Review on Charged Assert 8 Men's Running Shoe by Under Armour by Kartik Starks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For me it's a better shoe than the slightly more expensive Charged Bandit 3

The only other experience I've had with shoes from the UA line made was a pair of Charged Bandit 3s which I now relate to gym use. Almost every other UA product in my family meets or exceeds expectations, but my first pair of shoes was a bit disappointing. They weren't very comfortable and despite the HeatGear socks, they always seemed to keep my feet warm. During Prime Day, the Charged Assert model appeared at a very good price. I decided to roll the dice as they were cheap enough that I might as well use them for gym use if I didn't like it. Thankfully, this purchase is a different experience. They are more comfortable to wear all day and my feet don't feel too hot. The jury is out for the long run but so far I'm very happy with these shoes for the price paid and how they outperform the slightly more expensive (at the time of purchase) Bandit models.

Pros
  • Solid rubber outsole covers high impact areas for more durability with less weight
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
