AR670-1 COMPLIANT, OUT-OF-THE-BOX SOPC SPECIALS
We took our classic MACV-1™ rucking boots and deconstructed them to be as lightweight and immediately comfortable as they can be. They're an out-of-the-box "SOPC Special" (SOPC = Special Operations Preparation Course).
FEATURES & SPECS
AR670-1 COMPLIANT US Army Regulation 670-1 compliant boots meet the following criteria:
8-10 inches in height
Cowhide leather material
Plain toe design with no extra protection
Tan or coyote brown in color
Rubber or polyurethane outsole
Outsole color must match the rest of the boot
Sole height less than 2 inches
Upper made from cattle hide (like the rest of the boot), or a leather and non-mesh combination
LIGHTWEIGHT. SUPPORTIVE. PROVEN. MACV-1™ Hi-Speed is built on the same supportive yet lightweight EVA midsole and all-terrain outsole as our original MACV-1™ jungle rucking boots.
STRIPPED DOWN TO THE BARE ESSENTIALS
No toe caps, no heel cups. 25% thinner suede. Super lightweight and packs down to nothing. The most like an athletic shoe that you can possibly make a boot.
LIGHTWEIGHT EVA MIDSOLE
At under 14oz (28 oz/pair for 6"), MACV-1™ is lighter than any footwear of its kind, ever. The relationship between the EVA midsole and the rubber outer sole matters greatly to the performance of the boot - and the combined weight is a major factor in whether you want to wear them or not.
HIGH TRACTION OUTSOLE
Dual compound rubber outsole delivers versatile performance in any environment, including improved traction on wet and muddy terrain. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip while the heel area is formulated for abrasion resistance and increased durability. The outsole also wraps up at the toes for understated protection against aggressive terrain or when doing push-ups.
NO BREAK-IN TIME
They're ready when you are, right out of the box.
WIDE TOE BOX
Generous forefoot area lets your toes breathe. Over time and distance during any activity including rucking or traveling, your feet will swell. This extra space reduces the friction that can occur if your feet rub against the insides of your boot.
IDEAL RUCKING OFFSET
The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. 13mm offset reduces the strain on your achilles (and by proxy your ankle, knees, and hips) and helps to accommodate a natural gait in an unnatural world of asphalt and man-made surfaces.
PROUDLY NOT WATERPROOF
If rain, sweat, streams, gets in a waterproof boot there is nowhere for it to go. Shielding drain holes are better than waterproof. They keep sand and debris out and repel moisture with every step. They expel water with old fashioned technology that just works - with every step, you push the water out the side of the boot.
NO SPACER MESH
Spacer mesh is soft, squishy, and feels comfortable to your hand when you touch it. But it’s a trap, literally. The first time spacer mesh looks at any kind of water, your boots get heavier and they stay that way. So we proudly do not use spacer mesh, end of story.
PREMIUM SUEDE UPPER
Hard wearing suede that only gets better with time and use. Paired with 1000D CORDURA® and 2" nylon webbing for added ankle support - debris and rain stay out and your feet can still breathe.
3MM SPEED LACES
Speed laces are 3mm as opposed to standard 5mm. Debris and mud doesn't collect on the 3mm laces like it does on the 5mm, the 3mm rinse off and dry faster, and they're faster to tie because there's less bulk.
DUAL DENSITY INSERT
Our custom insert uses a dual layered compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support for all 3 of your arches- throughout the duration of your foot strike.
AR670-1 Compliant
Lightweight. Supportive. Proven. - built on MACV-1™ EVA midsole and all-terrain outsole
Stripped down to the bare essentials - no toe caps, no heel cups
Under 14oz per boot - lighter than any footwear of its kind
Care Instructions: Remove insert. Hose them down thoroughly and let air dry (won't take long). Do not use washer/dryer - it's easier this way.

MODERN JUNGLE BOOTS. READY WHEN YOU ARE.
Tested by Special Forces in cities, mountains, jungles and deserts, the world over. Inspired by Vietnam-era Jungle Boots worn by MACV-SOG and other Special Forces units in the 60's. Modernized to today’s all-terrain requirements of traveling, training, rucking - and assaulting.
Lightweight
Lightweight like a running sneaker, tough like an assaulter’s boot. That was our mission and we were religiously committed to it. At under 14oz (28 oz/pair for 6"), MACV-1™ is lighter than any footwear of its kind, ever.
Supportive
All the support you need for your feet so they’re not smoked after being on your feet all day, whatever you’re doing. Support is foundational to MACV-1™ and makes them versatile — great for combat, traveling, and for people who demand a lot of their feet.
Proven
Special Forces grade materials, triple-stitched stress points, a durable EVA midsole and all-terrain outsole that thrives in all kinds of terrain. In Special Forces, adaptability is everything. No matter the terrain or the situation, you want your boots to be as light as possible and you want them to never fail.

Appearance is basic which is
"Appearance is basic which is one of my favorite parts because the boots comfort, feel, & performance in next to none. Day 1 out of the box feels like they’ve been molded to my feet. Lightweight suede without the heavy toe & heal caps are ideal. Decent traction in rain & uneven surfaces. Hands down my go to boots now. Well played GO RUCK!!! Looking forward to picking up some of the shoes so I can use those on the CIV side."
