Rocky Men’s RKYW041 Western Boot Review

These men’s boots are designed with the eight-layer Rocky original ride performance system with dual-density oil-resistant and slip-resistant rubber outsoles. A right-angle heel and embedded safety grooves make the Rocky ride outsole ideal for all work environments, including ladders and stirrups. These are steel toe boots that meet astm standards for impact and compression, as well as for electrical hazard. Rocky goes a step further and gives you waterproof boots made with the Rocky waterproof system. Air flows in, but water stays out. The Rocky original ride is made with the perfect amount of protective features, comfort and sturdiness. Layers one and two of the eight-layer system are the orthotic form and rear foot cradle. Your forefoot rests on a soft form with increased thickness in the heel strike zone. A rear foot cradle gives you stability. Layer three is an upper enclosed cushion. The top layer is cushioned and perforated. After wearing your work boots for a while, this layer forms to the contours of your foot! layer four is a welt innersole with a flex facilitator. Basically, the flex facilitator gives your boots super flexibility. Next, there’s the midsole. That’s layer five. It’s a full-length eva midsole that absorbs shock, but also is really lightweight. Layer six is the stabilizer shank. Made of double-ribbed tempered steel, it provides the maximum amount of stability while increasing durability to extend the life of these men’s boots. Layer seven is the forefoot propulsion pad and rear foot landing pad. This is a unique two-part highly-cushioned system that increases three things: shock absorption, flexibility and comfort. Finally, check out layer eight. The outsoles of your work boots are just as important as the inside features. This is a rubber work platform outsole that is oil-resistant and provides extra secure footing. The forefoot and rear section have a softer density to give you sure-footed traction.
