![]() ![]() Things I noticed right away were how light the shoes felt on my feet, the roomy toe box, and the stability they made me feel. I had no problems with the shoe at all during this first run. I could feel the softness all over my foot, along with that I could feel the overlay stitching as well. My initial reaction to trying the shoes on was a positive one. Under Armour offers this shoe in one other color, Halo Gray/White. I usually like the flashy bright colors for my running shoes. I received the white and black color which was a nice change of pace for me. There was nothing that stood out to me right away. My first impressions of this shoe were nothing over the top. Under Armour Charged Assert 8 – Toe Closeup Under Armour Charged Assert 8 First Impressions The new technology includes lightweight mesh upper with 3 color digital print that delivers complete breathability, a durable leather overlay, an EVA sockliner, Charged Cushioning, and a solid rubber outsole. The Under Armour Charged Assert 8 is very modern and offers some new technology. You can definitely run a few miles in these shoes and feel comfortable. It will cost you around $70 dollars, it weighs 8.15 oz and has an offset of 10mm. There were many features I liked and overall the shoe was very comfortable. I don’t mean to bash this shoe from the get-go but I would not recommend this shoe for moderate to long distances. ![]() The quality of materials used in this shoe would not shout durability to me. They have already begun to peel on the upper part of the shoe near the outside of my toes. I have tested this pair of shoes out for roughly 60 miles over the course of 3 weeks. The last statement they make is “durability.” In fact, if you’re outside on a windy day, you can feel the wind blow across your toes. It’s a very lightweight shoe with the fabric being very breathable. When they talk about the breathable upper they are correct with that statement. I would definitely do a speed workout in these shoes or take a nice walk in them, but I would never want to do a distance run in them. Of course, you can run in just about any shoe but anything past a mile is not pleasant. I would not categorize this as a running shoe. Since we live in a world where everything is fact checked, I decided to let you know that there are some debatable statements in this claim. “These are running shoes anyone can wear to go faster-with Charged Cushioning to help protect against impact, a breathable upper, and durability.” Also, UA shoes for me ALWAYS RUN A HALF SIZE SMALL! Always get a size up when buying UA shoes, it's not that big a deal, just know that going in.When you go onto Under Armour’s website to read about the shoe this is how they introduce the shoe to you. I just wanted a simple, classic look in ONE STINKING COLOR, that was very comfortable, and I got it. Or you have to get the gaudy NewBalance/Asics style that are very comfortable and look like a unicorn threw up a bowl of lucky charms and they used that for the color scheme. I feel like today, you've either got to spend well over $100/pair for stylish tennis shoes on Nikes or Adidas or ONs but aren't the most functional or break down quickly. ![]() These Assert 8 though, holy smokes! What a difference! Extremely comfortable to walk around in and overall good running and gym shoe. I had two previous pairs of the Assert 6 I think they were called, and as I found them stylish, they weren't great for much else, but they were also the ones sold in department stores and relatively inexpensive I stopped wearing them because comfort wise they really weren't that great for any big body person that actually needed some decent cushion under large frames.
