Rocky Women's Soft Toe Side Zipper Work Boots

After a delayed arrival, I was disappointed to discover that the boots are ugly, poorly constructed, and uncomfortable. The zipper sticks out awkwardly along a weird seam. The stitching along the sole looks cheap. The material looks unfinished along the tongue. The laces are thin and look like they'll snap any minute. I bought these as my new work boots but they're getting returned ASAP! Don't be fooled - they look much better in the photos than they do in person. Not sure how I paid this much for what looks like Shein quality.

I baught a pair of your side zipper jump boots through Galls. When I received them my partner wanted a pair too. She had had a pair of jump boots years ago when she was in the military. I spent fifty years doing heavy duty machine and hand sewing making specialized ice hockey equipment. I gotta say, your boots are A Number One works of art!!!! And my partner and I absolutely love them!! To any potential customer reads this, trust me, you can’t go wrong buying a pair of Rockys Boots!!

I bought my second pair of these boots, my initial pair were fantastic and fit me perfectly. Unfortunately the sole fell off one of my boots while on deployment for Hurricane Helene and had to get new ones while deployed. When I returned home I got my second pair. They looked the same as my initial boots, breaking in was tough and I’ve kept tightening the laces during the break in process which can be lengthy. It’s been a little over a year and I have decent days and than some days where my feet hurt, lately I noticed my feet have a lot of excess room in the boot itself even with tightening the laces as best as I could while still trying to not irritate my calves. Over the last month I’ve noticed increased rubbing to the back of my Achilles tendon and has caused some significant irritation. I double checked my sizes thinking maybe I messed up. But nope, it’s the same exact size, product code, width and all. But for some reason the foot area feels excessively big with too much room for my foot to move around causing my laces to loosen and tighten in different area and now causing pain to the back of my ankles. My last pair were heaven to wear and now I’m having this issue after a year of fully broken in. I feel the quality has gone down from my initial boots 15 years ago.

Cuts the back of your foot.. different then before. Leather is weird stiff right above the ankle like almost plastic. Trying to soften it and have to wear extra socks and tuck in pants. Not the same quality as before. Avoid if you can.
