I have had two pairs. The first lasted about 12 years finally had to get rid of them becuase the soles were falling apart, they were still waterproof as I could stand in water and they were fine. I got a new pair for my birthday, wore them in turkey season. Love the Rockys

use to hunt with them all the time. but now i use redwing boots very nice boots and they hold up longer than rocky. the quality of their boots went down hill after they move off shore for cheap labor.

i have a pair of 1000 gram thinsulate Rocky SuperBrutes that are on there 9th season and still waterproof and in decent shape, i have heard numerous guys complaining about Rocky boots not holding up' but all i can say is as long as i can get Rocky boots i will never buy any other brand.

I have two pairs (Snow Stalker Extreme and Deer Stalkers) Warmest and driest boots I've ever owned! I wont buy anything else.

Bought my first pair in 1993. Second in 2001 - only due to wanting (take note that doesn't read: needing) some more insulation Bought a third pair in 2004 - due to a great sale. Mrs. Zig opted for her hiking/casual boots to be Rocky.
Can't say we've had any regrets, or any reason to "try" another brand.

First pair leaked after about three weeks. Second pair the soles fell apart like MLB's did. I'd never own another pair of Rocky's. Especially after they said the same thing to me like they did to MLB. Poorest product backing I ever experienced

One pair of my Rocky boots the soles fell apart, literally! I called the company as I had them for only 2 years, they said they couldn't do anything, I ended up taking them to a shoe repair place where the guy put all new rubber soles on them, he did good work. not too much longer, mrlongbeards rockies did the same thing!He threw his out though, now I'm a little leery if I get any other rocky boots.

The old Rocky boots were a bargain. I wouldn't give you 50 cents for the new ones. Had 2 pairs fall apart in 3 years. Their warranty sucks.
