Description

This Rocky outback's upper was assembled with premium full-grain leather; while it is certainly very soft, the material has great durability and strength. Having a lace-up design on this outdoor boot is fantastic, because it allows you to adjust the fit. This boot has a fully padded collar and tongue to help keep out debris. After all, no one wants to walk around with rocks and dirt rolling around in their boots while they are trying to enjoy their experience outdoors. Gore-tex fabric has been added into the design of this footwear having it ensures that these outdoor boots will remain durably waterproof, breathable and windproof. To enhance your level of comfort within these 8729 boots, a Rocky air-port footbed has been inserted. This polyurethane insert helps cushion your steps and aids in absorbing shock. Are you hesitant about the boot's grip don't be... the outback rubber outsole provides fantastic traction and allows your footing to be steady when you're walking on rugged terrain. Whether you're headed for the hills or going to work, this rugged and good-looking Rocky outback gore-tex outdoor boot (8729) with moc-toe styling will keep you dry and comfortable.

  • Great traction and built to last
Size: 12 Wide Color: Light Brown
These boots were comfortable right out of the box. I use them for work and I work on very rough terrain and they have been comfortable with great traction. Easy to put on and lace up and easy to take off as well. I have no complaints or problems with these boots and would buy them again.

  • Go with the wide if you have average feet
Size: 11 Wide Color: Light Brown
Fit was true, but definitely go with wide. Not a very defined heel, going downhill on wet terrain would probably be a bad idea. Small to moderate amount of time needed to break in. Feet will stay dry, save for sweat buildup. It will be necessary to change wool socks every so often. Completely waterproof, but water does not bead off the surface. Wet spots will eventually dry. ****Another reviewer suggested spraying the boot with waterproofing spray to prevent the boot from becoming heavier after soaking in water. But I found no difference in weight, maybe it would be easier to tell between a wet boot and a dry boot if you were fatigued enough from walking. Very tough but supple sole. Although, it’s not as thick so those with underdeveloped ankles, underdeveloped foot muscles or just bad feet may feel that the support is lacking over long hikes/rucks. Very good ankle support, there were several instances where the boot gave me the opportunity to correct my footing before I rolled an ankle. Overall, a very good construction that can be expected of the Rocky brand. ... show more

  • 60 miles and two hurricanes later and still going strong
Size: 9.5 Color: Light Brown
I purchases these boots to help with my growing hiking hobby not too long ago, but I've refrained from giving a review until I'd given them a proper test or two. Nature decided that'd be quite a few tests. Comfort: These boots are nothing special as far as comfort goes. They have decent support but nothing great. They broke in nicely and fit comfortably snug (a desired trait in hiking boots). The toe flexes without pinching or crushing my toes. The soles provide decent support, but I would personally recommend using some aftermarlet insoles such as Dr. Scholl's if you intend to wear these indoors for any longer period of time. My only complain with the comfort is that the ankle is more flexible than I'd prefer, which can result in a rolled ankle or two if I'm not extra cautious when hiking in unsteady terrain. Waterproofing: The goretex layer within the shoe works as intended. I've tread through shin-deep water, with the water line hardly an inch from the top of the boot's tongue and had no leaks whatsoever. The downside of this is that, in order to achieve such a seal, the boot does not breathe at all. It is important to note that this will be an issue for any waterproof boot. Just be ready for hot sweaty feet on warm day hikes and cold sweaty feet on cold day hikes. I've found that water wicking boot socks help mitigate the sweat build-up on warm days and wool or thick wool blend socks help for the cold days. Durability: This, I think, is where these shoes really shine. I've walked through streams and puddles, trekked in rain and hail, and hiled over gravel and boulders in these, dropped knives on them (I don't recommend testing their cut resistance, but they should hold against a dropped tool), spilled oil and stain, fended off my wild pup, and beaten the snot out of these boots. In other words, I've put these through the ringer. hey're tough as nails, with only wrinkles and mild discoloring from the water and a few scratches to speak of. Summary: These boots are beyond excellent for the price point. With the proper socks for the job and possibly an aftermarket insole, they'll last you for as long as you need them without taking a tole on your feet. I'll definitely be looking at other Rocky brand boots for my next pair- if I ever need to replace these. ... show more
