The Charged Assert 7 is a good running shoe. But if you want a better version of it, then consider the Charged Assert 8: 

  • The Under armour MicroThread-Technologie Speed Stride Womens Tank Assert 8 is more energetic, thanks to its Charged cushioning. 
  • It's more breathable because of its updated upper design.

They even say that they can wear it all day. 

Won't weigh you down

Although it's 9.9 oz (US M 9) on paper, runners claim that it doesn't reflect on the run. The Charged Assert 8, according to them, is so "light," they can run extended sessions.

According to testers, the UA Charged Assert's eighth version eats up all the impact.

You won't lose your footing

Durability is the UA Charged Assert 8's weakness. After a couple of miles, the midsole is already bottoming out, and the upper is ripping open.

Is it stable? Nah.

Because it lacks arch support, several have noticed their strides being "wobbly," and their feet "sinking in." 

The upper is not exactly comfortable

It's "scratchy." Many experts find it "irritating." There are even reviewers claiming that their toes got hurt because of this.
