Men's Rocky S2V Enhanced Jungle Puncture Resistant Boot

I am on my third pair. I have a high arch and wide foot, so fit is brand specific. I absolutely lived in these (2 rotating pairs) for 2 solid years in Afghanistan. I brought them home and wore them out working in muck doing forestry. They survived machine washing to get Afghan moon dust out 2x, chain saw blade bumps (no damage!) and were comfortable and kept my feet healthy. I bought a replacement pair as my daily work boots. I have work all sorts of issue and hiking boots, and these tick all the boxes - and are light, protective, and comfortable.

I have had these boots for about one year now, and all I can say they are bad! Compared to the price of this you would think this boot has to be the best boot on the market but no it’s not. If you’re just working in the office these will be fine, but once you do ruck matches or repetitive military drills they start wearing down fast. The stitching on the side of the boots rip very easily, and the material they use on the side of the boot starts coming off looking like the boots has hair. Lastly the boots look saggy from the side. Please don’t waste your money.

I am a missionary in the rural mountains of Northern Honduras. My feet are in love with these boots. Great for the tropical environment and for being on your feet 15+hours a day! I am completely impressed with these boots. I can go through boots fairly quickly but these might be a lifer? God bless Rocky Boots!

So I bought these boots in early 2020 because I wanted a lightweight boot for doing PT. I actually hated these boots at first lol. They were extremely uncomfortable for me until I broke them in after a 20 mile (10 in morning, 10 in evening, not 20 in a row I’m not a lunatic) ruck. They have been my most comfortable, and most worn boot since then. 2020-2022 was the end of my military service and I wore these boots for I think 17ish jumps, countless rucks and ranges, and a good number of FTX. They have not torn, ripped, or frayed in any significant way. There is one corner of the area the tongue attaches to the front toe area that is a little frayed, and only because I was caught up in some C-Wire, nothing to do with the actual build quality of the boot. I climbed mountains in Alaska, and waded through muck in the Everglades with these bad boys, and besides a few stains and some wear near the heel of the sole they look like they’re maybe 2-3 months old. I’ve put probably a good 1,000 miles on these boots (not including daily wear like if I’m mowing the lawn and walking the dog after it rains etc etc, I’m taking a purely training and hard wear and use) , mostly outdoors, I would estimate 300 or so miles were on asphalt/pavement. They fit my feet like a glove, and I find them more comfortable than almost every pair of actual shoes I own. I just wish they made them in black too, honestly I would buy like six pairs of it wasn’t for the fact that I’m pretty sure my knees will give out before these boots do. Absolute 10/10 purchase, and even if they did get ruined in the future, I wouldn’t buy any other pair except these right here. They do run a little large. I normally wear a 9, sometimes 9.5 in boot brands but I run these at 8.5 and they fit the same way.

Great quality. Comfortable. A good investment. You will not regret purchasing these boots.

Bought it end of last year in PX. Not heavy use because I just wore it for about 5 month but the shoes started to come apart. Not sure can I send it back to repair because still within 1 year warranty. But the shoes are comfortable during rucking. Good support for the ankle. Just the leather not able to attach the sole/bottom well. And fade to strange color. At first, I am so excited because it is my first ROCKY boot. But now, very disappointed especially the shoes are not cheap. Lost my first impression.

I received these boots as a gift 7 years ago for my canoe tripping adventures. The are definitely the best boots to traverse the elements for this type of adventure... From mud, water, sand, rocks, vegetation, on any type of terrain. Swamps, lakes, creeks, deserts, rivers, mountains and trails. Swimming, portaging and hicking. You name it , they went through it! They are comfortable and light (won't drag you in the water when swimming). Solid and evacuate the excess of water as advertised. They are starting to show signs of use but I have to admit I'm extremely satisfied with them. I will purchase a new pair without hesitation!

I’ve had my pair for about a year now. As long as they sell these, I’ll never purchase a different pair of boots. These boots fit perfect and are highly functional. However, I will admit it took some time to break them in until they fit the way they do now (~1.5-2 months). Originally they dug into my ankle and caused a great deal of pain around that area. At one point I was considering returning them, but I decided to keep working on them and I’m glad I did. I’ve done 12-mile rucks in these without a single blister or hot spot. Prior to these boots, I would always get hot spots and blisters around mile 3-4. With these boots, I don’t have to use any tape, special socks (just a solid quality pair), or powder to get through long rucks. I’m convinced now that you don’t need any of that with a great pair of boots. They’re also light-weight enough to run in for training exercises without any concerns. I have absolutely no regrets waiting it out. I just wouldn’t recommend them if you need them STAT for an event or school.

I love the rocky S2V boots. So I thought I'd give these a try and see if they would last longer. That did not. Within 2-3 weeks I already had the boots pulling apart. They canvas material was pulling out of the stitching. That is why I returned them.

I bought a pair of these boots because they were recommended to me, they were extremely expensive and not worth the money. The eyelets on the ankle dug into my ankle bone and by the middle of the day i would be changing boots out because it hurt to walk if i kept them on. By the time i did break them in two months later, they were busting seams and were unserviceable, always heard good praises of the brand, was was sorely disappointed with the product.

