Boots are great. They hold up to everything I’ve put them through, and are very stain resistant and waterproof. The Rocky customer service is awesome, very fast and stand by their warranty. I had the lace retainer tear through the leather that houses it, and they’ve going to replace the boots. The process, amazingly, took about 24 hours to get the return/replace confirmation. I’m very pleased with these boots. And they’re made right here in the USA!This is my sons second pr. the first pr lasted over a year until the inside toe area split open. He loves them, wears them every day all day.They fit like all my other 10.5 redwing boots. They are comfortable and look like they will hold up.
