Our Verdict

Under Armour Charged+ Assert 11

adidas Questar 4

The adidas Questar 4 is a better running shoe than the Under Armour Charged+ Assert 11. The adidas has better stability and significantly better cushioning, so it protects your legs more effectively and handles longer runs much better. Both are similarly heavy, but the adidas is the better option if running makes up a meaningful part of your routine, and it's also cheaper at full retail. Only get the Under Armour if you like the look better and mainly want it for walking or gym work with occasional short runs.
