STRIPPED DOWN RUCKING BOOTS THAT FEEL LIKE SNEAKERS We took our classic MACV-1 ® rucking boots and deconstructed them to be as lightweight and immediately comfortable as they can be. They're the most like an athletic shoe you can possibly make a boot. Features LIGHTWEIGHT. SUPPORTIVE. PROVEN. MACV-1® Hi-Speed is built on the same supportive yet lightweight EVA midsole and all-terrain outsole as our original MACV-1® jungle rucking boots. STRIPPED DOWN TO THE BARE ESSENTIALS No toe caps, no heel cups. 25% thinner suede. Super lightweight and packs down to nothing. The most like an athletic shoe that you can possibly make a boot. LIGHTWEIGHT EVA MIDSOLE At under 14oz (28 oz/pair for 6"), MACV-1® is lighter than any footwear of its kind, ever. The relationship between the EVA midsole and the rubber outer sole matters greatly to the performance of the boot - and the combined weight is a major factor in whether you want to wear them or not. HIGH TRACTION OUTSOLE Dual compound rubber outsole delivers versatile performance in any environment, including improved traction on wet and muddy terrain. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip while the heel area is formulated for abrasion resistance and increased durability. The outsole also wraps up at the toes for understated protection against aggressive terrain or when doing push-ups. NO BREAK-IN TIME They're ready when you are, right out of the box. WIDE TOE BOX Generous forefoot area lets your toes breathe. Over time and distance during any activity including rucking or traveling, your feet will swell. This extra space reduces the friction that can occur if your feet rub against the insides of your boot. IDEAL RUCKING OFFSET The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. 13mm offset reduces the strain on your achilles (and by proxy your ankle, knees, and hips) and helps to accommodate a natural gait in an unnatural world of asphalt and man-made surfaces. PROUDLY NOT WATERPROOF If rain, sweat, streams, gets in a waterproof boot there is nowhere for it to go. Shielding drain holes are better than waterproof. They keep sand and debris out and repel moisture with every step. They expel water with old fashioned technology that just works - with every step, you push the water out the side of the boot. NO SPACER MESH Spacer mesh is soft, squishy, and feels comfortable to your hand when you touch it. But it’s a trap, literally. The first time spacer mesh looks at any kind of water, your boots get heavier and they stay that way. So we proudly do not use spacer mesh, end of story. PREMIUM SUEDE UPPER Hard wearing suede that only gets better with time and use. Paired with 1000D CORDURA and 2" nylon webbing for added ankle support - debris and rain stay out and your feet can still breathe. 3MM SPEED LACES Speed laces are 3mm as opposed to standard 5mm. Debris and mud doesn't collect on the 3mm laces like it does on the 5mm, the 3mm rinse off and dry faster, and they're faster to tie because there's less bulk. DUAL DENSITY INSERT Our custom insert uses a dual layered compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support for all 3 of your arches- throughout the duration of your foot strike.
