ROCKYMen's S2V Enhanced Jungle Puncture Resistant Boot

Favorite so far!

I am on my third pair. I have a high arch and wide foot, so fit is brand specific. I absolutely lived in these (2 rotating pairs) for 2 solid years in Afghanistan. I brought them home and wore them out working in muck doing forestry. They survived machine washing to get Afghan moon dust out 2x, chain saw blade bumps (no damage!) and were comfortable and kept my feet healthy. I bought a replacement pair as my daily work boots. I have work all sorts of issue and hiking boots, and these tick all the boxes - and are light, protective, and comfortable.

Overall bad

I have had these boots for about one year now, and all I can say they are bad! Compared to the price of this you would think this boot has to be the best boot on the market but no it’s not. If you’re just working in the office these will be fine, but once you do ruck matches or repetitive military drills they start wearing down fast. The stitching on the side of the boots rip very easily, and the material they use on the side of the boot starts coming off looking like the boots has hair. Lastly the boots look saggy from the side. Please don’t waste your money.

I am a missionary in the rural mountains of Northern Honduras. My feet are in love with these boots. Great for the tropical environment and for being on your feet 15+hours a day! I am completely impressed with these boots. I can go through boots fairly quickly but these might be a lifer? God bless Rocky Boots!

Review 3 years into regular wear.

So I bought these boots in early 2020 because I wanted a lightweight boot for doing PT. I actually hated these boots at first lol. They were extremely uncomfortable for me until I broke them in after a 20 mile (10 in morning, 10 in evening, not 20 in a row I’m not a lunatic) ruck. They have been my most comfortable, and most worn boot since then. 2020-2022 was the end of my military service and I wore these boots for I think 17ish jumps, countless rucks and ranges, and a good number of FTX. They have not torn, ripped, or frayed in any significant way. There is one corner of the area the tongue attaches to the front toe area that is a little frayed, and only because I was caught up in some C-Wire, nothing to do with the actual build quality of the boot. I climbed mountains in Alaska, and waded through muck in the Everglades with these bad boys, and besides a few stains and some wear near the heel of the sole they look like they’re maybe 2-3 months old. I’ve put probably a good 1,000 miles on these boots (not including daily wear like if I’m mowing the lawn and walking the dog after it rains etc etc, I’m taking a purely training and hard wear and use) , mostly outdoors, I would estimate 300 or so miles were on asphalt/pavement. They fit my feet like a glove, and I find them more comfortable than almost every pair of actual shoes I own. I just wish they made them in black too, honestly I would buy like six pairs of it wasn’t for the fact that I’m pretty sure my knees will give out before these boots do. Absolute 10/10 purchase, and even if they did get ruined in the future, I wouldn’t buy any other pair except these right here. They do run a little large. I normally wear a 9, sometimes 9.5 in boot brands but I run these at 8.5 and they fit the same way.

The absolute best!!

Great quality. Comfortable. A good investment. You will not regret purchasing these boots.

Shoes come apart

Bought it end of last year in PX. Not heavy use because I just wore it for about 5 month but the shoes started to come apart. Not sure can I send it back to repair because still within 1 year warranty. But the shoes are comfortable during rucking. Good support for the ankle. Just the leather not able to attach the sole/bottom well. And fade to strange color. At first, I am so excited because it is my first ROCKY boot. But now, very disappointed especially the shoes are not cheap. Lost my first impression.

This is it! They are THE ones...

I received these boots as a gift 7 years ago for my canoe tripping adventures. The are definitely the best boots to traverse the elements for this type of adventure... From mud, water, sand, rocks, vegetation, on any type of terrain. Swamps, lakes, creeks, deserts, rivers, mountains and trails. Swimming, portaging and hicking. You name it , they went through it! They are comfortable and light (won't drag you in the water when swimming). Solid and evacuate the excess of water as advertised. They are starting to show signs of use but I have to admit I'm extremely satisfied with them. I will purchase a new pair without hesitation!

Best Boots for Rucking

I’ve had my pair for about a year now. As long as they sell these, I’ll never purchase a different pair of boots. These boots fit perfect and are highly functional. However, I will admit it took some time to break them in until they fit the way they do now (~1.5-2 months). Originally they dug into my ankle and caused a great deal of pain around that area. At one point I was considering returning them, but I decided to keep working on them and I’m glad I did. I’ve done 12-mile rucks in these without a single blister or hot spot. Prior to these boots, I would always get hot spots and blisters around mile 3-4. With these boots, I don’t have to use any tape, special socks (just a solid quality pair), or powder to get through long rucks. I’m convinced now that you don’t need any of that with a great pair of boots. They’re also light-weight enough to run in for training exercises without any concerns. I have absolutely no regrets waiting it out. I just wouldn’t recommend them if you need them STAT for an event or school.
