Men's Rocky Outback Gore-Tex Waterproof Boot

I bought these boots a year ago and I love them. I don’t want any other boots. Best boots I’ve bought.

Good light weight boot. More for up land or field hunts. Soles are a bit thin so Heavy terrain would be hard on the feet. So far no issues. Size: the difference between the 13 and 14 was a lot. 13 to small 14 a bit big had to use a thicker insoles to get a better fit. Good now. Just returned from a 2 day grouse hunt and feet feel great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a pair of these boots with high hopes since I already wear Rocky work boots I’m quite disappointed. Laces broke within a week,seams started to come loose and sole of left boot started coming loose

These boots fit real well they’re very comfortable plenty of room in the tow box I wear Custom orthopedics inserts and they take up quite a bit of room. There’s still plenty of room in these boots and they’re very comfortable. I definitely buy them again.

They had hardly any arch in them. So my feet hurt to bad wearing them

Good fit, nice quality for the price , need to brake them in

Bought these for fall bird hunting and love them! Lightweight & keeps my feet dry. Very comfortable to wear all day.

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. 👍💪🏽

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.

This is my second pair of these boots. My first pair is about two years old and in great shape. I bought the second pair to keep at a relative's house in Upstate New York where I am right now. The tongue on the first pair was not sewn correctly but I manage to deal with it. Once I received the second pair in inspected the tongues. They were both sewn correctly. Both pair are not insulated but with heavy socks can be worn in this cold weather for a reasonable time. They are very waterproof, but not really snow boots. However, they are excellent three season boots for hiking and working outdoors.

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
