GORUCK X CARRYOLOGY BERSERKER VIKING MACV TRAVELER BOOTS
The GORUCK MACV boots are designed for serious adventure, training, and events. For the GRXC3, we refined them for modern travel and exploration.
We eliminated drainage holes to prevent cold, wet feet in urban environments. A waterproof synthetic gusset on the tongue enhances water resistance, while the water-resistant leather construction keeps feet dry in deeper puddles.
We updated the boot’s aesthetic to a classic workwear look, adding a toe cap and heel counter, and streamlined the design to minimize stitching and potential water entry. A leather finger pull loop on the back stay makes donning the boots quick and easy.
The boots feature a subtle custom label in dark charcoal on black and the same blue GRXC3 500D CORDURA Vegvísir footbed liner. After testing in diverse climates and terrains, we believe these are the ideal travel and adventure boots.
We had some fun with the Orange boots, making just ONE pair of each size. With this super limited run, grab yours while you can. They’re a bold choice for those who embrace the extraordinary. For the more practical traveler, the black colorway is the perfect go-to.

Features
All-Terrain 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.
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.
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.
Rucking Offset
The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. A 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.
Lightweight EVA Midsole
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.
Premium Suede Molded Heel Counter
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.
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.
Custom Compression Insert
Our custom insert uses a dense compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support - throughout the duration of your foot strike.
Molded Toe Cap
The addition of the molded toe cap ensures that the boot keeps it’s shape.
No Break-In Time
They're ready when you are, right out of the box.
Rear Finger Loop
Added a finger loop to the rear of the boot so you can easily pull your Travelers on and off.
