Under Armour Infinite Pro review

In our opinion, the Under Armour Infinite Pro is interesting for runners that:

• Want a reasonably priced running shoe with a comfortable knit upper.
• Prefer to stay within Under Armour’s lineup and need a shoe for everyday use plus daily runs.
• Heel strikers looking for a dependable, stable daily trainer.

We think the Under Armour Infinite Pro is not the best choice for runners prioritising lightweight daily trainers. We found it heavy both on the run and on the scale—especially when shoes like the Adidas Adizero EVO SL or PUMA Velocity Nitro 4 offer a far lighter build (and better energy return) at a similar price.

Additionally, we believe the shoe’s low forefoot shock absorption doesn’t match its towering stack height. In our experience, this feels underwhelming and limits long-distance comfort for heel strikers or heavier runners. If high cushioning in the heel area is key for you, we recommend looking at the ASICS Novablast 5 instead.

The Infinite Pro shows slightly less shock absorption than average in the heel at 123 SA, but more in the forefoot at 116 SA. These are solid results for a daily trainer, making it especially appealing for forefoot strikers.

As in our previous test, the forefoot outperformed the heel. We measured 58.7% energy return in the forefoot compared to 53.3% in the rearfoot.

These figures match the shoe’s price point, though we expected more given the presence of HOVR+, even if it’s not used throughout the entire midsole.

The Infinite Pro showcases a maximalist build that we verified with our callipers at 41.3 mm. In fact, it stands out as one of the most affordable ways to step into the over-40 mm category.

However, our lab results showed that shock absorption in the heel was far from impressive despite the towering stack height. This proves how critical the foam itself is and why proper testing matters. At first glance, the huge midsole suggests top-tier cushioning—but that's not the case here.

The forefoot is equally maximalist at 33.0 mm, making it a perfect choice for runners who prefer not to feel the ground at all while running.

Under Armour states this shoe has an 8 mm drop, and we measured 8.3 mm. It’s rare to see such a small difference, so credit to the brand for accuracy.

This drop is no surprise, as daily trainers usually range from 8 to 10 mm. In fact, we believe that 8 mm is the most universal option, working well for nearly every footstrike.

The Under Armour Infinite Pro comes with an intriguing midsole, since it’s uncommon for a shoe at this price point to include two foams.

Here, the primary layer is UA’s familiar HOVR+ foam, measuring 18.8 HA, which delivers a balanced feel underfoot. Positioned closer to the foot, it’s the layer with the most presence and overall impact on the ride.

The secondary layer beneath HOVR+ is a thinner slab of EVA foam.

At 27.4 HA, it’s noticeably firmer, adding stability and durability, though it flattens the ride and leaves us wondering how much better the shoe might have felt with HOVR+ alone... a real Pegasus killer!

The rocker of the Under Armour Infinite Pro is very mild, giving the shoe a classic ride rather than an aggressive rolling feel. It delivers a more traditional transition that feels natural and predictable.

This mild rocker also works well for those using the shoe for some gym training, regular wear, or even simple daily walks.

Our first measurement came in at 93.6 mm, slightly below average but only by a small margin, and very much in line with what we see in many daily trainers on the market.

It’s also worth noting that this shoe uses a knit upper rather than mesh, which naturally provides more stretch and helps the fit feel a little less restrictive.

The same design cues we noticed earlier show up here as well. Our callipers measured 72.4 mm, almost identical to the current lab average.

You can expect a toebox fit similar to most shoes—unless you’re used to Altra or Topo.

But potential issues may arise with vertical space.

At 23.7 mm, this measurement suggests the shoe is best for runners who enjoy a snug, glove-like fit, but it won’t satisfy those who prefer extra room for toe movement.

In our lab test, the outsole of the Infinite Pro showed solid traction. Scoring 0.48, it offered dependable grip on both dry and wet surfaces, making it a practical option for runners who often train in changing weather.

The outsole of the Under Armour Infinite Pro combines exposed foam with rubber patches placed in high-wear zones, clearly aiming to save some weight. The heel shows a herringbone layout with seven circular cutouts integrated into the design.

