INSPIRED BY AIRBORNE JUMP BOOTS FOR THE RUGGED INDIVIDUAL
The MACV-1 Travelers are boots inspired by classic airborne jump boots and are ready for you all day at any time. We took the platform of our tried and true MACV-1 and dressed it up with Challenge Leather, different sewing structure on the exterior, and a suede garment leather interior so they can be worn from the office directly to the bar for a beer or out on a ruck. But even though they look fancy, they still have all of the durability you would expect from MACV-1: wide toe box, 13mm ideal rucking offset, and lightweight.
Features
All-Terrain 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.
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.
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.
Rucking Offset The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. A 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.
Lightweight EVA Midsole 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.
Premium Suede Molded Heel Counter Wraps a supportive, injection molded plastic heel counter. This combo stabilizes your heel as the suede leather prevents the kind of friction that causes hotspots and blisters.
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.
Custom Compression Insert Our custom insert uses a dense compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support - throughout the duration of your foot strike.
Molded Toe Cap The molded toe cap ensures that the toe of your boot keeps its shape.
No Break-In Time They're ready when you are, right out of the box.
Rear Finger Loop Added a finger loop to the rear of the boot so you can easily pull your Travelers on and off.
