The boots are great, but were too tall for me. This is a very well made boot I must say. Unfortunately I had to return them because they were too tall for me.

I bought a pair of these boots two years ago to wear as my daily work boots, and I must say that my feet have never hurt me once and my lower back has been supported for the whole two years I've owned a pair. I am a train conductor so I am on my feet all day and these boots I would recommend for everyone who has to be on their feet all day.

These boots seem well constructed and are mostly comfortable, although you may want to order them a half size up, as the insulation makes them feel a little tight. I'm hoping they break in a bit and loosen up. I like the insulation though, makes them feel nicer than straight leather. The issue I do have is that even with the side zipper, you have to still use the laces, or keep them loose (which is what I do.) I've never had a paratrooper boot that required this, even my other pair of Rocky boots. I assume they are durable, as my last pair of Rocky boots lasted forever, and while a little beaten, are still wearable after several years of regular use. Speaking of those old boots, they were a PT boot with a front zipper laced up the front. They were the best pair of boots, ever! Why Rocky doesn't offer them anymore, I don't know.

Received these boots a couple weeks ago. Had to replace the regular laces with elastic ones to make it easier to get on. Other than that, really like them.

I bought these for what I hope is my upcoming call for corrections.... Great boots that I've been wearing to my current job where I'm on my feet most of my 9 hour shift

Looks good but I think they changed the type of leather on the toe part of the boots. It's not as shiny and you have to polish it unlike before.

I bought this boot approximately 3 months ago, I owned waterproof 5.11’s prior to that. This is the best boot I have ever owned and when it comes to buying new boots, this is the boot I will purchase again forever. Also, the waterproof boots are not hot, and do not make your feet sweat, and are completely waterproof. I wear these boots for a full 24 hours at a time I sleep in them because I work on an ambulance. So, they are comfortable enough to wear 24 hours, and to sleep in.

Very comfortable boots all around. I changed out the insole, and have worn them non stop since. I've been using them as riding boots and all around normal wear. The only issue that I have is that I wish the laces were longer. They aren't actually long enough to go all the way up the boots.

Excellent price and good quality. Feet are kept dry and warm in North Jersey and NYC winters. Don't know Maine or Alaska. Cumbersome to get in and out of them with zipper down only and laces tied in place. Zipper should run farther down to do the trick as intended, as I hoped.

I have owned two pairs of these now. Im breaking the second in as i write. I owned my previous pair for three years, and the only reason i replaced them was because they no longer keep out water. I never took proper care of them. And i ran in these almost every day. Tough, warm, and durable. These things take a beating. The only thing i ussually replace are the laces( i buy softer 192'' laces. I play violin and don't need more calaces ) i have no issuses at all with these. I will still be using the other pair in the dry summer months. I will always look for the rocky brand when buying boots, because the pair of bates i bought only lasted a year, same style boot. ( i just wish i could get them in white :) )

This boot offers lots of ankle support! I would recommend this product for all law enforcement officers assigned to daily field operations.

I bought this boot a little over a month ago and I have to say that the zipper gets stuck constantly on one of the boots and it takes multiple times before it zips. Also this boot is not comfortable, it hurts the front of my foot badly after only a few days of wear. I figured maybe it was a break in period but now it's worse. I've had Rocky boots before and those lasted 3 years with only minor problems and that was at the end, but I would not get these again. I've been in law enforcement for 21 years and have never had boots this frustrating and uncomfortable. Steer clear.

I bought my first pair of these boots in 2008, and i have purchased 1 pair per year since then. I have loved them untill my last purchase. Recently, rocky has changed this entire boot. the entire sole of this boot is skinnier by over a quarter inch. Honestly these boots used to look very good and make a statement. Now they make anyone wearing them look like tinkerbell. In addition, they also dont fit like they used to. Its very dissapointing that such a quality boot was discontinued in order to obviously cut costs of manufacturing.

I bought these boots for work and they were exactly what I expected. Perfection at it's best!

I love rocky trooper style boots! I am a Firefighter and work a 24 hour shift. These boots have been the most comfortable ones I found. The only downside to the waterproof ones is they don't slip on and off as easily as some other boots.

These Boots are so comfortable, they came already shined and take a new shine very well. Glad I purchased them.

Had the standard jump boots with side zip since 2004 and just recently got the 10" water proof...Amazing. The added insulation also ends up providing added comfort when my foot is in the boot. They look good, they feel good, what more can you ask for!

I bought these a couple of months ago for some nicer uniform boots. I couldn't have asked for better boots. They fit perfectly and look awesome. I wear them almost every day. They keep my feet at the perfect temperature. I only wish they came in composite toe too. I still would buy these again.

Side-zip gusset too narrow, had to cut it open from top to bottom and remove insulation in the area. Trailing edge of toe-cap cuts into top of foot when walking. Inner soles bruise the bottom of feet and too much room inside the toe itself.

