"Fit well, comfortable, good ankle support and stable. Nice to have a lightweight ankle high boot that isn't black. Only improvement I'd like would be nylon tape finger loops for easier donning. Have a few eyelets that pop loose for some reason and can be popped back. As usual, no issues ordering, quick shipping and tracking worked."
"This is my third pair. I work security so lots of walking and occasional explosive movement. I wore the last pair smooth. Everything else about the boot was good. Those lasted me four years. Expecting the same with these. For them during the 4th promotion. Great value at the sale price. Design has slight changes. They look great. Feel great right out of the box. Love these 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."
"I bought these boots for work/rucking. My old columbia boots have no tread left and I thought these would be a great replacement. I wore them for 4 hours and had to rip them off my feet. No blisters or anything but my feet were aching so bad I could barely take a step without wincing from the pain. I don't know if it's my feet or the boots but they were the most uncomfortable and unbearably painful boots I've ever worn. My feet ached for nearly an hour after taking them off. I was really looking forward to putting some miles into these boots but I'm sorry goruck these were the worst boots I've ever worn."
"Let's see where to start. . . . . MCRAE still makes the Jungle for about $30 dollars more. They are made of higher quality, they fit better, and MCRAE actually knows the size if their boots. On the last point I wear a 9EE. I have worn military boots my entire life. From Danners to MCRAE Jungles. When I email MCRAE they can tell me directly that their wide size is made to a EE standard. The fact that GORUCK says their wide is anywhere from a E to EEEE shows that they really dont know the measurement of their boots and hope you spend money on them. I was hoping to find a low top Boot to wear more while working than wearing my MCRAEs. I guess I wasted $170 bucks on a sub quality Boot in comparison"
"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."
"I've had these for over a year now. They have barely worn down and still look great. The laces are still going strong and although I suffer from plantar fasciitis I do not need any special inserts for these. I've recently used them for testing the Army's new Combat Field Test (CFT) and they've performed exceedingly well. They never felt heavy on the runs and held a stable platform for the other events. I only have experienced two strange minor issues. 1. The tag on the tongue will fray quickly but a butane lighter fixed that in an instant. 2. My boots over time have mismatched on the color and texture slightly (Unfortunately they are in transport to my next training site and I forgot to get pictures) but it does make them look slightly odd. Overall the performance far outweighs the looks in garrison and in the field. If you're looking for a solid, high performance boot that's affordable. Get them before they're out of stock."
"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."
"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."
"A little tight at the toe area and caused blisters on both small toes. Going to try again with the pads removed. This is a common occurrence for me so not a surprise with these shoes"
