ROCKY Men's Portland Lace-to-Toe Waterproof Public Service Boots

I have been a fan of Rocky Boots going way back to my time at the police academy in 1991. i recently purchased a new pair of Rocky Portland Waterproof Public Service Boots. They are exactly what I have come to expect from Rocky. They are comfortable, durable and yes, waterproof. Well done once again Rocky.

I don’t remember my exact purchase date but I know it has not been a year. I love these boots. They are very comfortable. The only complaint I have is that the boot heel has separated. I have to glue it back to make it work. I purchased these same boots in 2012 and they were absolutely amazing. I use them to go through a fire department rookie school and put them through abuse every day. The boots held up great. I was expecting the same result this time. But we have a small flaw. It is ok, I will order another pair because they are very comfortable 15 wide boot. The only other thing I did to these boots, is change out the insole.

I boughtbthem because they looked like they were comfortable to walk and stand in during my 12hr shifts. The most painful part about these boots was breaking them in from the ankles up. The leather was just too freaking hard and painful to walk in rubbing against my flesh had to keep the laces tied at my ankles because anuly higher caused immense pain. I tried many softening Solutions but it took a while like a couple months to finally get them soft enough to not cause pain while I'm walking .as for the soles, they are very comfortable but wear down very fast causing you to not have any traction if you walk up ramps, or on really smooth cement or floors, they also started falling apart at the threads causing the sides of the boots to open as I walked. They actually provide about a good 5 months of comfort after the leather from the ankle up gets soft. After that the threads start popping and the soles wear out. I wouldnwaste my money on these again. Very painful and very disappointing.

I loved this boot! Right out of the box it was everyday wear comfortable with no break in needed. I say "loved" this boot because they stopped making the waterproof side zip in the all black boot. I have such a high instep, for me, trying to put on a pair of lace ups (since the tongue is sewn to the top) is like trying to put on a cowboy boot that is 3 sizes too small. Rocky please bring back the side zip, I know you said you could point me in the direction of a comparable boot, but I don't want a comparable, I WANT THIS ONE!!! in a side zip :)

I bought these boots in 2010 and had to replace the soles a couple of times. Now in 2024 I need another pair. I wore them for end work - 24 hour shifts 3 days a week, we’ll worth the money 14 years ago, never thought they would last this long!

I just got these boots today. I've always loved Rocky Boots, I have several pairs for work. This pair will be for when I'm in my civis, they're not insulated that's fine I have several insulated boots(400,600,800gm). These boots are for the heavy rain down pours or warm days where the snow is starting to melt and the ground is slushy. I like that they're full grain, I can shine my boots and keep them protected from the elements. My only concern is they are not padded on the tongue or around the shins. The tongue are gussetted to keep water and debris out.

I bought my 3rd pair of these boots and they are not the same as the others. The quality has definitely gone down hill. The leather wont shine like the others and wears faster too. The sole is also separating from the boot on the side as well. I used to wear these on the road in all weather conditions and never had an issue. Now, I wear them in an office and they are falling apart. I used to recommend these over the Danner Acadia because they were lighter, more comfortable and cheaper; not anymore.

I have had these boots and have worn several time Seem to be well builti and comfortable

I bought these about a year ago. They were on back order then, probably due to Covid, and received them after a month or so. They were stiff out of the box, which is to be expected from leather boots, yet comfortable at the same time. My issue came at about eight months when the sole at the seam started to separate ever so slightly and there was a white ring around sole of my boot. This place me out of uniform policy for my profession. I returned these to the place I purchased them per the request of a Rocky rep. I have now been waiting months for them. I was told today after I contacted them it would be another month or more to receive the new pair covered by warranty. I am not sure if Rocky excepts their customers to buy other boots to get them by for months; or do as I have and wear boots that hurt my feet that I replaced in the first place for a the Rocky's. I'm not sure what the answer is but this Ridiculous.

I bought a pair in the early 2000's and they were great. I had them resoled numerous times, still comfortable, still waterproof. I recently decided 20 years was long enough and bought a new pair. The new ones are garbage. They're not waterproof, the materials are cheaper, and the soles were falling off both boots within a couple months. 0/10 would not buy again. I plan on resoling the 20-year-old pair and tossing these in the trash.