In the forefoot, the rubber patches also include circular cutouts, this time with a more noticeable variety of sizes for a distinct layout.

The maximalist midsole of the Infinite Pro comes with a trade-off: increased stiffness.

At 20.5N, it’s even higher than the carbon-plated supershoe Under Armour Velociti Elite 2, which is already considered very stiff.

This shoe has a few factors that could hold back a purchase, and one of them is its weight.

At 10.75 oz or 305g on our scale, there’s no way around it: this isn’t a competitive number in today’s market, even at the price of the Infinite Pro.

Congrats to Under Armour here, because creating a knit upper with strong ventilation is no easy task, and they pulled it off.

We tested it with our smoke-pumping machine using a custom 3D-printed piece to measure airflow in the toebox, where it matters most, and it scored a solid 4 out of 5 on our scale.

A quick way to see the design is by moving the upper over a light. It’s clear UA prioritised airflow in the forefoot and midfoot, while keeping the heel more structured for support—a layout often seen in daily trainers.

Under the microscope, we confirmed this is one of the Infinite Pro’s standout features. Few shoes at this price point deliver such a comfortable knit upper.

By manually reviewing the build, we also found the forefoot to be very thin, while the heel and tongue feel extra comfortable with generous padding.

The Infinite Pro is a neutral shoe, yet it stands out as one of the most stable daily trainers available today, especially for heel strikers. This stability comes from the moderately firm foam, wide heel platform, and high stiffness.

This shoe behaves almost as if it had a carbon-fibre plate inside. We measured extremely high longitudinal stiffness before, and the torsional rigidity is equally impressive. It fully earned our maximum score of 5/5.

The heel counter is also quite firm, adding significantly to the super-stable feel of the rearfoot that the Infinite Pro delivers with every stride.

Despite its high forefoot stack height, this shoe doesn’t expand much in width, measuring only 113.3 mm in this area. However, the moderately firm foam helps offset the limited platform, providing a decent level of stability in this area.

In our view, it’s clear that Under Armour designed this shoe with heel strikers in mind. The 97.8 mm width we measured in the heel stands out noticeably when compared to the narrower forefoot.

One common drawback of knit-based uppers is durability. While the material feels soft and comfortable against the foot, it’s more vulnerable to abrasion. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what we observed with the Infinite Pro, as it scored only 2 out of 5.

We saw the same outcome in the heel area, which is even more concerning since shoes usually score higher here. A 2/5 rating clearly shows there’s plenty of room for improvement.

We tested the outsole’s durability and found it to be good, with 1.0 mm of wear.

The Under Armour Infinite Pro doesn’t offer extensive outsole coverage, but UA compensated with thicker-than-usual rubber pods. We measured them at 4.0 mm, which boosts durability but also brings two downsides: a firmer underfoot feel and extra weight.

We’re not convinced this was the best approach, as 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm might have provided a better balance.

The insole measures 4.5 mm in thickness, which is right in line with what we typically find in most daily trainers.

The stock insole has a slight flare in the heel area, but we don’t see any problem with swapping it for another option.

The HOVR+ foam handled our freezer test impressively, becoming only 17% firmer after 20 minutes.

The Infinite Pro lacks reflective elements entirely across its upper.

The Infinite Pro uses a standard lacing system with flat laces and reinforced eyelets, allowing easy adjustment for a secure fit. A central lace loop helps stabilise the tongue during runs.

The tongue of the Infinite Pro is all about comfort. We found a thick, pillow-like tongue with 9.1 mm that delivers impressive relief to any pressure feeling, but as a trade-off it also adds some weight. We also appreciated that the tongue features extensive ventilation.

The tongue isn’t attached to the sides, which makes sense at this price point. Still, it feels like a missed chance to attract more value-focused runners.

The Infinite Pro is fairly priced. Runners who don’t prioritize a performance-driven ride but appreciate versatility and stability may find that these qualities make the shoe worth its cost.

The Infinite Pro includes a pull tab that feels unusual because it sits lower than most designs. While functional for slipping the shoe on, its placement is probably a bit less practical.
