I live in the town where rocky's used to be made they was good boots but now they suck had several pair that the soles rotted off old factory is still there but its just a outlet store now most of there boots are made in china now my opinion is greed took over quality Ive had new work shoes that i had in the closet I bought 3-4 pair got a discount on them cause my sister worked there and wore them 1 day and they fell apart took them back and they said u didnt wear them the soles just crumbled thats why u only get like a 6 month warrenty on them u cant store them cause they dry rot
