THE GORUCK SPEARHEAD
“The GORUCK Tough patch is not for sale. It takes inspiration from the First Special Service Force’s spearhead, and the only way to earn it is to pass the GORUCK Challenge.
The Force was a joint Canadian-American commando unit formed in 1942. ‘The name ‘First Special Service Force’ was selected to cover an assault force whose handful of men would carry considerable automatic-fire power. It sounded innocent enough…’ However, the Force earned the nickname Devil’s Brigade for its devastation of Axis powers in WWII. Though its history is a short one, modern day Canadian and American special operations trace their heritage to this unit.”
- Jason McCarthy, 10th Special Forces Group, 2006-08
Barbells. Sandbags. Sprinting. Rucking. Up-down-left-right-lift-toss … rinse and repeat.
To push past your limits in garages and driveways and in fields and on asphalt the world over — you need a stable platform, and you need more support from your fitness & weight training shoes.
When you run, you need support. When you lift, you need support. When you flex, you need support.

the ballistic breakdown
it's science.
To build the Ballistic Trainers™, we took everything that works (and nothing that doesn't) about existing functional fitness shoes and combined it with proven science of proper under foot support.
UPPER // Dual Material Construction (1) Breathable + Flexible Knit (2) Tough Ballistic Nylon
Seamless, one-piece engineered warp knit covers the entire forefoot giving you plenty of breathability and flexibility without cramping your toes. The lace area, midfoot and heel is built from two panels of Special Forces grade Ballistic nylon offering ballistic protection with additional structure and stability in the midfoot and heel.
Flexible + cushioned forefoot
The forefoot area is resilient and flexible, providing excellent cushioning and rebound from strike to recovery when running, jumping or performing other explosive movements.
firm + stable heel
The firm heel keeps you grounded on a stable platform when lifting or squatting and the 8mm lift maintains your center of gravity for a versatile mechanical advantage.
Grippy, high-traction forefoot
The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip in any environment — wet and dry, inside or out.
hardened midfoot for rope climbs
The midfoot rubber is formulated from a rock climbing compound for the best abrasion resistance and long term durability — ideal for rope climbs.
dense, durable heel for pavement pounding
The rubber in the heel is dense, tough and won't wear down after miles of running or rucking.
