I’ve been wearing these boots on duty for two years (3 seasons) and I really like them. They have more tread than the C4R which I’ve also worn (that’s my only gripe with that model, great for asphalt but not great on anything else), but the tread is not as aggressive and robust as the S2V, which isn’t really necessary for policing (although they were my go-to in the infantry). The boots breathe well, offer good ankle support, the foot bed supports my high arches and wide feet without hotspots, and the feel closer to the combat-style duty boot than that of a running shoe, which is what I was looking for. I work in a dry/arid area, and I’m not a fan of Gortex unless it’s wet or cold. My first pair blew out one of the lace hooks but customer service dealt with it promptly and effectively. I doubt they’ll last for 5 years, but they’ve lasted 2 and that’s when I get my next boot allowance. These are probably going to be my go-to 3 seasons duty boots for my career.

If you work in corrections, or any other job requiring you to clear a metal detector, these will not clear. They are light weight. The insole offers zero support and is very stiff. I've had several different Rocky boots, and these are definitely not up to the quality I expected.

I bought these boots and when i got them the left boot didnt fit quite right the right boot however fit exacty as expected as o have owned 4 other pairs of rocky boots. When i called customer service i was met with the utmost professionalism and was offered refund or replacement without any issues. Ive always liked rocky boot and the customer service has cemented me as a customer for life. My only criticism is that i wish rocky made all of their shoes in the us id even pay the extra for them. My product rating is based on the one boot that fit well and all past boots ive owned. I am sure that the issue boot was a manufactureing error.

Very light weight boot. Wears like a sneaker but seems very durable. Only issue is I work in the corrections side of law enforcement and this boot will not clear the metal detector!

I bought these boots just a few weeks ago and have worn them on duty a couple of times. They seem to be everything you would expect out of a Rocky boot. Great price doesn't hurt either!
