HI-SPEED, LOW-DRAG

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. MACV-1™ Hi-Speed is a fully supportive rucking boot that feels like a sneaker.

Hi-Speed Origins

The SOPC Special

Soldiers going through the Special Operations Preparation Course (SOPC) want their boots to be as lightweight and comfortable as possible. Go to any boot shop around Fort Bragg and ask for the SOPC Special—you'll get a gutted boot without a toe cap or heel counter that's resoled with lightest athletic sole they got. MACV-1™ Hi-Speeds are out-of-the-box SOPC Specials.

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. 25% thinner than MACV-2™ suede for added flexibility.

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.

Custom Compression Insole

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.

MACV-1™ Hi-Speed Explained

Special Forces Roots

Ready When You Are.

The inspiration for the MACV series was the most beloved boot in Army Special Forces history, the Vietnam-era Jungle Boot, worn by MACV-SOG and other Special Forces combat units. In the military, the push is always to sharpen the tip of the spear, and these boots were designed with that same principle in mind.

Modernized to today’s all-terrain requirements of traveling, training, rucking - and assaulting, MACV-1™ is ready when you are.
