RE: rocky boots
I can't believe people have had trouble with Rocky boots. Myself and several of my friends have been wearing Rocky boots for years and never had a problem. My last pair of Rocky Cornstalkers lasted 10 years before I did what Davidmil said and melted the bottom of the sole on a hot rock around the campfire in Colorado. My current pair of Bearclaws are 4 years old and have been put through a whole lotta punishment and are still in great shape. I've never seen a more comfortable boot straight out of the box. I've never needed a break-in period for Rocky boots, just put them on and hunt. No blisters, sore feet, etc just comfortable and dry feet from the very first day on.
What type of Rockys have you had trouble with?
