Reviews

Great boots

"I love these boots. The first pair was too small. Requested return & replacement. Got my replacements in days. Amazing. Barely broke them in before I took them out on a 10m ruck. Got soaked at the start. No problem. No blisters. No hotspots. No pain. Just great boots for hiking with weight on man-made surface."

— Gayle M. (5/5)

Great feel, good weight, nice boots!

"I just recently got these Macv traveler in Coyote. I've gone on a couple of Rucks and today I'm hitting the trail after some significant rain to see how they do. So far I LOVE them. It'd be really nice to see them available in Ranger green, hint hint. . . ."

— Joshua (4/5)

Very comfy

"Rightly described as the most comfortable boot. The suede and outsole make it feel more like a sneaker than a boot. I’m planning to use them as backpacking shoes. So far they’ve been great to use on rucks. They pack up super tight. Time will tell on durability but based on my other GoRuck shoes these should go the distance."

— Jacob F. (5/5)

First pair. Wear daily as

"First pair. Wear daily as work boots best pair work boot I own. Have bad knees, chronic back pain. Able to work eight to ten hour days painting, and light construction without increased discomfort. Boots are light, and enjoy heel cushion."

My new favorite

"Love the new rucking boots. They are soft, comfortable and durable and similar to the Rough Runners, which were my most favorite all purpose workout and rucking shoes. Now the MACV-1’s are my favorite. Highly recommend purchasing."

— Hoyt B. (5/5)

Very comfortable!

"By the 3rd wear felt perfect! Well constructed and very comfortable. Great look."

— David K. (5/5)

Comfy right out of the

"Comfy right out of the box, knocked out 5miles w/45#. My feet were very happy that I was not wearing my steel toe work boots."

— Mark G. (5/5)

Made for the Asphalt Jungle

"I absolutely love these MACV-1 Hi-Speed boots. I have several pairs of the original MACV-1s and the MACV-2s. Where the MACV-2 grips the terrain, the Hi-Speed boot flies on the asphalt. Surprisingly comfortable out of the box, it makes rucking with 260 lbs total on asphalt a very different experience from the MACV-2s. Buy a pair to know the difference, because it is significant."

— MICHAEL D. (5/5)
