mens Black Comfortable Made in America Military Boots

I have owned this boot in Tan and Coyote. I wore them while in the Army and on deployment. I was looking for new boots for my Civilian job as a Correctional Officer. The job is demanding on your feet, I stand, walk and climb stairs all day. I have had many, many other boots over the last 17 years in the job (Bates, Magnum, Belleville, Nike, Oakley and multiple pairs of the Rocky Paraboot). In the military I have had the typical Standard Issue and Danner’s. Although once I switched to the S2V’s, I concluded pretty quickly.. I will never buy another boot. I was unaware that they came in Black, so I purchased these for my Career in Corrections. I am typically in a 9 running shoe, measured at an 8 - 8.5 wide by the computers in the running shoe stores, that said.. I ordered a 8.5 medium or normal (not wide boot) and they fit me perfectly. Pros: pretty much no break in period (very very little discomfort above the Achilles, went away after day one) , boots are very well constructed and feel like the equivalent of a running boot. -although the black seem to be stiffer than the Tan/Coyote (Completely different leathers) I think that they breathe well, I am in AZ and don’t have an issue with them being too hot in the AZ Summer. Cons: you will read over and over that the tread does wear faster then “normal” boots. These last at most 2 years, the Rocky Paraboot comes in best at about 4 years. I find that the price is worth paying for the comfort these boots provide .. 2 years is more than enough time that you should probably replace your boots anyhow.

I LOVE THESE BOOTS SO MUCH I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM. I'm an urban commuter and I find these boots very useful wearing them to work, school and even the gym. I wore these boots until they completely fell apart. These boots lasted 2 years with moderate use. Try to avoid getting the boots wet as I believe this speeds up the wear process. Even gotten a few compliments wearing them. They look amazing and provide excellent ankle support. The only downsides to these is that it's a bit too pricey that's why I won't be repurchasing until the price drops back down and you have to break them in. It might take a couple of wears to do so successfully.

I’ve had these for about two months and they’ve help up extremely well. They’re great hiking boots and work well as work boots (they’ve put up with landscaping and fast food). I don’t have any real complaints about the design but I also haven’t put enough miles on them to say they’re perfect, I’ll update this review later.

very heavy boot

Bates. Belleville. Neither have felt near as good as these babies do. These Rockies are pricier than them for sure, but hell, they've been worth it so far. My feet don't sweat near as much, my shins don't scream in pain like they used to, they have some damn nice grip, and I even feel more nimble with these by comparison. Only concern I can see with 'em is the lack of a steel toe, but frankly, I can do without them in my current line of work. They feel a bit puffy and somewhat stiff when you first use them, but that feeling quickly goes away after some use.

I had the tan and coyote brown versions when I served and absolutely refused to go to another boot. When I left and got a job that required black boots the very first thing that I thought of were the rocky's. Great fit, great support, and will bet my life on these to perform every time I need them too.

Their simply awesome. Loved them in desert tan and in black leather.

overly expensive for how long they last (about a year) but Oh, so very comfortable. Like wearing tennis shoes.
