User Reviews
Rocky boots have never disappointed. These boots are very light weight and comfortable. I was worried about the look of these but with pants they look like a natural patrol boot. The upper part of the boot breaths very nicely. The power portion is all leather with no breathing holes that would be my only complaint. Overall awesome boot for the price.
I wear these boots for 12-14hrs a day and they are great