I bought these boots and was initially impressed with them. My feet always sweat in my boots and shoes but not in these. I thought they were perfect. However 3 months into owning them, and only using them occasionally on weekends, one of the seams started to come apart. Then every time wearing them another seam would start to disintegrate. For what I paid I am very disappointed.

I bought this boot a few months ago and keep forgetting to leave a review. It was good and comfortable while they lasted, but there were a couple of issues with the boots: first was the weird seam on my left boot where the tongue met the rest of the boot that was larger than on the right boot, this caused pressure and rubbing on my left foot due to the location of it being right under one of the eyelets, second was the fact that I only wore these boots around the office for a month and a seam tore on the right boot making them unserviceable. The right boot was comfortable, but the left was not with that one spot, but when I was able to get that spot to not be as bad, the whole pair was comfortable but I shouldn’t have needed to do that. And like I said the construction was poor if the seam ripped from just office wear in less than 2 months.

I bought these boots last year, through give and should have posted something then. The stitching busted out of them after wearing them for a month. I wore them everyday. After contacting rocky about the issue, they told me I have to resolve the issue with govx. Govx was able to replace the pair I bought but then the stitching came out of them as well. I eventually replaced these with the SV2s, which I have been wearing for years. I wanted to give these a try but after having issues with two pairs, I decided they aren’t worth it. I go through boots often, due to being rough on them and staining them. I’ll continue to buy rocky boots but will stick with what I know.

I have had these boots (the non PR variant) for about 2 years as a National Guard infantryman and a civilian SWAT officer. They are pretty good boots, but not as good as the original S2Vs. I had a pair of original S2Vs in the old desert tan uniform color and they are much more trustworthy on long ruck marches. Sizing is almost identical to the original S2V. If you are debating between the original S2V and this boot for infantry operations, I would stick with the original S2V. Yes, it's heavier but it's a lot better on the feet. Despite the fact that they are less comfortable than the original S2V, they are just as tough from a durability standpoint. Mine have been through 2 years of very heavy use (including several tough schools) and are just now starting to show signs of wear. You will get your money's worth and it's a pretty good boot, but not as phenomenal as the original S2V in my humble opinion.

I got these for a short time in the Marine corps as an "experiment" they where the best boots ive ever had in my life the soles are just so noby they work better in the jungle and mud then any boot I've used there even the lightest boot I've used great airflow and the soles lasted forever I could use them in the jungle, did great in the desert, clearing buildings the there soft enough to make little noise , even light and comfortable enough to run and hike in through it all the bottoms still look almost new. The downsides are the wire mesh around the air holes and heal support in it both after alot of operating broke threw the inner late and caused alot of pain I had to remove it myself after that it was good it also be nice specially since there jungle boots to be able to get them in coyote brown, sage green and maybe other greens

Got these boot and went to the field felt like they were already broken in good boot to ruck in walked in some creek got them Soaking wet and within about a 12 k I hAd walked them almost dry and by the end of the day after only taking them off to chafe socks they where Practically all the way dry

The One problem I find is the part under the laces it could be removed from the boot and then the boot would be better with some of the Australian military boots it has been removed and they are some of the most comfortable boots you can get

I had a pair of these that blew out on the side of a mountain at Sapper school. The sole just seperated from the rest of the boot. I did love the boot so I went and bought another pair right when I graduated. I just payed for new ones since I didn’t have time to send them in under warranty. Then this new pair blew out under garrison use a few months later in exactly the same way. Instead of sending them in, I wrapped duct tape around the bad boot and used it as an at-home work boot. Unfortunately both pairs lost the left foot. It’s a shame because these boots are incredibly comfortable and light. But I suppose it’s my fault for not filing a warranty claim the first two times, and here I am about to buy a third pair like a clown. Hoping they can survive my new slower-speed job in the Army because they do still feel great to where all day.

I am in NRTOC and I wear these with my type III and so far they have been great. Broke in easy and after the second wear was very comfortable. The only reason it is not 5 stars is due to the fact that after a MCMAPs session with the marines they dirtied very easily and it shows on the toes.

Let me start off by saying this is everything a boot should be. I’ve owned two pairs of these, getting a new set before each deployment. Easily the best boots I’ve owned, even compared to the other S2Vs. Even fit like a glove the first time I tried them on. However, it doesn’t take long before the wire mesh on the inside breaks apart and starts wearing at the leather on the inside of the boot. This wire will create painful splinters that have gotten stuck in my skin requiring tweezers to pull them out. Not ideal when doing long foot marches or when you’re in a situation that doesn’t allow you to deal with that. Therefore, I’ve resorted to using my Gerber to cut the lining just to pull out the wire mesh. Once that was gone, I’ve never had a problem with these boots. I implore Rocky to take a look at this design flaw and preferably remove the wire mesh for good. I will also mention that the heel liner isn’t very sturdy either and the plastic heel backing bit caused the heel lining to wear through and caused painful heel injury. The Army doesn’t mess around when it comes to taking care of their feet.
