Comfortable and quality boots
"These shine on the trail, great traction on sand and rocks, also not bad for the sidewalk or blacktop. Quality is great and they appear to be built to last as are all my other Goruck products. Money well spent with your company as usual. Fits true to size, yes roomy toe box. All in all a great made boot at a super reasonable price."

Amazing boots!
"Cannot say enough good things about these boots. The picture of the beat up boots are my old pair. I have had them over 4 years but the last 3 I have worn them every day for work and put about 5 miles a day on them. They have held up to the abuse and still have miles left on them. Because they were so comfortable and reliable I bought another pair (pics of new boot). When I put them on it was like putting on my old pair. Love the toe room and no break in time for me. These are a quality made boot that will last you for years."

My second pair. They are
"My second pair. They are comfortable right out of the box. First pair is the 6 in pair I use for work. I’ve put a couple hundred miles on them and they barely look used. The coyote 8 in I just got and have already put a few miles on them but they’ll get plenty. Wide toe box and comfortable well made boot."

Awesome experience in Alaska
"Bought these to wear at Bear Photography Camp in Katmai National Park in Alaska. Weather: 1 day sunny and 65 degrees - rest of the days rain, overcast, fog and 38 degrees. Took them through sea water (dropped off by float plane), sand (bears clamming on the beach), mud, muck, crossed rivers and streams and lying on the marsh photographing bears. Note: river crossings were only 3-4 feet due to crossing during low tides. These boots held up GREAT in all these conditions - a little slippery in mud but what isn't. No pain in my feet from walking 5-6 miles per day thru all these conditions. I wore waders with these and wish I would've ordered up another size but that is because of the waders not the boots - other than that I feel they are true to size. Only complaint: Wish the insoles were made for more wet conditions - the boots drained great but wish the insoles had a perforated bottom to drain water better and dry quicker."

My favorite Ruck Boot!
"This is my 2nd pair of this boot. . . They seem better than my first. They dont need breaking in but I do it anyway. the fit is true to size and I still have my last pair, I just wore the soles off of them. They look like my old Altima jungles and feel like Bates Lites(Im a 90's era Marine Grunt) Overall quality is always awesome ( It's GoRuck ,go figure!) I will buy another pair. Hopefully you will continue to run this line."

MACV SOG review
"While the boots themselves seem well-made, the foot portion itself seems to be OK. They definitely need to be broken in however I don't like the riser section up to the bed height. I actually think the material is a little bit too Frey and offers no ankle protection I wish it was just slightly stepper. It'd be easier to put them on quickly. For these boots, I understand they're supposed to be lightweight, but I was expecting a little bit more ankle protection, even just slightly maybe some cushioning and also necessarily a stiff upper section but maybe something that's easier to put on if I had to jump in them quickly. I'm in the military so the first thing I thought about was jumping out of bed in middle of night when the siren goes off."

Great so far!
"Received the MacV2 in coyote about a week ago. I was very surprised that there was little to no break in time. Took the dog on a 2mile walk and had no signs of blisters or hot spots. I since have put on around 20 miles and still not one sign of a blister. The only adjustment was the I initial retightening the laces when I first started walking. Boots are very well made and have no issues I have found. Would recommend."

Great!
"Great! Feels just like the jungle boots that i was issued in 2001 with the exception of great comfort and support on the bottom of my feet. Once broken in they are amazing!"

Horrible heel cup
"I’ve been in the Army for some years now and have never had heel blister issues. These boots, after wearing for one single ruck (65 lbs, 6 miles), absolutely tore open both of my heels around mile 4. These boots will now unfortunately be an office boot due to the fact that the heel cup is not conducive to moving long distance or moving under load. Incredibly disappointed in GORUCK boots"
