GORUCK has expanded its footwear line with the upcoming Heritage Jump Boot which is a modern boot based on design cues from the World War II-era jump boot.
Built on their MACV-1 platform with its wide toe box, the 8″ upper is crafted from premium full-grain leather that is Aniline Tanned.
For lacing, look for a combination of eyelets and barrels. Like the classic, there’s a capped toe, but the Heritage Jump Boot goes one step further with a rubber toe wrap.
The Lightweight EVA midsole is paired with a -traction rubber outsole, featuring a 13mm heel-to-toe drop. You’ll also find drain holes like the on the jungle boot.
Pre-order now for shipping in 1st Quarter of 2022 but better hurry because pre-orders close 7 September.

GORUCK Heritage Jump Boot Features
Premium Leather Upper
Extremely tough and durable full-grain leather with a premium finish. It is hard-wearing and only gets better with time and use.
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
A 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.
Shielding Drain Holes
Keeps sand and debris out and repels 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.
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.
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 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.
No Break-In Time
They’re ready when you are, right out of the box.
