Between sizes?
Running shoes should leave about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your feet swell on longer runs, so a shoe that feels just right in the shop can feel tight at mile ten. If you're between sizes, go up half a size for long runs and marathons; for short, fast race shoes, a closer fit is fine.
If your feet are wide, a wide version beats going up a size: a longer shoe adds length where you don't need it, and your foot can slide around.
Frequently asked questions
Should I size up in Under Armour running shoes?
Not usually: go with your normal size. If you're between sizes, or run long distances where your feet swell, half a size up gives your toes more room.
Do Under Armour make wide-fit running shoes?
Not in the models we track. If you need extra room, look at Altra, whose shoes all have a roomy toe box, or the wide versions from Brooks, ASICS and New Balance.
Is Under Armour sizing the same as Nike's?
For length, mostly yes: your usual trainer size should work in both. Nike's race shoes are the exception, as they run small. Width is where they differ: Under Armour is a little roomier than most Nike running shoes.
