I purchased them in November 2018, mainly for my work where I’m standing and walking all day, every day.
(Well, about 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.)

You can see, in the video, they are now almost completely bald.
Still, they provide decent traction.

Screen Shot 2020-11-08 at 10.22.59 PM There’s no damage on upper portion of the boots.
Most shoes and light weight boots get some sort of damage on upper, by this time.
Look at the Marrell in the video, they are very gently used compared to MACV-1 , yet, they already developed the holes inside.
Typically, upper gets cracked, holed, loosing shape, but MACV-1 boots are perfectly fine, there’s virtually no damage.
I had to replace the lace, after 18 months or so.
DSC00236 Will I buy them again?
YES. I WILL.
Would I recommend them?
YES. Whoever you are, whatever you do, if you are on your feet for long period of time, many days, and looking for quality foot wear, yes, these boots are highly recommended.
