Long Distance Ruck Footwear

[tdcour]

Anyone have recommendations on long distance rucking footwear? Doing a marathon ruck in March and don’t really want to use my Crispi Nevadas. They fit great, but are too heavy and I don’t need a super stiff boot for the terrain.

Tried a pair of Go Ruck MacV-2 boots and they are too wide for my foot and have too much heel slip. My brother runs Alta boots and likes them, but online reviews aren’t great.

Don’t think I necessarily need the ankle support of a boot.

Will your marathon ruck be on pavement or trails? I do an 8-hour ruck/archery event at a ski slope in Wisconsin every April. I found the Salomon Cross Hike boot to be pretty much a running shoe with a tiny bit of ankle support and more aggressive tread. Everyone has different feet though

It’s at white sands middle range in NM. It’s a mix of pavement and dirt road mostly. The dirt road is anywhere from solid to soft sand and rocks.

How much weight are you carrying?

I find the Altra Lone peaks great for rucking and bowhunting unless im sidehilling or in very steep country
Super light and great tread
Can also run in them if you feel like it!
Have fun
