Men's Waterproof Storm Surge Toe Boot

I can wholeheartedly say I absolutely love these boots! I just received my second pair after wearing my first ones as daily drivers for about five years. They held up incredibly well! Only recently did they start coming apart enough for me to finally order a new pair. These boots have been through it all: long work days, miles of city walking, and even deep puddles in torrential rain, and my feet have always stayed completely dry. The waterproofing is outstanding! They’re also stylish enough to wear anywhere, and I’ve gotten countless compliments on them over the years. The fit is excellent, they’re super comfortable, and I can’t wait to break in this new pair. If you’re on the fence, trust me…these boots are worth it!

This is a great shoe! The style is casual. The weight is not even noticable to me. The color I got was a matte black that is exactly what I expected. The size runs a little big. I had a 12 wide the first time I got these, when I was ready for a second pair (my first ones turned into work boots) I went for a 11.5 wide. The fit is perfect (a little tight with wool socks). If you like this style you will definitely love these.

I love these boots. I knew I would, as I already had them in brown and wanted a black pair. My issue is the way they mailed them. They showed up in one of those thin plastic like envelope things and the box was absolutely destroyed. Besides that, these have most likely been sent out to someone else before me. That's fine, if you try on shoes in a store, chances are someone else has tried them on. But they showed up dirty. The bottom of the boots has stuff all over them and the tops of the boots had some scuffs. Overall, I would recommend these....they are comfortable, will withstand water, look good, etc. But come on Rockport, at least make sure they are clean before you mail them out and think about giving the box a little more protection, as I know you would have blamed me if I had sent them back.

Rockport quality shows up again. Out of the box comfortable boot. Size fits exactly as expected. Expecting years of wear out of these boots. Haven’t actually checked waterproof but have no doubt they will be dry. Would buy again but don’t expect to need to for years. Worth the money.

UPDATE 2: So they got back to me after a couple more emails and shipped me a new pair of boots at the end of Nov '22. It is August 2023 and the same issue has happened. They split at the sole in the same spot as the boots i bought before back in early 2022. I put these boots through normal everyday usage at work (9-5) on a concrete floor. I didn't hike or take them on harsh terrain. Besides the splitting soles, these boots handle my usage just fine- as you can likely tell from the photos. I inquired and sent them current photos of the new boots and an automated massage said the exchange program is no longer active. I wont be purchasing Rockport again if the manufacturer's standards/QC allows footwear that lasts maybe 9 months before degrading and if they will not exchange products for their sub par manufacturing then I'm done with them altogether. Go with Caterpillar or Columbia. UPDATE: it's the end of Oct '22 now and I have yet to receive a reply after they asked for photos regarding my "claim" in Sept. I really liked these boots and they might lose me altogether now if this is their quality standard and customer service standard. Got these boots back in April 2022 and used them as work boots. On my feet most of the time and I do my fair share of moving around and such. I wouldnt consider my job to be a shoe killing type of occupation. These boots had a bit of a break in period but once they were, they were fairly comfortable for me. Now in Sept 2022, I put them on this morning felt the ball of my foot touch the concrete while walking to the truck. There's a rip to the inside sole that goes the width of the right shoe. The left has a smaller crack on the same area. 5 months is all I can get out of this boot? Really? Rockport is a huge well known brand so I contacted them about this issue and I'm awaiting a reply.

The particular work boot that was being used began to fall apart, the stitching was coming undone after about 1 1/2 years. Things as such became unavoidable as the undoing of the stitching allowed water to get in almost without any effort. I had been using a Georgia Work Boot which was OK as a work boot but even when new, the Georgia Work Boot was not waterproof and at best might be said to be somewhat resistant. Like I said it was OK, not much more. The review is not for the benefit of the Georgia Work Boot this review is for the benefit of the Rockport sturdy shoe that I just purchased. I put the shoe on and for a fleeting moment, I thought perhaps the shoe was a 1/2 size to big alas not so as in whatever wisdom I possessed "do not jump to conclusions" and waited unto which time I would start using the boot full time. I'am very glad I did not jump to any foolhardy conclusions as within a very short while the Rockport shoe fit well, that is the half-size was just right and it was a rather excellent feel and fit very soon thereafter. The other care is that the boot features certain terms like Hydro-Shield waterproof, Slip Resistant, Moisture Wicking, thus far almost a full week into steady use in both wet and very cold weather, The boot has performed without flaw. My feet are comfortable, dry, with a shoe that with not much help seems to be an all-around excellent shoe. I do not have a reservation with a company like Rockport with shoes like this sturdy plain toe boot representing what I wanted.

The shoes came nicely individually wrapped in a box. They fit perfectly, my size is 43EU. The quality seems good, however, I haven't given them a proper wear yet. I bought them for a trip to Russia this winter and I guess I'd need something waterproof. As for the material, it doesn't look or smell or feel like leather to me as declared in the description. It may be some kind of artificial leather-like material to repel water. For the time being I've been wearing them around the house to see if there are any faults. So far, they feel quite comfortable. As for the looks, they look like the ones in the pictures.

It’s beautiful , light weight and stylish but feels that leather will wear off early

Great shoes for anything from a night out to a hike. You'll always look smart. And easy to clean.

The leather is a bit stiff.

Sent the wrong size so can’t review however they looked strong
