WOMEN All Women's

Inspired by the experience of a real CIA field agent and designed for the everyday woman on a mission, the Spy Ruck™ is more than a weighted vest. It’s a tool for strength, confidence, and purpose. GORUCK Co-Founder and former CIA officer Emily McCarthy built the Spy Ruck to empower women to train with purpose and move with freedom.

Every detail was engineered for how you move. The contoured profile stays close to your body without restricting breathing. Balanced weight placement means your energy goes into progress, not fighting the gear. The interior fabric flexes where you need comfort and holds strong where you need stability, so nothing distracts you from your next step, rep, or mile.

The result is a vest that seamlessly blends into your routine while making you stronger with every step.

Like every piece of GORUCK gear, the Spy Ruck is backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

Your Spy Ruck is made to be used and used hard. At GORUCK, our gear is built tough for tougher people. Here’s how to care for your Spy Ruck when you are ready to clean it.

1. Prep the Solution. Fill a tub or sink with room temperature (not hot) water and mix in a little mild soap, dish soap or even shampoo works. No bleach. Ever. Bleach is the enemy.
2. Wash the Evidence. Apply the soapy water directly to the vest and give it a good hand wash. No machines. Just you and some elbow grease. Rinse with clean water.
3. Exfil & Air‑Dry. Hang it up and air-dry. Let the sun do its thing if you’ve got it, no dryers. The materials won’t bleed, fade, or rust. Consider it a tactical reset between rucking missions.

"They're built for all-terrain, and I use mine on asphalt every day. I murder running shoes in no time, but I can put over 1,000 miles (with 45# minimum) and 2-3 workouts/week on my Mackalls before it’s time for a new pair." — Jason, GORUCK Cofounder (former Green Beret)

Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training and the Mackall™ is an off-road rucking machine. Maximum versatility and maximum support in a low top trail shoe named in honor of Camp Mackall, the home of Special Forces training.

AGGRESSIVE TRIPLE COMPOUND OUTSOLE
Each section of the triple compound rubber outsole is designed to perform a specific function the best it possibly can. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip with deep tread specifically shaped to grab the ground while shedding mud and debris. It wraps around the toes for additional protection against rocky terrain or when doing push-ups. The midfoot is formulated from a rock climbing compound and hardened for exceptional abrasion resistance — ideal for fast roping. The heel is more dense and formulated for extreme durability with an expanded heel strike area that won't break down over time or distance.

RUGGED MIDSOLE
The midsole design wraps around the entire upper providing significantly more stability and maximum support. Support you need for your feet so they’re not smoked after being on your feet all day, whatever you’re doing. Support is foundational to Mackall™ and makes them versatile — great for combat, traveling, and for people who demand a lot of their feet.

LIGHTWEIGHT KNIT + REINFORCED TPU UPPER
100% polyester knit constructed with the strength and durability to thrive in unforgiving environments. At 230 g/sqm, it's lightweight and fast drying. High-wear areas are reinforced with a protective TPU film. We targeted the toe area for abrasion resistance and the midfoot to heel area for additional lockdown support.

PROTECTIVE TOE CAP
No stubbed toes from craggy rocks or rogue sticks on the trail. A dual layered toe cap provides extra protection and abrasion resistance across the toes. Reinforced bonding to the rubber outsole's toe bumper results in better long term durability after miles of abusive terrain.

IDEAL 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.

WIDE TOE BOX
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.

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.

3D MOLDED HEEL LOCK
Comfortable PU foam bolsters lock in the heel to prevent slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. This allows you to secure your heel into the shoe without relying on lace-locking or lacing too tightly.

ANATOMICALLY MOLDED TPU HEEL COUNTER
Anchors your foot with a supportive, injection molded heel counter that stabilizes your heel when you're doing dynamic, load bearing exercises.

3MM SPEED LACES
3mm as opposed to standard 5mm, just like MACV-2™. Debris and mud doesn't collect on the 3mm laces like it does on the 5mm, the 3mm rinse off and dry faster, and they're faster to tie because there's less bulk.

REFLECTIVE PULL TAB
Highly reflective pull tab on the back heel keeps you visible on the road or trail. Stay safe out there when choosing the harder path.

LACE-LOCK EYELETS
Extra top eyelets can be used to create a tight heel lock — commonly called a runner's loop or lock lace — that prevents heel slippage and excessive movement around the ankle.

DUAL DENSITY INSERT
Our custom insert uses a dual layered compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support for all 3 of your arches- throughout the duration of your foot strike.

In 1945, Camp Mackall, North Carolina was the forge for the Airborne paratroopers who helped secure Allied Victory in WWII. When two million people filled Times Square to celebrate the end of the war, America marked a triumph of unity, service, and purpose—a generation that returned home to build the country we love today.

We built the MACKALL 45 to honor that relentless American spirit.

We fused our elite Special Forces rucking chassis with a sharp, heritage suede upper for modern performance and old school looks. This means you can wear one pair of shoes for workouts, travel, and dinner. From a 12-mile overnight beatdown at RUCK OR DIE to stepping out in a suit on the streets of NYC, the Mackall 45 delivers zero-blister comfort, rugged durability, and uncompromising performance out of the box.

We built the Rough Runner® to be lightweight and good for high mileage, on a modern running platform. You’ll recognize this in a comfortable fit, but these are not just normal running shoes. In Special Forces, we would run our asses off on pavement and on tank trails and then get to the physical training — push, pull, carry, drag and roll around in dirt fields with weight and slick. Simply running in a straight line is not enough for our way of life and we needed more versatility to do all the things. This is the inspiration for the Rough Runner®.
