MEN

Our 89% Merino wool blend is antimicrobial, quick drying, and insulating, and 11% Nylon blend helps the merino wool retain its shape and be more abrasion-resistant. The natural antimicrobial property of Merino wool keeps the stink away even when there’s not a washing machine for miles around. The other key benefit of Merino wool is it’s fast-drying, and as we know all too well, dry equals warm. Add to that its breathability when things warm up, and what you have is the most versatile hoodie in your closet.

A featherweight training shirt that thrives during your hardest workouts and dries lightning fast. We built these tees to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci

ToughMesh™ is our world-class, featherweight fabric milled at the foothills of the Italian Alps, not far from where da Vinci painted The Last Supper. It took us five years to develop, test and prove a fabric that could thrive in our way of life — no cost, time, or rigor was spared to create a line of apparel that’s tough enough to endure the demands of rucking and training and will dry long before you could drink your first beer, which will be well earned.

We’re proud of the outcome and hope you wear it hard.

Note on sizing: It runs true to size if you want it a little loose. If you're a natural MEDIUM and used to performance shirt fits, a SMALL will work perfectly.

“I use mine every day the sun is out, and that’s nearly every damn day here in sunny Florida. I love it when I am outside on the move with some weight on my back, that’s my form of mental health, but I have no interest in even having a dermatologist, let alone being on their Christmas card list. You gotta keep the rays at bay and this is how I do just that.” — Jason, GORUCK CoFounder

Featherweight performance ToughMesh with UPF 30+ sun protection that breathes and wicks like crazy, dries with little to no breeze, and packs down to practically nothing. The fabric is world-class ToughMesh, milled in the foothills of the Italian Alps close to where da Vinci painted The Last Supper, and it’s now proven with rucks on our backs all over the world.

Everything we make is overbuilt to the highest standard, aka Special Forces Standards, and remains unmatched in the industry. Special Forces Standards means that our buddies must be able to take this gear to war, where life or death depends on their gear functioning. This level of attention to every little detail is why we don’t just meet the standard, but we SET the standard in making the world's toughest work boots.

Introducing the new MACV-2™ Safety Boot, which takes inspiration from our Special Forces MACV series with some added features: a composite toe, a Dyneema puncture-resistant sole, an extra padded perforated foam upper for all-day comfort. They are ASTM-certified and built for those who live hard on their feet and work even harder. Tested and proven by Special Forces, firefighters, welders, and more. The MACV-2™ Safety Boot gives you all the comfort, durability, and protection you need in the harshest work environments and the high quality you’d expect from our footwear.

Lift heavier. Sprint faster. Ruck harder. And look cool doing it. The new standard in functional fitness footwear with 3X Support™ and 3X Stability for all three (3) of your arches, making them the best workout shoes for men and women ever created.

A featherweight training pullover that excels during a long ruck and your toughest workouts, dries lightning fast to keep you moving. We built this pullover to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

"They're built for all-terrain, and I use mine on asphalt every day. I murder running shoes in no time, but I can put over 1,000 miles (with 45# minimum) and 2-3 workouts/week on my Mackalls before it’s time for a new pair." — Jason, GORUCK Cofounder (former Green Beret)

Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training and the Mackall™ is an off-road rucking machine. Maximum versatility and maximum support in a low top trail shoe named in honor of Camp Mackall, the home of Special Forces training.

AGGRESSIVE TRIPLE COMPOUND OUTSOLE
Each section of the triple compound rubber outsole is designed to perform a specific function the best it possibly can. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip with deep tread specifically shaped to grab the ground while shedding mud and debris. It wraps around the toes for additional protection against rocky terrain or when doing push-ups. The midfoot is formulated from a rock climbing compound and hardened for exceptional abrasion resistance — ideal for fast roping. The heel is more dense and formulated for extreme durability with an expanded heel strike area that won't break down over time or distance.

RUGGED MIDSOLE
The midsole design wraps around the entire upper providing significantly more stability and maximum support. Support you need for your feet so they’re not smoked after being on your feet all day, whatever you’re doing. Support is foundational to Mackall™ and makes them versatile — great for combat, traveling, and for people who demand a lot of their feet.

LIGHTWEIGHT KNIT + REINFORCED TPU UPPER
100% polyester knit constructed with the strength and durability to thrive in unforgiving environments. At 230 g/sqm, it's lightweight and fast drying. High-wear areas are reinforced with a protective TPU film. We targeted the toe area for abrasion resistance and the midfoot to heel area for additional lockdown support.

PROTECTIVE TOE CAP
No stubbed toes from craggy rocks or rogue sticks on the trail. A dual layered toe cap provides extra protection and abrasion resistance across the toes. Reinforced bonding to the rubber outsole's toe bumper results in better long term durability after miles of abusive terrain.

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.

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.

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.

3D MOLDED HEEL LOCK
Comfortable PU foam bolsters lock in the heel to prevent slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. This allows you to secure your heel into the shoe without relying on lace-locking or lacing too tightly.

ANATOMICALLY MOLDED TPU HEEL COUNTER
Anchors your foot with a supportive, injection molded heel counter that stabilizes your heel when you're doing dynamic, load bearing exercises.

