The absolute worst boot I've ever owned. I wore them one day, brand new out of the box, and the heels on both boots delaminated and started falling apart in chunks. I bought them as replacements for my Thorogoods which lasted 5 years before the soles and heels wore through. So the 1 year warranty was up when I started wearing them. What the heck is that material used for the heels? I salvaged the bootstrings and the boots went right in the garbage. I will never again buy Rocky's,

Many years ago I purchased the Eliminator when it came with a Goodyear Welt. After a couple years I needed to replace the sole and it was almost a brand new pair. I went through a divorce and my Ex tossed them out. These had been the most comfortable footwear I had ever owned. I purchased another pair but they no longer came with the same sole. It was glued on. This pair lasted about 18-20 months and then became trash. I was gifted another pair of the same boot in the wrong size and they sit in my closet. Hopefully Rocky returns to the original quality and design needed for the working public.

It’s hard to give a worthwhile review when I just opened the box, but right away I noticed the shoe lace quality has been downsized. It’s like pulling on two pieces of dental floss to get them snug. I’m replacing the laces ASAP. Otherwise, initial quality seems good. I’ve had several pairs of these over the years and found them to be warm (but not hot…even below zero), lightweight, comfortable, and easy to lace up. However, every pair that I’ve ever owned has had the soles disintegrate long before the rest of the boot showed much wear. If this happens again, this’ll be my last pair.

I wore them on a cold and wet day the first time and my feet were cold and the gortex leaked want to know if I can return them very disappointed
