Detailed Review
In terms of overall performance, the Under Armour Men's Charged Commit Trainer 4 excels in providing the right balance of cushioning and stability. The Charged Cushioning® midsole not only helps reduce the strain on your joints but also gives you that 'spring' effect needed for explosive movements, such as jumping or sprinting. If you're someone who engages in varied gym activities—from weight lifting to running—this shoe stands out due to its versatile design.
Comfort is another area where these trainers shine. The Deluxe Comfort System sockliner molds perfectly to your foot, providing a custom-fit feel that enhances comfort levels significantly. Additionally, the breathable mesh upper allows for excellent airflow, which is crucial during prolonged workout sessions.
However, do be cautious with sizing, as some users have reported that these shoes can run a bit small. It's advisable to try them on or opt for a size larger if you're unsure. Furthermore, the warning regarding potential chemical exposure should not be overlooked, especially for those highly conscious about safety standards.

User Reviews
I really like these shoes because they are not overly cushioned like running shoes, nor are they really firm like weightlifting shoes. They are a great balance of support and responsiveness. I do a lot of Orangetheory and weightlifting, and they have worked out great
This is my first pair of Under Armour brand shoes and so far, I'm impressed with the quality and find these to be a lightweight and comfortable shoe. I normally wear a men's size 11, but only a size 11.5 was available at time of purchase, so went for it. The 11.5 size worked out well as I think these shoes are a little more narrow than other shoes I own. The 11 may have been too tight but the 11.5 fits nicely. I usually buy shoes that my wife and kids think are ugly but they both approve of this pair, so they pass that test!
I really don’t know what to say, they’re under armor shoes. A good quality and lightweight. One thing I didn’t notice from the pictures at the soles protrude from the bottom of the shoes, a bit out to the edges. It’s kind of hard to describe, but just pay close attention to the pictures and make sure it’s what you want, I like them I think they look fine but just a heads up
You may want to get a half size bigger than your normal because these run a bit tight, but they're great for running or general training.
I have been wearing Under Armour shoes as my primary shoes for about 6 years now and have loved every pair. This is the first pair of Under Armour shoes that I have bought and returned. The material used on these shoes is very stiff and you instantly feel it when you put them on and walk. This may get better as the shoes break in (which I've never needed to break in Under Armour shoes before). Additionally, the design of the shoe causes the material to push on the outside of your foot as you take a step. Every step you take, you can feel the shoe digging into your foot. I wore them for about 10 minutes before my foot was hurting enough where I had to take them off. Very disappointed in these shoes.
These training sneakers really look great and offer a nice amount of cushion, but they are extremely stiff in the upper. This may be by design as they are marketed as "Training" shoes. I am more used to minimalist footwear and running shoes from Asics and New Balance. Most of these shoes have soft knit uppers that offer a lot of flexibility. These uppers are quite rigid and offer a lot of support. I feel like they will be very good for lifting, but I dont do much of that currently. They are also very comfy for walking, which I do quite a bit so I am pleased with them overall.
I love these shoes. They fit the natural shape of my feet really well, and are comfortable even for a full day of walking around. The shoes have a grippy rubber sole that I really like, and seems to be less common these days. The shoes look great and feel even better. They are a little narrow, but it means they hug my feet and prevent hot spots when walking around all day. Really happy with these shoes!
These are really nice shoes. They run a little small, I normally wear and 9-9.5 and the 9.5 of these are a perfect fit / were a little tight before breaking in.
