anyone else take their rockys out of the closet and find, for no obvious reason, that the sole on one or both boot is literally rotting, crumbling, peeling and falling apart. 3 guys in my camp have this issue. i called rocky "customer service" and recieved zero satisfaction!

Yep. Didn't buy new ones, either. I went to another brand.

The soles were so rotten you could dig big chunks off with a fingernail. They probably would've lasted about 50 yards on a hard surface.

Friend of mine showed me a new pair he has had for 3 - 4 years, sitting on a shelf in his garage, soles are disintegrating away.

1 pair was enough for me to avoid them like the plague.

Not only did the soles come apart, the things leaked like a sieve from day one.

My daughter shredded a pair of Rockies in a five-day hunt out here. We haven't given them a second glance since.

1+ on the Elk Trackers even if they are made in China. Took time to break-in, but well worth it.

I agree! My Elk Trackers with 200 grams of thinsulate are the best boots I've owned in years.

I buy a pair of Cornstalker's every year. They don't sit in a closet long enough to deteriorate. They are my farm chore throwaways. Mud, horse and cow manure take its toll.

I had a pair for years when they were made in Ohio and one day the soles just crumbled out from under my feet. I really liked them but I won't buy another pair of Hunan Chicken Chinese Rockys.

Soles on my Bear Claws rotted and they leak, junk plain and simple! I just paid $300 for a pair of Alaska Hunters (Meindel) from Cabela's, worth every penny!

US made Red Wings Or US made Danner's. Unfortunately, Both brands now make some models in China and you have to check the label before buying them.

I've worn these Danner wildland boots for years and now they have discontinued the model. frown

rocky boots...PURE JUNK...if there over a year old there CS dept treats you like a POS, i walked mine down to slicks while hunting, didnt even know they were coming apart till i slipped and busted my tail.

After the hunt, getting back in my pickup i saw little bits of the "tar-ry" soles in the floorboard.