3MM SPEED LACES
3mm as opposed to standard 5mm, just like MACV-2™. 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.

REFLECTIVE PULL TAB
Highly reflective pull tab on the back heel keeps you visible on the road or trail. Stay safe out there when choosing the harder path.

LACE-LOCK EYELETS
Extra top eyelets can be used to create a tight heel lock — commonly called a runner's loop or lock lace — that prevents heel slippage and excessive movement around the ankle.

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.

Built with super fast-drying, abrasion resistant, 2-way stretch fabric. Complete with cargo pockets, articulated knees, and a diamond gusset.

We built the Rough Runner® to be lightweight and good for high mileage, on a modern running platform. You’ll recognize this in a comfortable fit, but these are not just normal running shoes. In Special Forces, we would run our asses off on pavement and on tank trails and then get to the physical training — push, pull, carry, drag and roll around in dirt fields with weight and slick. Simply running in a straight line is not enough for our way of life and we needed more versatility to do all the things. This is the inspiration for the Rough Runner®.

In 1945, Camp Mackall, North Carolina was the forge for the Airborne paratroopers who helped secure Allied Victory in WWII. When two million people filled Times Square to celebrate the end of the war, America marked a triumph of unity, service, and purpose—a generation that returned home to build the country we love today.

We built the MACKALL 45 to honor that relentless American spirit.

We fused our elite Special Forces rucking chassis with a sharp, heritage suede upper for modern performance and old school looks. This means you can wear one pair of shoes for workouts, travel, and dinner. From a 12-mile overnight beatdown at RUCK OR DIE to stepping out in a suit on the streets of NYC, the Mackall 45 delivers zero-blister comfort, rugged durability, and uncompromising performance out of the box.

GORUCK’s Training Shorts move with you and feel like performance shorts should. But just because they feel soft doesn’t mean they are soft. They adapt to our way of life - and they don’t tear, they don’t rip, and they don’t fail in some of the harshest training environments on the planet. So do your worst.

Features a built-in liner.

The MACV-1™ modernized the Vietnam-era jungle boot, and the MACV-2™ continues that legacy with an all-new outsole for unprecedented traction and even more support.

Suitable for the needs of Special Forces soldiers who spend a career on their feet, all over the world, with heavy rucks on their backs. And for all adventurers who are looking to support their feet on long trips, journeys, and in their daily active lives. MACV-2™ is ready when you are.

PACK LESS, DO MORE

Our 89% Merino wool blend is antimicrobial, quick drying, and insulating, and 11% Nylon blend helps the Merino wool retain its shape and be more abrasion resistant. The natural antimicrobial property of Merino wool keeps odors at bay, so there's no need to bring extra layers when you're on the road for extended periods. When the weather isn't your friend, it'll dry fast and keep you warm. And when it gets really cold, our wool is light enough to layer underneath a jacket (where the anti-odor quality thrives).

Lift heavier. Sprint faster. Ruck harder. And look cool doing it. The new standard in functional fitness footwear with 3X Support™ and 3X Stability for all three (3) of your arches, making them the best workout shoes for men and women ever created.

The Ballistic Trainers HULK are built for the strongest athletes who need the strongest possible footwear for doing anything on their feet. These Ballistic Trainers were built using all of the same science and Specs + Materials that have been proven time and time again with our footwear because we know what works and what doesn’t.

For the HULK, we took the EVA midsole and formulated it specifically for those who need extra support under an insane amount of weight, increasing the stiffness by nearly 40%. This guarantees that all strongmen and strongwomen athletes have footwear they can rely on to be resilient and responsive while putting them in the best position for peak performance.

Backed by science and proven by the greatest athletes of all time, the Ballistic Trainers remain one of the most versatile training shoes on the planet. Now, we can support athletes of all sizes, weights, or tombstone being carried without compromising on the build or function of the shoe.

Suitable for the needs of Special Forces soldiers who spend a career on their feet, all over the world, with heavy rucks on their backs. And for all adventurers who are looking to support their feet on long trips, journeys, and in their daily active lives. MACV-2™ is ready when you are.

Support is foundational to MACV-2™ and makes them versatile — great for combat, traveling, and for people who demand a lot of their feet. The relationship between the EVA midsole and the rubber outsole 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. At 18oz (36 oz/pair for 6"), MACV-2™ is still lighter than any footwear of its kind, even with the new aggressive outsole.

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.

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 UPPER Specs + Materials
Hard wearing full-grain Challenge Leather™ (Black) or suede (Coyote) 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.

ANKLE SUPPORT
Suitable for airborne operations and maintains stability and support on uneven ground. Here's how this works. The 2" webbing is sewn into the heel counter. When you lace your boots up with your ankle locked into the heel, the heel counter and the 2" webbing do not pull forward - this is by design. But as you tighten them down, this process locks your heel down and shifts the freedom of flex to the forefoot. Which is where it should be.

SUEDE + INJECTION MOLDED HEEL COUNTER
Premium suede wraps a supportive, injection molded plastic heel counter. This combo stabilizes your heel as the suede leather prevents the kind of friction that causes hotspots and blisters.

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.
