Men's Rocky S2V

Got these boots because i was getting tired of the short lifespan of the Nike SFB. Wore these boots to work for a few days before taking them on a 2 mile ruck over even terrain and a 70lb ruck @ a 13min/mile pace. Didnt get any blisters however the boots did start to get a little warm. Later that week i took them on a 6 mile ruck over hilly uneven terrain in mud, clay, and sand. Got the boots soaked beforehand in a deep puddle and was amazed at the speed which they dried out. These was some sloshing for about 1/8mi but by 1 mile after getting them soaked they were dried out a significant amount. I was amazed by the 'Walk them dry" feature advertised so I proceeded to try it again and got the same quick drying result. After i brought them home i washed them off with a hose and it actually took longer to dry having them sit out than it did while rucking with them. This ruck march with soaking wet boots/feet the whole time also resulted in no blisters. I generally get at least 1 blister on my achilles under the same conditions with the Nike SFB. I will be getting another pair, but this time the 101's to see what difference the extra drainage holes and "Superfabric" material do for this already amazing boot. Pros: Extremely fast break in, Quick drying while rucking Cons: Can get rather hot when not wet

These have got to be the best boots ive ever had No break in time and comfortable right out of the box. If your lookin for a serious no bs pair of boots these are them

I purchased these in November 2011 and have been pleased with them. They have been through the mountains in Italy and Germany for different field training exercises. They slip well in and out of chemical overboots...nice feature during inspections. They are very comfortable and feel almost bouncy from the soft rubber sole. Their downfall is the rocky desert terrain in Neveda. When I went through training they developed a small tear in the sole on the inside edge of the left heal. I have continued to use them during my current deployment and the tear has grown to 1 inch now and most of the tread is worn down in the center. To their credit they are still comfortable and seem like they will last the remainder of my deployment. I also like they are BLISS compliant and the sole edge does allow you to go through water/mud with more protection from submersion so your feet stay dry.

I have owned these boots for 5 years, they have endured fast roping, non-skid and boarding operations. The only thing that broke on the boots were the laces. They are light wieght and feel like your wearing tennis shoes. I would defantly recommend these boots to any military operators.

These have got to be the worst boots I have ever worn. I got blisters on both feet after wearing them maybe three hours the first day. Took about a moth to heel, then a new set of blisters developed, yeah me ( and of course I wasn't 'home" so I had to live with them until I got new boots shipped to me. Now if you can handle the blisters and 10 month break in period, they are comfortable or at least bearable.

These boots are turn key, obstacle course, march, double time, halt...! I can't speak highly enough about them! From sliding down rope to slithering under razor wire to just kicking it in the barracks. Comfortable, reliable, great for default world too. Do yourself a favor, the best things in life cost a little extra, do it!

I bought my rockys back in 2010, right outta the box i wore them on a ruck march and didnt have a problem at all, been wearing them everyday since then, 1 tour in iraq and now another one in afghanistan. only thing ive had happen was the shoelace bust once on a mission. AMAZING BOOTS!!!!

Just purchased a pair a couple of days ago. I bought a set of the steel toes a while back, but they were too heavy and stiff.. Just got these and starting to break them in. They are a little stiff initially, but I broke down and soaked them in hot water before a nice long walk. Definitely loosened them up a bit. Tried walking through a couple of streams and I'll say they definitely aren't water proof. Water soaks in through the tongue area pretty fast. They never really drained completely like I've read they are supposed to do, but they were decent enough to wear for 6 or so hours before my feet started to feel pretty rotten. I had a hard time soaking $180 boots right off the bat, but they were too stiff to comfortably press the clutch in my old car.. So, as of right now they are relatively comfortable. Tomorrow is a nice long ruck, so we'll see how they really hold up. Hope they're dry by then!

I read alot of reviews, did my research and found that the negative reviews are from those of you who do not appreciate a light weight combat boot, that is what they are right! Get there like I do and enjoy. Thanks Rocky! 17 yrs of combat boots and I like this one!

I thought these boots were really cool and planned on buying some until we were in the field and one of my soldiers had a HUGE thorn go straight through the sole and right into his foot. Upon closer inspection I realized the soles were pretty much just some sort of rubberized foam. Light and comfortable yes, but after that I had second thoughts on buying them

Great boots! The only pair that I wear and the customer service from militaryboots.com is outstanding.

I've had my s2v's for a year. Pros they are and they are light, provide amazing support, don't require breaking in. I do have to say they didn't last quite as long as i wanted, i wore the soles down to nothing, the stitching started to come undone around 10 months, they do require new laces about every 4-5 months, and are not quite well enough ventilated. But overall, these blow a pair of danners/blackhawks out of the water.

I have worn boots for over thirty years. This boot, right out of the box, was extremely comfortable. Furthermore, it's a good looking design and very durable. Best boots I have ever worn.

A friend of mine was selling his brand-new pair so I decided to give them a go. As soon as I put them on and started walking I noticed that the cordura panel over the left exterior ankle would "pop" in and out with each stride. The sound was annoying but worse I could feel it snap against my ankle on every step without fail. The left boot fit just a tad tigher also. I had some slight heel slip in the right boot. There are many other boots on the market way-more comfortable than these. Although many are not approved for Servicemen, Lowa for example is probably the most comfortable boot I've ever worn, even better than athletic shoes. The S2V's appear to be made well with excellent materials and would probably take a lot of abuse but overall I think they're they have a stiff and clunky feeling right out the box. I'd pass on these.

I'm a female and had to get the appropriate size which was not hard to do. They are extremely comfortable. I spent 195 days in Afghanistan without any foot problems. Returned to my civilian job and after 1 week started having foot problems. I'm wearing these boots to work and haven't had any foot issues. The laces do wear out but at the ankle bend from wear and tear.

I am deployed in afghanistan and i've had my rocky's for two years. when i bought them i didn't even have to break them in they are very durable and give great support and soft on the feet. The only bad thing i have to say is they eat up boot laces so i had to take the lace eyelets out and now they are good

Good, sturdy, and comfortable boot, but...after wearing them on a few long foot marches the back where the seam is just above your heel broke in weird so it became extremely painful to walk. :(

These boots are great; very lightweight and the sole is excellent. My knees aren't the greatest, and these make them feel great.

Fits true to size...light weight, not bulky, great feel all around. Nicely done! Ready for my second pair in another color.

Nice look to the boots. The footbeds are very comfortable. First set of boots that I have bought on my own and I am very happy with my purchase.
