Stable, Not Squishy
GET STRONG, PAIN-FREE
Soft and squishy shoes make weak feet - over time this causes ankle, knee, and hip pain.
The Ballistic Trainers Triple Arch Support reinforces your arches so you can strengthen your feet.
An 8mm heel-to-toe height is designed to reduce strain and puts you in the best position to generate power while lifting.
LIFT WITH CONFIDENCE
The Custom Heel Counter, Upper Lace Lock, and High Traction Forefoot securely lock your feet in place, creating a stable base to give you confidence under heavy weight.
A Flexible Warp Knit with High Rebound Forefoot supports your full range of motion for unrestricted movement.
ALL DAY COMFORT
So comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing them.
Removable High Density Inserts are custom made to fit the contours of your feet with Triple Arch Support for all day comfort.
The Wide Toe Box reduces friction and lets your toes breathe.
"I am truly shocked..."
"I've had plantar fasciitis for a couple of decades and now
I don't have to use my orthotics. The best sneakers I’ve ever put on my feet. So comfortable!"

BUILT GORUCK TOUGH
Made to GORUCK quality standards with durable, military-grade materials and no compromises.
Wrapped with Ballistic woven fabric, tough enough for anything you throw at it, with a high abrasion Rubber Heel compound that won't wear down.
A tightly woven Engineered Warp Knit provides reinforced strength and flexibility when you need it.
MADE TO LAST
Ballistic Trainers are constructed so you get more mileage over time.
The midfoot rubber is formulated from a rock climbing compound for rope climbs and long term durability.
A precision Force Bonded Adhesive System is 3.57X stronger than industry average, making it a “diamond” engineered shoe.
