The GORUCK Heritage Jump Boots are a New Take on a Classic

— September 8, 2021 — Fashion
The GORUCK Heritage Jump Boots are a footwear style inspired by a classic design to help offer modern wearers with a dependable option that will keep up with their lifestyle. The boots draw inspiration from the US Army Corcoran jump boots that were originally issued in 1941 as a rugged footwear style for parachutists. The boots are constructed using full-grain leather sourced from the Rostaing Tannery and are built on the brand's MACV-1 platform that is supportive yet lightweight.

The GORUCK Heritage Jump Boots are finished with shielded drainage holes and an ergonomic offset that measures in at 13mm from heel-to-toe. Available for preorder now, the boots are priced at $195 per pair and are expected to start shipping in January 2022.
