GoRuck has released a new boot called the MACV-2 which features a more aggressive outsole.
GoRuck describes their sole by explaining that the forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip with deep tread specifically shaped to grab the ground while shedding mud and debris. They’ve wrapped the sole up 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 which they say is 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.
The MACV-2 features a 13mm heel-to-toe drop to reduce the strain on your achilles while rucking.
The boots have shielded drain holes like jungle boots. They also retain the nylon webbing ankle reinforcement. For further support, there is an injection molded heel counter wrapped in suede to reduce hit spots. Since these boots were made for rucking, they feature a wide toe box. Finally, the boots come with a dual density insert with arch support.
The MACV-2 is offered as a mid height boot in the classic Black and Green jungle boot colorway which they refer to as “origins” as well as Black and Coyote versions. It’s also available as a high top version on Coyote for uniform wear. Look for sizes 4-15.
The MACV-1 is on sale and still in stock in several colors and sizes.

Very cool! I have the MACV 1s and the lugs on sole being shallow is my only complaint about them, they get a bit slippery. The new sole here looks very promising. The only issue is that I havent cooked my MACV1s yet.
Fingers crossed they bring this outsole to the Jedburghs.
