FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Under Armour Project Rock 6 shoes are primarily designed for training activities such as weightlifting, HIIT, and gym workouts, where stability and support are crucial. While they can handle short bursts of running, they are not optimized for long-distance running.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend referring to the Under Armour size guide, usually found on the product page. It's often best to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. If you're between sizes, consider your typical preference for training shoes – some prefer a snug fit for stability, while others opt for a bit more room.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided in this guide: use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water for cleaning, and air dry.
What kind of workouts are these shoes best for?
These shoes excel in workouts requiring high stability, support, and traction. This includes weightlifting, powerlifting, CrossFit, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), plyometrics, and general gym workouts involving machines and free weights.
What is the primary difference between the Project Rock 6 and a standard running shoe?
The Project Rock 6 is built with a focus on lateral stability, ground contact, and support for heavy loads and dynamic gym movements. Standard running shoes prioritize cushioning, flexibility, and energy return for forward motion over long distances.
How often should I replace my training shoes?
The lifespan of training shoes varies depending on usage intensity and frequency. A general guideline for active users is to consider replacement every 6-12 months, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, a decrease in cushioning, or a loss of support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.
The Project Rock 6 may have a slight break-in period. Wear them during shorter, less intense workouts for the first few sessions to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure laces are properly adjusted.
Slipping or reduced grip on gym surfaces.
Check the outsole for dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Also, inspect the tread for excessive wear; significant wear indicates it might be time for a new pair.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during workouts.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique; sometimes adjusting tightness or trying different lacing patterns can alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing or consulting with a footwear specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Use & Break-In
Upon first wearing your Project Rock 6 shoes, ensure they are laced securely but not overly tight. Allow for a short break-in period during lighter workouts to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. This typically involves a few shorter sessions before tackling your most intense training.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly compatible with various gym surfaces and training modalities, including rubber flooring, gym mats, and concrete. They are ideal for weight training, CrossFit-style workouts, HIIT, and general fitness activities. While they can handle short bursts of cardio, they are not designed for long-distance running or trail running due to their specialized stability features.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Project Rock 6 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
Note: Regular inspection for wear and tear, especially on the outsole and upper, is recommended to determine when replacement might be necessary for optimal performance and safety.
