Detailed Review
The Rocky mens FQ0007114 boots excel in the realm of comfort. With a specially designed wide oblique toe box, your feet have the freedom to move without feeling cramped, reducing fatigue during extended wear. This feature, coupled with a removable polyurethane footbed, allows you to customize the support level according to your preferences.
In terms of performance, these boots do not disappoint. The waterproof and breathable qualities effectively keep moisture out while allowing sweat to escape, addressing temperature regulation which is crucial during long workdays. The rubber sole is oil and slip-resistant, providing stability on various terrains, ensuring you stay safe no matter where your job takes you.
When we consider durability, the high abrasion heel counter adds considerable strength against wear and tear, indicating that these boots can withstand heavy-duty tasks. While some users may find the weight of the boots slightly cumbersome, it is a fair trade-off for the protection and support they provide.

User Reviews
Supple leather right out of the box. Has a rich brown colored coating applied. Looks good with shorts and long pants. Toe box has a nice wide space, but doesn’t let heal or shank area slip. I use these as casual shoes, I’d rank these higher than my tennis shoes in the comfort department! Only thing is the summer months they will cook your feet, only to be expected with water proof linings. These are not gore tex. I have yet to have wet feet from the outside in though!! Fair price for this product
Great steel toe boot that don't hurt your toes and is waterproof too. I've been wearing this style boot for over six years. Steel toes are required at my work. These have the oblique (wide) toe which keeps the steel toe from rubbing your toes as most boots do. Instead of buying boots half a size bigger to allow for the steel toe, on these you can buy boots that fit your feet and still have room at the toe. They are light weight, soft soles, cushioned in-soles and are water proof on top of all it's other qualities. For a per that works in a manufacturing industry, on their feet most all of the day and all concrete on top of that, these boots are great. I'll continue buying these boots as long as Rocky continues to make them and definately would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a good comfortable water proof boot. And for those that don't need the steel toe, they also make these same boots without the steel toe.
My last pair lasted ten years. I’ve had these two weeks and they are great. No pain from breaking them in. On my feet for hours with no issues. I did add arch supports, but I think most people would be fine without them.
Quality boot. No doubt about it - well constructed -nice insole - nice design. Due to some foot problems , I have trouble finding a boot I can wear all day.Never tried Rocky's before. This style claims widest toe box in the industry but I think that may be an exaggeration. I usually wear a 12W -sometimes I have to step up to a thirteen. These boots were right on the border. The size wasn't bad - probably true to size for most.- the left felt fine but my troublesome right foot felt uncomfortable. I didn't want to take the chance on a daily basis. Amazon excepted the return no problem. Wish companies would make 1/2 sizes above the 12's for freak footed people like me.
Just out of the box. Perfect width. perfect length. built in China but someone has good control of the factory. The toe box is so comfortable on the toes. These are what Timberland Pros were years ago. I wish they had them in black. Once you take them out of the box and put them on you really don't want to take them off. These shoes are really that good on 'my' feet.Thanks so much to Rocky....
As I've matured, my feet have been changing. I experience pain on the top and the sides of my feet. These Rocky boots fit my wide EEE feet best. The soft leather fits well and they are very durable.My only complaint is that the squares begin comeing off the bottom once they are broke in. A very durable and comfortable boot. 😃
Great boot. Love the large toe box but only lasted 7 months. It's falling apart at the ankle.
Rocky has done a fine job with this boot. The hook eyelets have been updated. The toe box (even though a steel toe) and width are generous. The tongue and collar are padded and very comfortable. All stitching and the welt are stout.
