Worst Pair of Boots I’ve Ever own

"The durability of these boots are atrocious! During my time in the military, I have never experienced this before with a pair of boots. As an infantrymen I ABUSE my boots. The heel sole started to fall off and the laces kept ripping. This took place within a year of having them. The only saving grace was the customer service. Received a new pair after showing them the images below. Sad to say, had the same problems again. Highly recommend to not get this boot or just use them for garrison. It’s a shame because the wide toe box is amazing and hard to find in boots."

— Jake (2/5)

Great boot but

"I live these boots, they feel great and mold well to my feet. Especially with my high arches. The big issue I have with them is the durability of the skin. The toe part of the boot doesn’t just scuff when encountering rough terrain. They loose a chunk of material. I have to put a dab of glue on it to keep the missing skin burable."

— Spoden (3/5)

Comfortable, but has room for improvement

"For the price, boots are comfortable. However, even after breaking them in by soaking, followed by walking, rucking, and general wear they still wear blisters on the heels. Maybe it’s my heel shape, but I think the heel cup could be deeper/more forgiving. Would’ve returned, but return policy makes it hard to put them through a good test and still be eligible. Wish more boot companies were following what Goruck does by making non waterproof boots."

— Brian (2/5)

I wanted to love these…

"I wanted to love them, but they don’t fit my feet. Ordered my usual size and overall the boot feels on the loose side. The heel cup, however, pinches in on both sides. Hot spots and blisters forming after just a mile and a half. Seems like a fairly common issue with these boots. Disappointing after so much time looking into non-waterproof boots."

Completely wore out the first

"Completely wore out the first pair after 2 plus years. they're perfect for me, I can keep them shined up looking good for work campus environment but can leave them on and operate on the range. I'll probably buy another pair next month so I can rotate them. RLTW!!"

— Jason W. (5/5)

Comfort right out of the box

"Had them for two weeks nearly now. Been used as a duty boot and they are so comfortable. Hard to describe but they just feel natural. No hot spots and im on my feet all day. First day I wore them a 16 hour shift with the last 6 hours being a football game with bleachers, stairs and on my feet the entire time. Really enjoying these! If they last a year, they are well worth it. Wear a size 10.5 in Nike and that’s the size I went with. Perfect fit! Also ordered a pair of the mid socks. So far they are very nice as well. Great feel and no wet or stinking feet."

— Brad M. (5/5)

Can't live without.

"Pair number two for me after wearing the outsole off of the previous pair over the last two years. Wear them daily for work and they're the most comfortable and light weight boot to wear for 17+ hours a day. They hold up extremely well and wear great with thick or thin socks. Only gripe is the laces last about 6 months of heavy use and I would classify my usage as no less than heavy."

MacV-2 Boots

"This is my second pair and I completely enjoy them. The toe box is ample when the foot swells. I used my first pair through all different types of terrain. Asphalt, trail, beach, and water. They held up to their quality. Good purchase."

"The boots are pretty good. I’ve had trouble with blistering on the inside of my heels my first couple trips, but I am breaking them in overall the quality is great on them. I feel like they are a pretty good boot."
