Reviews

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."

Perfect fit, no break in needed.

"Great boots, perfect fit true to size right out of the box. Perfect garrison slippers, super comfortable and lightweight"

— Lance S. (5/5)

Amazing

"I received these boots and as soon as I put them on, it was like walking on clouds. Spent 2 days wearing them to my desk job followed by the next week through multiple airports and on my feet all day every day. Not once did I regret choosing these boots."

— Dixie N. (5/5)

They're working as advertised!

"As advertised, they feel broken-in out of the box. I'm enjoying the flexibility and lightweight nature of these boots. So far, so good under load. They seem like they'll serve me well. I just wish they had less drop (heel to toe) maybe closer to 4mm. Anywho, they're great!"

18. 6 miles of comfort

"I bought these specifically for the Norwegian Foot March (min 24lbs for 18. 6mi). I had a 48lb ruck, and I bought them half size too big. . . regardless, they were comfortable mile after mile. Paired with the GoRUCK compression socks, my feet were well cared for and I completed the event with no blisters and no discomfort. These are great!"

— N. C. (5/5)

"I am active duty and just pcs’d to Hawaii where it’s hot and humid and these boots are very breathable and very light! Great boots and I will definitely buy another pair!"

Just Beyond Perfect

"Absolutely Awesome Product, love the feel and comfort of them. Bought them to replace another one and no regrets. Looking forward to testing them out in the field."

— Jose M. (5/5)

"Everything is top notch. Boots are super light and comfortable straight out of the box. The shorts and t-shirt are super comfortable and the basic ruck seems super tough. I can't wait to try it out"

— Robert (5/5)

Perfect fit

"Hello Go Ruck, perfect fit and comfort right out of the box."

— Peter T. (5/5)

Good but not great.

"I'd like the color to be a little darker. It's too bright in my opinion. These boots are also a little hot. If they were ventilated better they'd be perfect."

— Daniel K. (4/5)
