AR670-1 COMPLIANT, OUT-OF-THE-BOX SOPC SPECIALS We took our classic MACV-1™ rucking boots and deconstructed them to be as lightweight and immediately comfortable as they can be. They're an out-of-the-box "SOPC Special" (SOPC = Special Operations Preparation Course). Features AR670-1 COMPLIANTUS Army Regulation 670-1 compliant boots meet the following criteria: 8-10 inches in height Cowhide leather material Plain toe design with no extra protection Tan or coyote brown in color Rubber or polyurethane outsole Outsole color must match the rest of the boot Sole height less than 2 inches Upper made from cattle hide (like the rest of the boot), or a leather and non-mesh combination 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 ESSENTIALSNo 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 MIDSOLEAt 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 OUTSOLEDual 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 TIMEThey're ready when you are, right out of the box.WIDE TOE BOXGenerous 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 OFFSETThe 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 WATERPROOFIf 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 MESHSpacer 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 UPPERHard 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 LACESSpeed 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 INSERTOur 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.
