Men's Rocky Outback Gore-Tex Waterproof Boot

I will give this boot a 99.9% rating. If it had a hiking boot sole it would be perfect. Love them!

These high quality boots are very well made. The size was correct and they fit very well,

I love these boots. My grandfather wore a pair for 5 years every single day and the soles still looks great. He loves these boots so much that he went ahead and bought two more pairs. Now he says he’s set until he dies these boots will be his last boot he owns. He bought me a pair because I needed a pair and I had Rocky’s before and I didn’t like them. But I was wrong these are insanely good quality boots that will last a very long time with a very affordable price tag compared to other brands! You ċant beat it!.

I have only used them a month or so and they’ve been holding up great so far, no issues climbing into a tree stand and all around great all terrain boot, easy to lace up and feels very secure, no issues so far

I have put about 20 miles on them so far. The gore-tex works. Feet dry and comfortable even with fording small creeks. Good support and nice toe box feel with thin or thicker Sox. Wasn't sure if the tongue was going to be sewn in high enough but it is. Good stitching and seams. Soles give good support and traction. I'm impressed with boot for quality and price.

1st time purchasing rocky boots. They had my size in wide which I was very happy about. Been wearing these boots for a few weeks. And they are extra comfortable compared to a lot of other boots I've tried. Will probably stick with these for a while and see how they hold up. 👍💪🏽

This was the fourth pair of these boots I’ve bought. I wear them 6 days a week and they are the most comfortable and long lasting work boots I’ve ever had. All have been waterproof up to the very end. By the time the leather wears out the eyelets become sharp and the laces start coming apart. The soles could probably wear out another set of uppers. I’m a farmer and this job is about as tough on shoes as it gets

The most comfortable boots you will ever own - they require ZERO break in. The are light weight, non-insulated and waterproof (Goretex). I’m on my fourth pair of these boots.

I have used these boots for a wide variety of trade work And lifestyle sporting and have put them through the ringer doing it best all around boot imo all I’ve had last 10 years and don’t plan on changing

I bought these boots several months ago. I have noticed one problem with them. The lace hooks are extremely weak. If you sit with the boot under you. The hook will bend and pinch the laces. I am waiting for the lace hooks to break from having to bend them back into the right position. Outside what I have stated. They are extremely comfortable.

With less than 11 months of use, I am doing my review of this boot. First of all, let me say I am a fan of Rocky's footwear. Let me say that this is one good looking boot with comfort in mind. Let me begin with the positives. POSITIVES: This is premium full-grain leather that has shown durability, especially in the hot Arizona desert where I live. The lace-up design has worked well for me. I have had no issues and helps adjust for a well-fit. The GORE-TEX has worked for me. Although, I primarily use it in dry conditions. I have hiked in the California wet forests and the cold Colorado Rocky Mountains and they have kept me dry. The insert has been very comfortable without much wear. The positive aspect of the outer sole is the traction. It has been awesome and tread wear has been moderate considering the terrain I use it in. NEGATIVES: The outer soles on both feet have cracked with 11 months of use and are now beginning to hurt my feet when I step on uneven terrain and are now beginning to hurt my feet. Although the inner soles still feel very cushioned, it seems that the cracked outer soles have compromised the bottom protection against rough terrain or uneven surfaces. Also the stitching on a seam of the left boot came apart and the same is beginning to happen on the right boot. The leather has held very very good. It seems to be an issue with the stitching. CONCLUSION: I have just contacted Rocky Mountain Customer Service via email regarding warranty of this boot. Depending on the solution, I will keep this post updated and might change the rating of this boot.

What makes this boot a winner for me is the fourth eyelid going up. It lays wider than the rest of the eyelids and most importantly; it rests right at the pivot point of the foot. This helps because I have used other boots with all the eyelids in-line and they bother my nerve at the pivot point on my foot. In my opinion; all tall boots should have the fourth eyelid placed behind the foot joints so that you can flex the foot naturally as these boots have. Most perfect made boot.

I bought these for a backcountry trail work season, which entailed long daily hikes and backpacking heavy loads for 10 days at a stretch through mud, scree, talus, sand, snow and ice. I lived in these things. The Good: These boots are super comfy right out the box. No break-in required, comfy as a pair of slippers, ankle support is great for heavy loads, sole was nice and grippy in everything but ice and they were decently breathable. The fit was right too, they accommodated foot swelling while also being snug enough to where no blisters ever formed. I cannot overstate how comfortable these are compared to other work boots i've had The Not so good: They lasted me for the season and that's all. That's June to November, not even a year of daily use. The lace hooks have a tendency to bend a little, I had to use pliers on one to be able to free my lace. The underside of the eyelets also have a tendency to fray your laces after a while( there's a small portrusion right around the rim that i ground down after i went through two pairs of laces). The waterproofing will not last for very long, that one small seam near the toebox will be the first to split open. There isnt much support on the insole. Tread isn't very aggressive and flattened out in high-wear spots relatively quickly although the grip didn't suffer THAT much. Now, I don't know if I just walk weird or what but in the last month of wearing them, the soles actually bent outwards on both boots, forcing my feet into a weird uncomfortable position. In summary, so very comfortable but durability suffers because of it. Probably would be really good for casual outings, just not trail work

I’ve been buying this boot for years and it was fantastic. You change the soles of them now the suck. Used to be a soft sole now it’s hard as a rock. Very slippery in snow conditions, makes a lot of noise when walking. Sorry to say but this is my last pair.

I have worn these boots the last 2 years in the mountains of NM and CO elk hunting, NY chasing whitetails, and in PA also chasing whitetails. They are the best boots I've ever owned. No foot blisters, AND waterproof. They are like wearing sneakers in the woods. Please ROCKY, never stop making them, but I bought a second pair just in case.

Very comfortable, could be more durable. They felt like slippers out of the box, and I like the minimal heel drop. The waterproofing didn't last long and the stitching started really falling apart after a year and a half. Hoped they'd last a bit longer, but overall a good run. Time for an upgrade. Especially since Rocky makes boots for cops, so, hey, another reason to get real American stuff from Redwing instead.

The first pair of this boot I had was amazing, so comfortable, water proofing worked well, I worked in them, hiked in them, even slept in them. I had my first pair and they lasted FIVE years. wonderful. Now with that said, i bought another pair, and they're junk, they don't even feel like the same material. They lasted a year and are in worse shape than the ones I wore for five years and i'm extremely disappointed.However, they are still very comfy, but they are not water proof, any bit of rain my feet are soaked, even when they were new. i loved this brand but now im shopping somewhere else as it seems they have cut corners on good products.

I bought these boots a couple of months ago and the soles are falling off. All the stitching around the soles are coming loose. They are one of the most comfortable boots I have worn but very disappointed in the quality of the boots. I wish I had kept my receipt so I could return them or swap them for another pair. I was really excited about the boots when I bought them. Now full of disappointment.

Bought 2 pairs and I'm still on my 1st even after doing 70 hrs a week doing demolition work. Will keep buying from now on

Very happy with boots. Service was excellent and delivery was quick.
