I' ve used Rocky boots for the last 8 years now and have had no problems with them. The biggest problem I' ve seen is there is no single boot that is suited for every situation. I have a pair of uninsulated snake boots for turkey and early bow season. I have a pair that has 400 grams of insulation for late bow/early rifle and another pair with 800 grams of insulation for cold weather. My advice would be to try on just about every pair of boots that you can find and buy the ones that fit you best.
