ROCKYMen's S2V Enhanced Jungle Puncture Resistant Boot

Swap out the laces

Laces dig into top of foot otherwise comfortable. Just wish thicker laces or something to get it to not dig in

Most breathable boot.

Most breathable boot that I have tried so far. Not super light but not too heavy. Tolerances aren't perfect but not a dealbreaker. Holding up well, no signs of deterioration.

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.
