

Vibram Outsole

Complete control is guaranteed with the Vibram outsole, which will anchor your feet in position for supreme grip. The rubber is able to cling to wet and dry surfaces, which will mean that you won't be slipping or sliding around on the trails. It will also make you feel confident that there are no boundaries when you are off-road. The rubber is extremely tough on the surface, and it will protect itself from any damage, as it is abrasion-resistant. This will improve the lifespan and long-term functionality of the shoes. The shoes have deep lugs which will again provide you with complete control by anchoring your feet to the ground. This is especially useful when running on wet ground, as the lugs will dig into the surface, providing an extremely solid base to push on from, as well as helping to control landings and changes of direction.
