I just bought the Rocky Sneaker......They are like the Cabela' s sneaker on steroids....I was impressed with them....They seem very stout considering they are a sneaker....Don' t worry about the tread....there seems to be plenty of grip there.......I took them out 2 days ago in the morning grass w/ LOTS of dew and had dry feet.......Seem like they are the real deal....so far......
