The ROCKY Entry Level Hot Weather Military Boot stands out for its impressive comfort level. The padded collar provides cushioning around your ankle, allowing for extended periods of wear without discomfort.

User Reviews
Boots are great. They hold up to everything I’ve put them through, and are very stain resistant and waterproof. The Rocky customer service is awesome, very fast and stand by their warranty. I had the lace retainer tear through the leather that houses it, and they’ve going to replace the boots. The process, amazingly, took about 24 hours to get the return/replace confirmation. I’m very pleased with these boots. And they’re made right here in the USA!
This is my sons second pr. the first pr lasted over a year until the inside toe area split open. He loves them, wears them every day all day.
They fit like all my other 10.5 redwing boots. They are comfortable and look like they will hold up. I've worn them for a week and had no complaints.
Perfect
take boots ,take out laces, drag out water hose and fill boots with water and let them sooak for 15 min. thenproceed to beat the unholyness out of them squeeze, twist, stomp, beat them up against a large tree.then refill with water let them set while you put on 2 pairs of socks, then put on boots( no need to dump water)replace laces left over right but not too tight and wear them till they dry,run,jump,kick,stomp,cut wood,work on yer roof ,and u will have a broke in very comfortable ,functional,proud to own set of all purpose foot wear ( toss the socks u will have the boots on a easy 20 hrs and ya dont want them socks)
