User Reviews
I looked around the internet for months, and this is the boot I decided to purchase. It is of high quality and great styling. I do not like the square toe designs, and this was one of the few round toe designs available in a waterproof option. I wanted a Western style in waterproof, and no steel toe. The heel offers great stability, and the boots are very comfortable. I have worn Rockys in the military for years and always found them comfortable. Buying clothing or footwear on websites is uneasy, but these fit true to the size. If they have the same exact style in a darker color I would not hesitate to buy a second pair. I might just buy a second pair to keep nice, while I wear the other one for working around the house and outdoor activity.
Very comfortable and a good looking boot. I was a fan of George Strait boots and this is as close as I could find. This is my second pair of these boots one for work and one for Church.
Truly waterproof. Like any leather footwear it has to worn a few times to adapt to your foot. Absolutely comfortable after the third wear. (Minimum 1 hr each time) Has become my favorite go to boot in very short order. She likes the way they look on me too. 😁
Since they started making Rockies in China they don't last like they use too! I use to get 2 or 3 years out of a pair of Rockies doing electric linemen work! But now I'm lucky if I get year and a half out of them! Fit great and still very comfortable but just don't hold up to hard outdoor work like they use too!
I did the wardrobe try out the first pair I got my husband the wrong size but the boots were perfect though too bad I got the wrong size... got it sent back in time not charged... that’s a plusthe second pair I got wasn’t so they were repacked not in the original box they were squished in transit and one of the boots had glue smothered on it but other than that the boot fit perfect I tried to get a discount but only option is to send them back for a replacement my husband needs them for Xmas so it will be risky sending them back and not getting his boots in time for Xmas we figured we’d keep them for the full price $170 since they are for work after we figured the glue stain isn’t such a big deal but overall not happy with the experience...
The boots are a great work boot. Fit like a glove and very comfortable. Will buy again
I have worn this model rocky boot for the last 10 years, I don't know what has happened but the last pair I purchase and this pair I purchase from you are just garbage they are too tight they don't fit they hurt my feet. And it's the same size I have always gotten. And no it has nothing to do with my feet swelling or getting bigger, I have other shoes and boots that I still wear the same size as I always have.
This is not a steel toe boot. They also fit MUCH smaller than previous Rocky boots I’ve purchased in the past.
