ROCKYMen's C4T - Military Inspired Public Service Boot

Comfortable and durable. Takes about a week to break in for full comfort experience.

Product is exceptional.

I have earned four pairs. extremely awesome. Why four pair? One pair I was at the bonfire and I fell asleep the pants caught on fire and burned through the boot. I had a second pair destroyed by the fire because it got so hot that getting melted the front. Going to wear them avoid getting them too hot

Almost perfect, one MAJOR flaw

Second pair of these I've owned. Lightweight, flexible, and fast. Willing to compromise ankle protection for speed, weight, and mobility. Biggest flaw is the outsole is not good on wet surfaces. Wet tiles, linoleum, metal, or even some concrete and these will become ice skates. If Rocky fixes this issue these will be an almost perfect boot for my needs, unfortunately the grip is too big of an issue to ignore.

Almost perfect, one MAJOR flaw

This is my second pair of c4ts/Ry008s (seem to be the same boot, just different name depending on where you buy them) so I'm really familiar with the boot as a whole. If you're looking for lightweight and flexibility? These things can't be beat. Almost the entire upper area of the boot is fabric, which you can see from the photos, so not a lot in terms of protection. But for my needs I'm willing to sacrifice the protection for how light and quick they are. The BIGGEST problem these boots have is the outsole. There is quite literally NO traction or grip once you're on a wet, smooth surface. Sure, you can easily run in these things, can probably even do a marathon, but the second your foot hits a puddle of water on things like tile, linoleum, metal, or even smooth brick/concrete flooring you WILL go flying. I'm not exaggerating or saying be careful, I am careful and mindful. It's just that the grip is so bad that they literally become ice or roller skates at the thought of water. I know the website claims these are oil/slip resistant but I genuinely don't think that's true/an empty promise that doesn't require testing to say. If Rocky can improve the traction on these boots, maybe with more rubber and a lightweight but effective and still flexible lug pattern, I genuinely think these would be almost the perfect boot for my needs, and I'd be a life long customer. Unfortunately the traction is such an issue that I will likely be on the hunt again within the year looking for another lightweight, flexible, and mobile boot. Danner Tachylon is the next one I got my eye on, they're a little heavier but similar design and hopefully the lug pattern helps with slippage.

Looks good, feels good.

I love the way they look and feel on my feet. When I was in the Army I always wanted a pair. Glad I finally do.

Best boot I’ve ever had

Bought these about 3 years ago and they are super comfortable still, very attractive, light weight, quiet walking, good grip although not slip resistant, i wear them laced to the top but never tied and they fit like a glove easy on and off action, I’m one of those weirdos that look for shtf gear and these are my go to footwear no question, threw some dr scholls inserts to make em more comfortable and snug so i don’t need to tie them, i even raced my highschool(now college) sprinting cousin in these and beat him(i was a 10.6 guy but he was wearing aasics and we raced in the middle of the street) if these were composite toe with relatively the same light weight and same toe comfort with non slip these would be the ultimate boots, still a great buy. Literally wore them with some black cargo jogger style stretch jeans and a black T-shirt and was getting compliments on my fit(I’m a 27 year old black dude not sure if that matters but i need my gear to look as good as i do hahaha) honestly just came back on this website to see if they had em with the non slip and composite toe so i could wear them every day at my warehouse job. I couldn’t give a better recommendation this is a grown man boot not built for lil boys. I don’t ever even do this review stuff but i had to put some respect on these

Decent Boot

They were a pain to break in but once they are broken in they are extremely comfortable. My only issue is that after 2 weeks of having the boots the fabric on the inside of the boot already ripped

great fit

I've been buying Rocky boots for at least 12 years, i put them on and they feel and fit great. very well made . these C4T is the litest boot i've ever worn . i love them!
