Rocky Mountain Combat Boot Review

I am really picky about my shoes. I was issued a pair of Rocky intermediate cold weather boots by the National Guard right before I ETSed. They weren't comfortable and they were all leather So for me they were actually too hot and they made my feet sweat..

To be fair, this was over 20 years ago so they may have improved since then but I wasn't impressed at all.

When I worked here I had a co-worker who I think he was a writer for a Traditional Bow Hunting magazine

He got hunting equipment from various companies and he would wear it work to try it out and review it in the magazine. He absolutely loved Rocky Boots.

Of course, he was testing civilian models.

I've talked about my Bellevilles before so I'm not going to bore you by talking about them again.

I am going to say that I have two pairs of these that are in almost brand new condition and two pairs of the black duty boots

Plus a pair od Vasque that are almost 30 years old and pair of Lowa Renegades.

I can't imagine that I'm going to wear out six pairs of boots before I die.

So I'm probably not going to be getting any Rockies or any other kind of boots anytime soon

The Night Rider, I’ve heard nothing but good about the Bellevilles. I remember wearing full leather Corcoran jump boots in the 80s on Patrol. Hot as hell in the FL summers…

I was in the initial issue of Bellvilles when the Marine Corps started the change over to what became the MARPAT uniform.

Those boots were Holy HELL on my feet.

When I PCS'd to Japan in 2001, I left them for whoever wanted them, I will never wear another pair of them.
 
I've owned a few pairs of Rocky hiking boots back in the day. I liked my Vendriminis better.

Actually now that I think about it I don't know that they were Rockies. I think they were called Colorados. Either way the Vendriminis were much nicer.
