2nd pair

Would Recommend

I have owned 2 pairs of these boots over the last 6 years. They hold up great, for daily use and abuse. I bought a second pair for looks but my original pair is still great for dirty work and still hold up great 6 years later.

Very durable

Would Recommend

Great quality and very durable boot. Only issue is my feet sweat on summer days and this boot will not clear the metal detector at my correctional facility!

Most comfortable boot ever

Would Recommend

I've worn these for work for the past 3 years. 12 hour shifts, maybe more. Great year round (hot & humid to freezing temps). Getting ready to order my next pair. They don't have a break in period. Lightweight and solid. They last longer than the other brands (I've tried most of them). I'm definitely NOT easy on my boots. They stop looking good (scuffs, cuts, paint) long before the integrity of the boot gives out or they start hurting. The insole is perfect, other boots I was constantly adding ...

Very narrow and painful

Would Not Recommend

I have been wearing Rocky boots since 2012 while I was in the military, I have always loved them. Very light weight and comfortable, until I ordered this last pair. I always order the same size 11 1/2 wide the boots I got say that they are the correct size but my toes are bunched up to the point of overlap I didn't notice it at first I figured maybe they just need to be broken in and they will be fine. I was wrong these boots make it feel as if every step I take I have just trekked 100 miles.

Excellent duty boots

Would Recommend

Love these boots. I started with a pair of Reebox duty boots and within two months the inserts started to move, and by the end of the day my feet and back were killing me. I asked a few fellow officers what boots they liked, and the Rocky’s were mentioned, so I bought a pair. They are awesome so far. No back or foot pain at the end of the shift. So far, so good. Not a bad price either!

Size Matters

Would Recommend

Boot quality was great. However, the 12 W was like a 12 Regular so I had to send them back. Sad. I'm sure Rocky loses a lot of sales from us 12W-12.5W Americans. Still looking for a good mid range priced work boot for N Idaho wilderness conditions.

Too narrow!

I have bought Rocky boots in past that were wide and actually were. Whoever designed these boots does not understand what wide is. Had to buy competitors duty boots because I needed them for work and my old Rocky boots were worn out. Get a clue, approx. half the world is wearing wide sizes and you are not keeping up.
