Rocky Boots

RE: Rocky Boots
I took a nearly new pair of Rocky boots to Alaska a few years back. By the end of the 1 week hunt, chunks were coming out of the soles and they were a dull green instead of camouflague. And the bottom of my feet were burning from bolding hopping with such flimsy soles. Never again will I buy Rocky boots.

RE: Rocky Boots
I've had about 10 pairs of Rocky's all makes and models and have never had any soles fall apart. Only four of the 10 pairs I liked though. For me all but one pair has leaked. I still have my original Bear claws from '96 and the soles are fine. I never had any problems with the soles just the gore tex. I have been leaning away from them because even though they are cheaper if they aren't waterproof they are much good.

RE: Rocky Boots
OH man my Grizzly did exactly the same thing! Cost 52.00 to have new soles put on them I had only worn them 3 or 4 times in about 4 years. Because the are to hot. I have a pair of upland boots they are ok and a set with 400grams they are ok to...But I am with you guys these are my last bunch.....

I would have never believed all the Rocky boot problems.
Bchunter62 you said I to have a pair of bear claws that the soles came apart emailed rocky several times I never got a reply.Never again will buy a pair of rockys
I emailed them and I waited a few days.I finally called them. After talking to them I finally got a email reply.
It would have been 40.00 to put the Rocky replacements on. After the shoemaker warned me the replacements would end up doing the same I paid10.00 more and got a good pair of soles put on. That might be your best bet.Rocky won't do anthing but send you inferior material soles that might last a year or so if you're lucky.And you'll have to pay to have them put on.

RE: Rocky Boots
THis is all to funny to me, my g/f works at a shoe store that sells rockys.. she tells me that at LEAST 2 people per day bring boots back for various problems.. most common LEAKING when they say waterproof, an as mentioned the soles coming off.. most have pwned the boots less than 6! months. but i kinda like it when they bring back the "leaking boots" if there my size she pays 10 bucks for them an brings them home to daddy(i love my lil lady) lol. like snow seal an there waterproof again.

My pair of Rocky's where waterproof but if i walked more than about 1-2 miles my feet where done for the rest of the day and part of the next, had some loose threads in the uppers. I gave'em to my brother in law to use 4 wheelin or somethin. I'm looking at Irish Setters right now.
