ROCKY Men's S2V Waterproof 400G Insulated Military Boot

The shoes are comfortable, have great traction in the snow, and are great with waterproofing. The only downside is it underperforms in below freezing conditions. With 3 days in the field, wool socks, and these boots in the field I could not feel my toes nearly the entire time because of how weak the insulation performs. Average 10-15 degrees F ambient air temperature. Great for above freezing conditions I will never take these boots out again for below freezing. Used for military use in winters of europe. Resulted in frost nipped toes.

Great middle weight water proof boot. I would give 5 stars if Rocky offered arch support options. Replacement insoles with arch support don't work because none of them can perform the function of Rocky's insole. ROCKY MAKE INSOLES WITH HIGH ARCH SUPPORT!

Unfortunately for me my experience did not go well. Immediately after receiving my pair I noticed they did not match. One was significantly darker and a different feel look on the surface. I got that one replaced and they still didn't exactly match but I did't care because it was close enough for these kind of boots. Then 6 months later or so one of the boots started coming apart. The other held up well. Not even once in rough conditions or water before it started to come loose.

I’ve been wearing these boots for work. I’m a truck driver and get in and out of the truck 30-40 times a day and walk through a lot of mud and water and these boots are holding up great and very comfortable.

I have worn these boots now a dozen times and can’t believe how comfortable they are. Great arch support and feel. The heel design makes it easy to walk in which adds to the overall comfort and ease. These are by far the most comfortable pair of boots that I have worn in 45 years .

I wear a 12 - 12.5 wide in all my boots / shoes and these boots are a minimum of 1.5-2 sizes too small. And they were in no way "wides." I ordered the other 400 g insulated S2V in a 13 wide too give Rocky one more try and they were still too snug for comfort and even more uncomfortable overall. I think the insoles are oversized to compensate for the poor construction in the footbed of the boot. Especially, toward the front, where you can feel pronounced ridges in the footbed. Overall, an extremely uncomfortable boot with an incredibly overpadded tongue. A well padded tongue can be a good thing but, for these it doesn't allow for a comfortable wrap around the lower shin. Instead, its doubled up on both size and too bulky to cinch the boot as tight as they need to be to fit about the ankle for necessary support and still be tolerable. Honestly, I am not sure what all the hype is about these "Military" / Berry compliant monstrosities; they were NOT well thought out when designed nor likley were they ever tested. Not sure about their military application other than their color; and maybe the fact they are "visually" approved for military dress. I was an avid athlete and hunter my entire life, and I would not wear these! The price really is a non-issue. Like most of you, I will spend more to get better, but folks, I just don't see it. I have a twenty plus year old pair of Rocky Bearclaws and they are still phenomenal in their quality and overall design, unlike these.

I read different reviews and said the best boot ever, so that’s why I got these. I am not totally happy with them, they are hard to break in and make my feet tingle, so I do not recommend them but I do appreciate that the US MILITARY uses these.

I've been buying these exact boots for years and loved them. But I just bought a new pair of 12 wide like always and they weren't even close to fitting. If you're going to buy a pair then get ready to return them because the size will most likely be wrong.

I bought these boots and the sole has already separated from the boot. These boots are 4 months old. I bought these boots for work in the winter. They were waterproof for the first month before they started leaking a little. The boot itself has held up great, they still look new. The boots did keep my feet warm when it was not wet outside or snowing. I bought these boots for warmth, waterproof, and durability.

My initial impression on quality is these are better than my Belleville and Danner boots. Build quality is 5 stars. My only complaint about the quality is the laces- for the price these boots cost they are junk. The low heel to toe drop, roomy toe box and excellent insoles make these very comfortable boots IF they fit. However that will likely be a major issue because unless you have enormous calves at the 8" height, you will not be able to tighten these boots and there is excessive extra material bunched up in the front. At the top height of the boot my calves are skinny (11.0") but these are ridiclous. If your calves are not at least 13" the 8" height you dont stand a chance of tightening them. I asked two others that wear the same size shoes as me to try these on and they both had the same issue. I do not have this problem with my Belleville, Danner, or Tactical Research boots. The other issue with sizing is that they are way off from all other manufacturers. I wear a 10.0R in all of my other boots, tennis shoes, and dress shoes but needed an 11.0R in these. Worth noting that I am 6'1" 195# wear 34x32 jeans and 44" chest so I am not a pencil thin guy. Measure your ankles before buying!! If in the unlikely event these will fit you they are 5 star boots.
