FAQs

What kind of activities are these shoes best suited for?

The Under Armour Project Rock 6 training shoes are best suited for gym training, weightlifting, cross-training, and various functional fitness activities due to their stable flat heel and durable construction.

Are these shoes good for running?

While they can handle short bursts of cardio, the flat heel design prioritizes stability for lifting over cushioning for long-distance running. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes would be more appropriate.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes are listed in UK adult sizes. It's generally recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit with adequate toe room and heel lockdown.

Can I use these shoes for outdoor workouts?

Yes, their durable construction makes them suitable for many outdoor training environments, provided the surface is not overly abrasive or requires specialized outdoor footwear.

How should I clean the 'Black Gum' sole?

Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to scrub the sole. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Is the heel truly flat, or does it have a slight drop?

The Project Rock 6 features a flat heel, meaning it has a minimal to no heel-to-toe drop, which is optimal for stability and promoting a natural foot position during heavy lifts.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Adjust the lacing. Try loosening the laces in the midfoot area while keeping the ankle secure. Experiment with different lacing patterns or consider wearing thinner socks.

My feet are slipping inside the shoes during workouts.

Ensure the shoes are laced tightly enough for the activity. Check your sock type; some materials can cause more friction than others. If the issue persists, try a different lacing pattern that provides more lockdown.

The shoes feel heavy or bulky for certain movements.

The Project Rock 6 is designed for stability and durability in training, which can contribute to a more substantial feel. This is intentional for support during lifts. For highly agile or speed-focused activities, they might feel less nimble than specialized minimalist shoes.

There's an unpleasant odor coming from my shoes.

Regularly remove and air out the insoles after each workout. Clean the inside of the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider using anti-odor sprays or placing baking soda packets inside when storing them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and customizable fit for various foot shapes, provided by the lacing system.
  • Enhanced stability and ground contact from the flat heel, ideal for weightlifting.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand intense and frequent training sessions.
  • Versatile performance for a wide range of gym and training activities.
  • Stylish 'Black Gum' aesthetic that blends well with most workout attire.

Cons

  • The flat heel may offer less cushioning for prolonged running or high-impact cardio.
  • Primarily designed for training, making it potentially less comfortable for extended casual wear.
  • Info needed: Specific weight information is not available, but training shoes can sometimes be heavier than specialized running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Project Rock 6 shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Fit: Ensure your heel is comfortably seated in the back of the shoe and your toes have a small amount of space at the front.
  3. Tighten: Systematically tighten the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across your instep. Secure with a double knot for intense workouts.

Compatibility

These training shoes are designed for adult males for general training and gym activities. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic apparel and can be used for most indoor and outdoor non-specialized training sessions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Project Rock 6 shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For tougher stains, use a mild soap (like laundry detergent) mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the exterior thoroughly.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to prevent odors.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
