Greatest boots!,
November 6, 2007
By TTTT
from 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 DogHunter19
from 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 MrXBow

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?)"
