FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Project Rock 6 is primarily designed for strength training and cross-training, offering stability and support for lifting and dynamic movements. While they can handle short bursts of cardio, they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their construction.
How do I choose the correct size for these shoes?
This specific variant is UK size 7.5. We recommend referring to Under Armour's official sizing chart and considering your typical athletic shoe size. If possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the specific design for training.
What is the primary material used in this shoe?
This specific variant of the Project Rock 6 features a leather upper, providing durability, support, and a classic aesthetic. Other variants in the series may utilize different materials.
Can these be used for outdoor training or only indoors?
Yes, they are durable enough for various training environments, including outdoor training areas with stable surfaces. However, avoid excessively rough or wet terrain for prolonged periods to preserve the shoe's condition.
How often should I clean my Project Rock 6 shoes?
Clean as needed, especially after intense workouts or exposure to dirt. Regular wiping of the leather and airing out insoles will help maintain their condition, prevent odor, and extend their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose during wear
Adjust lacing pattern; ensure you've selected the correct UK size 7.5. Consider trying on different sizes if fit issues persist, as individual foot shapes vary.
Slipping during workouts, particularly on gym floors
Check outsole for wear or debris. Ensure laces are securely tied for optimal foot lockdown, which can improve stability and grip. Clean soles if dirt buildup is observed.
Unpleasant odor develops in the shoes
Remove insoles after each workout to air dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage to prevent bacterial growth.
Leather looks dull or dirty after use
Gently clean leather surfaces with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner or soap. Condition leather periodically with a suitable product, if recommended, for long-term suppleness and appearance.
