The [boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-bugaboot-1) draw inspiration from the [US Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-combat-2in1-jacket) 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.
