Greatest boots!,November 6, 2007
By TTTTfrom Florida
"These boots have the winning combination of zippers and laces to get you in and out fast while allowing for a customized fit with a simple adjustment of the laces. I have worn other brands of boots similar to these, but none are as comfortable or long lasting as the Rocky brand. Good tread on the sole, very waterproof, and the snake proof feature is true to it's word. If these ever wear out, I'll buy the same pair again!"

Rocky zipp up boots,September 20, 2009
By DogHunter19from Ellabelle, Georgia
Disadvantages: Quality, zipper performance
"These boots are not reliable, they do not stay together and the zipper on the side does not zipp up all the way and is very irratating.. Do not buy any rocky boots with zipper. Buy lace up and you will get what your looking for, unless your looking for a bad boot!"

Great boots,September 19, 2009
By MrXBowfrom Central California Coast
Advantages: Comfortable, Quality, Style/Design, True to fit, Value for money
"I've only owned these boots for a month, but I've worn for at least several hours daily since they arrived, with no visible signs of wear and tear. They are most definitely waterproof (Goretex is *the* stuff) and they've already saved me from one snake bite.
I live on 20 rattlesnake-infested acres of foothills in Central CA, so I bought them more for working on my property than for hunting. It was like walking on egg shells trying to avoid the dam** snakes. Now I can walk with confidence, and can get to places I wouldn't have dared to go before.
As for those who reported premature zipper failure, note that no zipper does well trying to draw both halves together under stress when zipping up. If you lace these up snugly to the top, and then expect the zipper to close under all that load, you are begging for it to fail! (Consider that laces enjoy at least a 2 to 1 mechanical advantage, probably more like 4 to 1.)
The obvious answer is to untie the laces before zipping up, and then use the laces to tighten to fit after. It may take a bit longer this way but even so the zipper still saves you a great deal of time -- you don't have to unlace half the holes (as you would without it,) merely untie and loosen a little, before you zip.
This precaution avoids doing something zippers were never meant to do, and to me, is a small investment of time into the longevity of these boots. (Basically, just common sense, from my perspective.)
I have no doubt that these will last a long time, and I'm very pleased with this purchase.
(** I realize that's the wrong "dam" -- wouldn't it be refreshing if they relaxed the language filters to be at least no more strict than FCC regs?)"

Warm and Dry,February 12, 2009
By NORTEXHUNTERfrom Denton, Tx
"I have had these for 2 years now. I have the worlds worst ankels. I'll roll an ankle stepping off a curb. I probably do it at least once a month. But I have never had a single problem in the woods with these on. I have been up and down river banks, rocky hills, thorny tangle foot, mesqiute thorns and everything else, nothing gets through these and no ankle will roll in these. I am convinced. And I have been in mud puddles that came up to about 3 inches below the tops, feet stayed warm and dry. I fell through an iced river that was, luckily, down to about 10 or 12 inches of water under the ice, no water in miy boots and I stayed comfortable. I have had small copperhead strike at the ankles of the boot while I was still hunting hogs at night, and these held up. These were by far the BEST addition to my hunting/camping gear that I have ever made. If I ever wear these out, I will buy another pair just like them. But I doubt I will wear these out. Two years later and I have not seen any wear on the soles or on the material. Just and all round great product."

Rocky-Nothing Better,February 7, 2009
By lcole81185from Covington, GA
"You must get these boots, ultimate in comfort. If you spend anytime in the woods you have to have a pair of Rocky boots. Ive bought cheap and high dollar brands and nothing compares to the quality, comfort, and cost of Rockys. I have the same pair of Wellingtons that I wear everyday for over two years and their still going strong. I just bought these boots and i know that i want have to purchase another pair of turkey boots for years."

Rocky® 15'' Rattler Zip Snake Boots,October 8, 2008
By 209encorefrom Southgate,Michigan
"Purchased these boots for a trip in Arizona in Oct 2008. These boot are awesome, comfortable and the break in period was 2 days . After climbing mountains all day while Mt. Lion hunting, the grip on these boots, are the best I have ever owned. Traction on the rocks great. The zippers are the plus at the end of the day just down zip and your out of the boots. Of course the most important reason why I purchased was they protect you from the snakes. The security you feel when wearing the boots lets you keep your mind on the hunt, and not stepping on a snake."

Don't Buy,November 5, 2007
By Zizzlefrom Statesboro, GA
"Do not buy these boots. They are very comfortable, but not long after I got them the zipper messed up and now they are useless. One of my friends did the same exact thing. I would not buy these boots again."
