@@shanewhetstone7977 yeah. They would work. However, I find most GORUCK events these days are urban and more time is spent in pavement. So, for me, I do events in running shoes. But, these would work just fine as well.
Nice review. Just saw these online yesterday. I went to their sizing chart, which does suggest that they run a little small. I’d probably order a half size up as you suggest. Of course, everyone’s mileage may vary on that until you try them on.
Nice video! Couple questions: 1. How's the level of protection (toe cap looks robust enough) but sides/uppers are hard to gauge? As a rucker (I'm a hardcore peak-bagger and have never heard the term...), I'm guessing you're probably not as familiar with approach shoes, but if you have heard of any of these, I'm curious as to how the level of protection of this shoe compares to the likes of the 5.10 Camp 4, Scarpa's Zen Pro and/or Scarpa's Mescalito? Less protective (but still decent and would be a useful benchmark for comparison): AKU's Rocks, Mammut's Ducan, or Garmont's Dragontail Any other top approach shoe, even... I've tried most all... 2. How easy do you feel it would be to do a li'l 'surgery' on these to convert them to low's?
I wish someone would do a zero drop rucking shoe. Probably never happen since it's a niche of a niche. I end up just using Altras
There are many minimalist hiking boats out there.
Same.
FNG Academy is supposedly coming out with some but never happened which is disappointing
VJ really reminds of like a US made INOV-8. Pretty cool stuff.
Thank you so much for the honest review!!
I’ve never been able to find a rucking foot platform to get rid of metatarsal pain.
Would you suggest this for a Goruck Tough event?

Great questions… all way beyond my expertise or knowledge base. Sorry about that.
