UA TriBase™
MORE FLEX. MORE GRIP. MORE GAINS.
Never underestimate the power of a good pair of gym and training shoes. Whether you’re a runner, a lifter or an all-rounder, a good pair of training shoes that are designed to maintain balance, support heavy loads and provide insane grip is every athlete's dream. Going back to physics class, we know for every downward force, there must be an equal upward force. Without a base of support and close ground contact, our heel and midfoot can’t drive into the floor and create that sense of equilibrium. Our solution? UA TriBase™.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor training rituals, the collection of UA TriBase™ gym shoes double down on grip and balance, offering a 3-point touch system to enhance your flow and technique. And it’s continually evolving. With more floor contact than ever, intricate details in the sole and dynamic designs, our UA TriBase™ training shoes for men and women help you push the competition until there is only one remaining. You.

BEHIND THE NAME
Our UA TriBase™ training shoes are one-of-a-kind – totally changing the game for athletes who prefer a flexible feel underfoot that’s no less reliable.
Functional fitness encompasses lifting, jumping, and lateral movements. This means most athletes need stability AND flexibility. To get that combination, we started at the bottom. Testing different traction patterns, we optimised the natural motion of the forefoot, midfoot, and heel. And, as for ground control—we maximised it with the lowest heel-to-toe drop in the market: 2mm.
After releasing the first UA TriBase™ Reign, we knew we’d created something that made focused performers better. But why stop there?
We took all the feedback we heard and kept pushing. Evolving the UA TriBase™ Reign 2, 3 & 4 to have a wider midfoot, more arch support, a larger heel counter, and a lighter, tighter fit. Adjusting the details to give our athletes the edge they need to be greater.

CAN YOU USE UNDER ARMOUR TriBase™ FOR WALKING?
While the Under Armour TriBase™ training shoes are a must-have for high-intensity gym sessions, they are not as supportive when completing lengthy cardio sessions. For walking or running, look to training shoes with more cushion in the midsole to help support your feet, ankles and legs, like the Under Armour HOVR™ shoes that returns energy into your stride to propel you forward.

CAN RUNNING SHOES BE USED FOR TRAINING?
While many running shoes are compatible for training sessions, it’s best to invest in shoes like the UA TriBase™ as they are specifically designed for taking heavy loads and spreading the weight evenly across your feet, adding extra balance, stabilisation and strength.
Running shoes usually contain high amounts of foam cushioning which causes the shoes to cup your foot in a particular way that's best suited for running, rather than allow your feet to move naturally. Lifting heavy while wearing running shoes can cause disproportionate weight loads and result in muscle differences across your body and especially your legs.
If you’re not sure about flat training shoes, try training barefoot (or with socks on). This will allow your feet to adjust to the weight load and you’ll get a better understanding of the benefits of UA TriBase™ tech.

WHICH SHOES ARE BEST FOR GYM TRAINING?
The best way to choose training shoes is to choose shoes based on the type of training you enjoy and complete at the gym. Do you primarily complete lifts and weight-dominant exercises? Do you stick just to cardio? Or do you integrate a combination of both on a regular basis?
Each type of training style will require a slightly different shoe:

The best way to choose training shoes is to choose shoes based on the type of training you enjoy and complete at the gym. Do you primarily complete lifts and weight-dominant exercises? Do you stick just to cardio? Or do you integrate a combination of both on a regular basis?
Each type of training style will require a slightly different shoe:
Weightlifting or weight dominant exercises
Exercises that integrate weights, weightlifting and machines are better suited to a gym or training shoe that is flat and sturdy, like the UA Tribase™ Reign 4. The 3-point base system evenly distributes the load, allowing your feet and legs to receive an even proportion and can help to reduce injury in the long run. The lower cut around the ankle delivers even more mobility for squats and lifts, while the flat but flexible base provides stability and grip, essential to prevent slipping or shifting during sudden movements, like a clean and snatch.
Cardio training
If you’re training for a specific cardio-intensive event, like a marathon or race, shoes with proper cushioning are essential to protecting your joints and muscles. The Under Armour HOVR™ shoes are a great example of highly supportive, cushioned running shoes. The energy put into the shoes is then repelled back into the runner, allowing you to go faster for longer, improving your endurance and fitness over time.
Functional training
For athletes who prefer functional training, like Crossfit, F45 or just starting their fitness journey, a training shoe that has both a flatter base for support and enough cushion for explosive movements is a must. The collection of UA Charged training shoes for men and women is a great option. Designed for both beginners and intermediate trainers, UA Charged shoes offer stabilisation across the foot and more flexibility to support your joints during functional movements and bodyweight exercise.
