[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2819372, member: 17889"] Rocky has a reputation for making excllent uppers. However, they have no knowledge about how to make boot soles that wear well, or how to attach uppers to the soles. Starting with original Cornstalkers 20 years ago, every single pair of Rockys my family has bought had the soles disintegrate within 1-2 years, and/or separate from the uppers, begin leaking. Sent original two pairs of Cornstalkers in for warranty/repair when the soles crumbled and disintegrated. Rocky graciously sent boots back with two sets of new soles...UNATTACHED to the boots......now DIY boot kits......no Cobbler Training included. How were we to remove original soles and attach new soles to uppers?? DUH moment. Sent the boots backs, Rocky attached new soles, returned.......as the now wettest waterproof boots on the planet. Next pair of Rocky's best, kost expensive offerings (don't recall the model name any longer) of waterproof, maybe 2000gm heavy winter hunting boots were enjoyed one deer season, placed in hunting room closet (controlled temp/humidity...my house!!) with other manufacturers' boots. When pulled out for next deer season, soles were crumbling on Rocky boots, not their competitors' boots. Contacted Rocky. No warranty or remedy....they were over one year old!!!!! After several more issues with Rocky boots with no satisfaction from Rocky, we banned Rocky products from our 3800 acre playground. Show up with Rocky products, go home, no admittance. Never bought a Rocky product again, never will. Now for Danner.......NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH DANNER!!! GREAT products. With that said, your money, your choice.... [/QUOTE]