This is my second pair and still using my first pair since 2002.

I bought these boots to replace my old danner boots that were on their last legs. Some positve aspects of these boots are that they look good and have good traction. The negative aspects are that the laces are a pain and will loosen while you are lacing them up. If you aren't careful, you'll self induce rope burn. I'd wager replacing them with a thicker boot lace would remedy that issue. The zipper is OK, but has gotten stuck a time or two. As far as your feet staying dry, don't count on it. After a 12 hour shift my feet were soaked, so maybe using goldbond powder and definitely some antifungal powder just to make sure. I'd suggest breaking them in at home before wearing them at work. Overall, I like the boots, but it's the little things that add up. I'd definitely suggest them to my fellow COs and Law Enforcement, as well as Fire/EMS. For the COs, these make it through our metal detector, but may vary with your respective detection systems.

I bought this item for work. Very comfortable boots! I will be buying these again

Love these boots, so comfortable and they look asesome

The good: these boots look amazing and feel great (with an insole for your foot shape). I never got compliments on footwear until wearing these boots. They feel great walking over uneven terrain with basically no worry of ever rolling an ankle. The waterproof feature was their big attraction-point to me and I exploited being able to walk through marsh or pooled water without worrying to much satisfaction. The not-so-good: a surprising number of issues which to arise, just after a year of ownership. . . [see below] I received a pair of these Christmas 2014, and from then until March/April 2016, they were excellent (15mos). I wore this as my daily boot through summer and winter, in the city as well as in cold mountainous terrain in that time. At that point, the side button snaps began to come off the leather tab they're attached to. I called customer service to see if I could have any repairs done or anything covered (although just out of warranty) for this, to no avail. Following that spring into the summer (18mos), I noticed the liner inside the boots was ripping due to the rubbing of my heel against it while hiking. This made putting your foot in to the boot very troublesome, as your heel would drag the ripped liner & insulation down into the boot. One has since been repaired (stitched over with a leather strip) and the other is waiting for the same repair. Around the 2 year mark (Dec 2016), the boots could no longer be considered properly waterproof, as the flexing of the ankle separated the outer stitching of the rear heel-plate from the softer side-leather of the body on the inside-facing sides of each boot. The outsides (2019) appear to remain fine. In 2018, the leather tab which the button-snaps are attached to ripped right off of one of the boots. It was probably not designed for use as a pull-tab to help putting the boot on, but its placement invites this kind of use. Incidentally, the other has not ripped off from this kind of use because the previous liner-repair has a patch of leather which was sewn over the tab's attachment-point. Rocky might want to consider that kind of construction in further designs. Finally—and this has been by far the most frustrating issue—around the 2.5 year mark, one of the metal pull-tabs of the side-zipper broke right off. The zipper slide and the teeth have remained totally functional, but without the tab attached, there's no way to actually grab it and do up that zipper. Before getting them to a cobbler, the most reliable interim solution turned out to be a heavy-duty paper clip which was the only thing narrow enough to slide into the small hole where the tab attaches to the zipper slide. Are these average rates of wear and tear? Did I get a bad pair? I don't know the answer to either of those questions; I do know, however, that my love for these boots eventually came under serious challenge and has gradually transitioned to that of disappointment and frustration. I hope that isn't the trend.

I buy the Rocky Jump Boots for work. They are durable and they polish up nice. I am a Corrections Officer so I like having a pair of durable boots that look good at the same time!

JUST MAKE THEM STEEL TOED!!!! WHY DOES NOT ONE SINGLE MANUFACTURER OF BLACK LEATHER JUMP BOOTS MAKE THEM STEEL OR COMPOSITE TOE????!!!!! I DON'T WANT COYOTE!!!! I WANT BLACK!!!!!!

The insulation is good. Very comfortable I got size 12w and it runs true to size. My only complaint is the zipper this the third pair of rocky boots I've owned and they all have had issues with the zippers getting stuck

I bought these about a year and a half ago, and am glad I did. I was in a motorcycle wreck in late June and ended up in a 40 mph slide. The boots were trashed, but they did their job. The ER doc told me if I hadn't had them on, I would most likely have major foot injuries to add to my broken thumb and road rash. Just purchased my second pair, and will be wearing them when i get back on a motorcycle. Thank you Rocky.

I have now owned and still wear 4 pairs of these boots. I wore them when I was a State Police Officer in Ohio, now retired, and now as a deputy sheriff. These are the most comfortable and functional on the market. Easy on and off. Maintain a required shine, keep your feet dry and warm in winter, and cool in the summer. The vast majority of officers I work with now and in the past all wear this boot for the same reason. I go to the outlet store to buy mine, because I also buy other Rocky merchandise as well. Great job Rocky Brands. You have a customer for life.

Bought this for my service boot. It's comfortable and warm.
