As someone who has been into the world of “functional fitness” for some time now, I have been through a lot of different training shoes. Some of these shoes have been pretty great while others…well..you gotta have something to mow the lawn in!

The Reebok Nanoflex TR 2.0s and the GORUCK Ballistic Trainers are two of my “modern era” favorite training shoes and, with enough niche similarities to categorize them together, breaking down the pros and cons of each shoe is a no brainer.

The Rough Runners primarily attempt to serve this decreasingly niche fitness requirement, banking on the more nimble members of their consumer base being dissatisfied with how their ruck running sessions feel in “traditional” running shoes and less-than-satisfied with how some of their other offerings just don’t seem like the right shoe for the job.

And in my experiences with the shoes, they do a pretty good job.

I know when I was looking for my first “real” ruck that I had to sift through a lot of bags that looked like (and were priced like) expensive travel luggage…when all I wanted to do was carry around 20 or 30 pounds worth of ruck plates.

Thankfully, the GORUCK Bullet ruck was there to bail me out!

Let’s discuss why the GORUCK Bullet is the best “starter ruck” for rucking enthusiasts and why it makes for a better “investment” than some cheaper and more expensive options.

If you’re familiar with GORUCK, the first things that comes to mind when you think about the brand are there unique, durable, and iconic ruck sacks.

This is undisputed and objective (if you disagree, fight me).

…but if you’re a shoe guy, the GORUCK Ballistic Trainers are probably always invading your thoughts (hence why you’ll click on my GORUCK Ballistic Trainers review!)
