Rucking Boots from GORUCK

Let’s review Ruck boots from GORUCK. The MACV-1 is one of the nicest shoes (boot or otherwise) I’ve had the pleasure to test.

So if you want a new kind of adventure, rucking is something you want to try. All you need is a rucksack with added weight and good rucking boots.
