Men's Storm Surge Plain Toe Boot Chukka Boot

I can wholeheartedly say I absolutely love these boots! I just received my second pair after wearing my first ones as daily drivers for about five years. They held up incredibly well! Only recently did they start coming apart enough for me to finally order a new pair. These boots have been through it all: long work days, miles of city walking, and even deep puddles in torrential rain, and my feet have always stayed completely dry. The waterproofing is outstanding! They’re also stylish enough to wear anywhere, and I’ve gotten countless compliments on them over the years. The fit is excellent, they’re super comfortable, and I can’t wait to break in this new pair. If you’re on the fence, trust me…these boots are worth it!

This is a great shoe! The style is casual. The weight is not even noticable to me. The color I got was a matte black that is exactly what I expected. The size runs a little big. I had a 12 wide the first time I got these, when I was ready for a second pair (my first ones turned into work boots) I went for a 11.5 wide. The fit is perfect (a little tight with wool socks). If you like this style you will definitely love these.

Wonderful but they don't last past six months. I wear them every day. I work in an office, but I do a significant amount of walking between offices. The boot heels--which are hollow--only last about five or six months. They are very comfortable and they've been at a good price. But having to buy them so often gets expensive. I wish they could be made with a proper sole.

Very comfortable and easy to put on. Waterproof and pretty warm when worn with thick socks. Nice sole for those icy sidewalks. Perfect for business casual work boot for the winter time.

UPDATE 2: So they got back to me after a couple more emails and shipped me a new pair of boots at the end of Nov '22. It is August 2023 and the same issue has happened. They split at the sole in the same spot as the boots i bought before back in early 2022. I put these boots through normal everyday usage at work (9-5) on a concrete floor. I didn't hike or take them on harsh terrain. Besides the splitting soles, these boots handle my usage just fine- as you can likely tell from the photos. I inquired and sent them current photos of the new boots and an automated massage said the exchange program is no longer active. I wont be purchasing Rockport again if the manufacturer's standards/QC allows footwear that lasts maybe 9 months before degrading and if they will not exchange products for their sub par manufacturing then I'm done with them altogether. Go with Caterpillar or Columbia. UPDATE: it's the end of Oct '22 now and I have yet to receive a reply after they asked for photos regarding my "claim" in Sept. I really liked these boots and they might lose me altogether now if this is their quality standard and customer service standard. Got these boots back in April 2022 and used them as work boots. On my feet most of the time and I do my fair share of moving around and such. I wouldnt consider my job to be a shoe killing type of occupation. These boots had a bit of a break in period but once they were, they were fairly comfortable for me. Now in Sept 2022, I put them on this morning felt the ball of my foot touch the concrete while walking to the truck. There's a rip to the inside sole that goes the width of the right shoe. The left has a smaller crack on the same area. 5 months is all I can get out of this boot? Really? Rockport is a huge well known brand so I contacted them about this issue and I'm awaiting a reply.

I don't do reviews much, but these boots really helped me (I'm on my second pair) and they might help you too. They're not as tough as a construction boot and they are not a substitute for them, but that is fine. They're an everyday work boot that is built well and are thoroughly impressive in every way. The big attraction is the insole. They support your foot evenly and it shows over time in the wear pattern on the bottom. I've tried a hundred boots and what ends up happening is the insole material collapses relatively quickly and unevenly, and your foot is no longer parallel to the ground. This causes joint pain, particularly in the knees, and I have to wonder how many people live with this and associate it with age or injury, and never consider their shoes may be causing the problem? (Memory foam and other materials are particularly good for this.) While it sounds uncomfortable, the best part about these boots is a firm insole that doesn't collapse. It maintains its shape and provides superior support througout the life of the boot. This is the first pair of boots I ever owned that were worn out, across the sole and worn completely evenly, before problems like this began to occur. The laces and eyelets are of good quality and lasted the lift of the boot. (Although they would come off easier with round laces.) Comfort is excellent. Water repellent qualities are good, They're stylish, if you're into that. You can get them from Amazon in wide sizes you will never, ever find on a shelf anywhere. I am very, very happy with these boots and as long as Rockport doesn't screw with them in some fundamental way and mess them up, I'll probably continue to purchase them forever. If you are noticing knee pain or other joint issues from walking or climbing? Check your shoes! Maybe try a pair of these. I hope this helps someone.

The shoes came nicely individually wrapped in a box. They fit perfectly, my size is 43EU. The quality seems good, however, I haven't given them a proper wear yet. I bought them for a trip to Russia this winter and I guess I'd need something waterproof. As for the material, it doesn't look or smell or feel like leather to me as declared in the description. It may be some kind of artificial leather-like material to repel water. For the time being I've been wearing them around the house to see if there are any faults. So far, they feel quite comfortable. As for the looks, they look like the ones in the pictures.

It has been 6 years since I bought these, and they are still great! Easily the best pair of boots I’ve ever bought. I wear these everyday during our long Canadian Winter, usually lasts from October to May. Keeps my feet warm, and grips on ice! Even when it’s -30 and I am clearing the heavy snow. And I walk my dog at least 3 times a day. So these boots get lots of use, and They still look new!

Great shoes for anything from a night out to a hike. You'll always look smart. And easy to clean.

The leather is a bit stiff.

I’ve worn Rockport for years. The older they get the better!
