Comfortable & Stylish
Hands down the comfortable boot I have ever worn. They are breathable, thus lacking in the waterproofing and insulation department in conjunction with having moderate durability, but what it sacrifices in functionality, it makes up for in style, not to mention it a full leather polishable boot, and American made, you don't see that too often these days. I wore them until the sole grip was grinded smooth, with only mild damage to the front sole. They were misplaced and left to the elements which left them beyond repair. Had this not occurred I wager I could have got two more years of life out of them.

Made in USA But
I have purchased 3 pairs os these boots because they are made in USA. The first pair was great. 2nd and third pair not so much. Sole came unglued on both pairs. The third pair also fit tight above the area where the toe meets the laces. Thought they would break in but did not

Mailman Review
Mailman, all walking route, overtime list. Walking 70-95 miles per week. I wear these boots on off days too. Mostly comfortable boots. Needed replacement after 6 months, but that's about how long most boots last me. The back threads started breaking 4-5 months in, so I had to super glue it back together.

Worst boots I’ve head for this price.
I bought these Rocky TMC boots because they are the only postal approved boots that lace up this high. I am a city carrier and walk 10+ miles per day. I was very disappointed. First off the construction makes it so the boot can only get so tight. I have to order wide because I have a wider foot pad. I don’t know if this is why they make the walls taller and the shaft of the boot shaft, but I’ve never had a shoe’s eyelets touch when tightened up fully. It makes it so I could never really get the boot fully tight feeling around my ankle, which was also complicated by the difficult to use triangle eyelets. For these these the break in period felt especially long. I always figure a good 20hrs or walking will break in most boots but this time felt much longer. Eventually they did break in and it was going good for a a bit but then I started to notice a pain in my heel, turns out they gave me planter fasciitis. Tried replacing their insoles and nothing helped. Finally not even a half year of using these I noticed that that something was catching on the bottom of my feet. I checked it out and turns out the “sole” is a very thin layer of rubber over foam and it was peeling off so I retired them. Would never do them again.

Made American Tough
I bought these boots a couple years back and exposed them to vigorous wear that they ordinary wouldn't experience in the intended profession, I mean I went postal on these boots, and with frequent maintenance and caretaking, it never lost it's shine. Worn practically everyday for two years with only sparce breaks in some of the most unforgiving conditions & the only repairs needed is a resole job. On top of it's durability, these are (and I am not exaggerating this) the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. To make a recommendation to Rocky Boots, if these had a protective toe, were waterproof and maintained that level of durability and comfort. These boots would take over the market.

comfortable walking boot
boot seems to have good arch and ankle support, comfortable for all day walking. the only downside is the laces are very tiny and hard to tie with big fingers and do not stay tied, need to find different laces

Comfortable and durable
I’m a letter carrier with a walking route that is roughly 12 miles long. These are my boots for the job every single time, I won’t wear anything else.

Quality has gone down
I ordered a pair of these boots through a post office vendor. I’ve only had the boots about two weeks and my first time wearing them on a rainy day, the soles are coming apart. Completely soured me on ever buying this brand again. The last pair I had lasted over a year with no issues.

I'm on my third pair in about 12 years
I like that these are made in USA. They are comfortable. Also pretty lightweight for Rocky Boots. I wear these almost every day. Just ordered my third pair in about 12 years.

Postal Boots
I bought these boots for work in October, they’re not terrible, but I probably wouldn’t order again. They were good for the first 2 months even in the rain, but our first snow and my feet were wet and cold (I usually wear my overboots but wanted to see how these would hold up). I would only wear these May-November, but to wear them in the winter I wouldn’t recommend. I would recommend overboots for winter time. This review is mainly for postal workers because I know we’re always looking for the best boot for work. I leave my boots at work so if it lets me edit this I’ll upload pictures when I get back to work. Gave 3 stars because they’re okay as long as it’s not snowing or below negative temperatures (like how this weekend went). Hope this helps you guys!

My go to boot
Letter carrier here with a walking route. Purchased in late October 2018. Worn 6 days a week, walking 10-15 miles a day through various terrains. Finally to the point where Shoe Goo just ain't gonna be able to save this pair as of August 19th 2019. Comfortable although a little on the heavy side. Will be buying another pair without a doubt.

Superior comfort
These boots were purchased in December '18 for mail delivery in Michigan's winter. They are soft and comfortable and somewhat water resistant. Time will tell if the soles last the rigors of a walking mail route as a CCA. Iam happy with the quality after 2 months use.

Limited use, saving them
Good footbed for plantar fasciitis. Look sharp. Wish laces were more substantial.

Very comfortable
I've been wearing this boot for over 5 years and they are by far the most comfortable boot I've wore in my 21 years of service. The only, and I mean only, complaint that I have is with the shoe strings that come with the boot. They are too thin and slick. This causes the strings to unlace every time I put the boot on. I purchase better shoe strings and put them on the boot to avoid this annoying feature.

Good boot
The problem I have had with these boots are the sole. After a year or so from using starts to detach completely from the boot itself. What a shame... nice boots, expensive and so poorly built. Not made to last. I guess... I’m giving Rocky companies one more try. If the sole of this one gets detached again. That’s it!!! No more. Sorry!

(no review title)
Got them as a gift and first day I wore them to work the sole separated from the shoe. Thankfully I work at a plant that has work clean up rubber boots for our freezers. I had to finish my shift in rubber boots.
