The day I got these boots I ran 8 miles in them with issued wool socks. The next day I was in a 10 mile ruck march with only a 35 pound pack so I ran that as well. I completed both of these wearing these boots brand new without so much as a hot spot, I find that impressive for a brand new boot. I can not attest to these boots durability seeing as I have not had them long enough. However, I will say that from what I can see the construction of these boots seems to be very well thought out and I trust that they will last me quite a while. While they are relatively expensive and are not accepted at some schools i.e AAST they are worth the extra penny. They have already out lasted my Altama 8" exospeeds which cost me about $90.00 and lasted only 6 month due to land nav in semi rough terrain. The vibram sole is very durable. I have put almost 200 miles on them now (running or rucking) and have not seen any signs of wear. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have worn multiple combat boots include danners, bates, corocan, oakley and these Rockys. These are hands down the best combat boot I have ever used and will buy them again if they aren't issued, and most people who have them will say the same.

The sole lasts long and doesn't slip

The oakleys I was wearing prior to this were easily torn and very slippery. I have personally written 2 medical boards for guys with herniated discs and one of the exacerbating factors was them slipping on the aircraft or pavement . . . they were wearing oakleys

I have not had any issues with these rockies from a physician perspective

Bought these boots to do cold weather hunting in western Pennsylvania. Not only were they warm enough but helped me to bag a 8 point buck early in the season. If you know how to walk in the woods these will magnify your stealthyesss. They are not super stiff like most hunting boots. They bend and move just enough to get a quiet step. The only reason I didn't give a perfect 5 stars was because the material did make a creaking noise if I stepped a certain way. But let's be honest I don't think any boot maker is fine tuning or can even have that much control to stop every noise. Highly recommended, would buy again!

This is the most comfortable boots out of the box i have ever worn. Once the boot was worn for several weeks it became as comfortable as my running shoes. It has definitely stood up to the harsh conditions in Iraq. I was initially very skeptical going away from my Danner Acadia boots. This boot has made me a believer. Buy them, you wont be disappointed!!!

My first pair didn't fit so I sent them back and had a new larger pair by the end of the day. Boots are comfortable and I wear them to work everyday. Good boots good service.

Great comfortable boots. Were missing a lacing hoop on the upper left boot though. Had the local boot repair place fix them. That was my only complaint. The assembler must have had a rough Monday when he installed the lacing eyes.

The Rocky boots are great. They fit to size, feel good and stay dry. The only thing I don't liks the laces. They are so little they are abrasive to pull. It's a small issue,jj but better laces would certainly complete the package

Sole is stiched, triple stitching throughout the boot. Better than advertised! I recommend this boot to anyone. Whether you are doing foot patrols in Iraq or Afganhistan, sitting behind the desk on the FOB, or on your feet anywhere; this boot is for you. True size, very comfortable, breathes very well. Easy to walk in sand, loose rocks, and wet terrain. It seems like the price is steep; just hit Submit, you won't regret it.

The boots are comfortable. They run a 1/2 size small though, so I suggest buying at least 1 size up if you like insoles in your boots!

Hands down this is the best boot on the market! I've easily rucked over 1000 miles with these boots and they're still in great condition. They are very impact resistant, I have over 35 airborne jumps with my rockys and not once have I jacked my feet or ankles up. Even down range in extreme heats they kept my feet cool and dry over countless patrols. I'd recommend these boots to anyone.
