i used to love rockys until my last two pairs ( i bought a second because i thought the first failure was a fluke ) both of them leaked and the soles wore off one of them i one season sent it back to rocky almost 5 months ago and still have not got them back must be the china takeover everyone is talking about i bought a pair of cabela's hunting boots as a tempory replacement just for this season $69 1200 grams it rained the night before opening day of gun season the creeks were overflowing walked in way before sunrise right into ankle deep water that should not have been there walked through 5 creeks to get the buck my buddy shot out that morning used them all season in rain and snow my feet stayed warm and dry i just might ride them out a few seasons and see how long they last even though i already got my money's worth
