Rocky Lightweight RLW

Lightweight, comfortable and compliant, the Lightweight RLW is ready for battle. The newest evolution of military boots combines Rocky's most advanced lightweight features with the durability and performance needed in competitive operations. The RLW is built from water-resistant and fast-drying rough-side-out cattle-hide leather and Cordura PU so operators can stay focused on the task at hand. Aggressive outsoles with tread locks at the heel and toe ensure strong foothold in any terrain, and the self-cleaning tread pattern keeps debris buildup at bay so feet are never weighed down. Speed-lace eyelets and NATO hooks allow users to get them on and off fast.

- Wore for about a week
  Reviewer: Kirslyn t.
  
  7/20/2018
  
  In the short time I’ve tired the pair out I’ve noticed how light they are! They definitely have a breeze going through and the sole is comfortable. When I first got them, they were a bit stiff around the ankle but that was to be expected and it didn’t last long at all. Remember I’ve only had them for about a week but so far so good!

- Great boot
  Reviewer: Ben
  
  7/19/2018
  
  Comfortable. Sturdy. Lighter than the SV2, but a mesquite thorn punctured my foot on the first day here in west Texas. That never happened in 5 years with the SV2.

- Great product
  Reviewer: Augusto Vasquez

  Great product... but one of the boots came damaged and different color thanks for the fast shipping

- Great Boots
  Reviewer: KrackSoldier
  
  4/13/2018
  
  When I first got these boots I was a little hesitant. But after some of that good ol' krack I put on a 45 lbs sack and haven't stopped rucking in them since. They're great. They're super comfortable. I would highly recommend them.

- Great boots
  Reviewer: Robert Kapsa
  
  4/12/2018
  
  One of the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever had.

- Runs large
  Reviewer: Mikaela M
  
  3/5/2018
  
  I wear a size 7 in all boots, so I ordered these in a 7 as well. They ended up fitting a 1/2 to a whole size bigger. I’ve owned 2 pairs of Rocky’s and didn’t anticipate them fitting so differently. I unfortunately received them and threw them in a bag before training and ended up having to wear them even though they were too big, otherwise I would have returned them for a smaller size. If they fit properly, they’d be great comfort and tread wise!

- Nice boot
  Reviewer: Louie DeCourley
  
  2/13/2018
  
  The boot appeared to be well made and looked good. I just couldn’t get them on my feet so I sent them back. I would have kept them if I could have got them on. Nice looking boot though. 😇😇😇

- Great boots
  Reviewer: John Suskek
  
  1/22/2018
  
  Come ready to wear right out of the box, didn't even feel like I needed to break them in. They look and feel great.

- Best boot I ever bought
  Reviewer: James tullos
  
  12/5/2017
  
  I bought these rocky 8 months ago I put them on and they fit perfectly and they needed no break-in period at all. I work at a prison on my feet all day on cement, they have the best insole I found yet

- Very comfortable....BUT
  Reviewer: Cliff Schuelke
  
  11/9/2017
  
  Boot broke in quick and are very light and comfortable. However, the sole is separating from the leather on the inside of my left boot. At first, it started as about a 1/2" section, but now over 4 inches is separated. This was only after 30 days of normal use. Happy with the comfort, disappointed in the durability

- Good boot but hurts my feet
  Reviewer: Tony
  
  10/7/2017
  
  I was extremely happy with the boot...at first. I purchased the medium size thinking it would be the same fitment as my issued service boots. Bad decision. I should have went with the wide. The rubber sole on the outside edge close to the second lace eyelet rubs against my foot so bad all day. I was hoping it may get better with time but it seems like it's getting worse. Ive only wore them for a month but cant stand to wear them any longer! If you're gonna buy this boot go with the wide.

- Not bad
  Reviewer: Justin
  
  9/7/2017
  
  It took a little longer to break in Then I thought. Overall the boot is rugged for lots of concrete work and the harsh conditions of desert life.

- Most comfortable boots
  Reviewer: Tony Rueda
  
  9/5/2017
  
  Awesome boots and the most comfortable boots I've ever owned! The only downside is that the glue that holds the sole to the left side of the left boot started coming apart after one day of wearing them! I may have just gotten a bad pair. Other than that, these boots are amazing!

- Worst boots ever owned
  Reviewer: Travis L
  
  9/2/2017
  
  These boots never broke in. I wore them through rough terrain and on hard top. They were like wearing bricks on my feet. I even bought wide because i have a wide foot. They would hurt so bad that my feet would be numb from pain until i loosened them. I even replaced the insoles with great insoles and they couldnt help at all. I would return them if i still had the box. Never get these boots.

- Excellent
  Reviewer: Tyler Abel
  
  8/24/2017
  
  Boots hold up to standard and I'm really hard on shoes

- Great Boots for almost everything
  Reviewer: Ricardo Medina-Sanchez
  
  8/14/2017
  
  These boots will definitely protect your feet. They are heavy and warmer than the Nike. However, better than the ones issued by the Army.

- Great boot
  Reviewer: H miller
  
  7/21/2017
  
  Durable, cut big , great for cool weather, lots of toe room, great ankle support

- Duribilty is king
  Reviewer: Austin Holt
  
  7/20/2017
  
  I like the ruggedness of the brand, light and great for any occasion. Just need to order the right size.

- Finally a true wide boot
  Reviewer: Joe Smith
  
  7/19/2017
  
  Only had them a week or so. I have very wide feet, thanks in part to golf ball size bunions. These fit perfectly. Very comfortable and seem pretty tough so far. The only reservation I have so far is the eyelet style NATO system speed lace hooks. Probably just take some getting used to. I prefer open speed lace hooks. Overall I am very satisfied.

- Great boot
  Reviewer: Terrance powell
  
  7/18/2017
  
  Have not received yet has been two weeks

- Heavy and not comfortable at all!
  Reviewer: Smith, J
  
  7/10/2017
  
  These boots are a great price but for a cheap price you pay for zero comfort. I recommend not buying these boots. I don't think these would even break in after a while. I will find a way to return these boots ASAP!

  I'm so sorry to hear you weren't happy with these boots. If you need any help with our returns process, please reach out to our customer relations team and we'd be happy to walk you through it.

- Took a little to bit to break in
  Reviewer: D J
  
  7/3/2017
  
  I get that every boot takes a little bit to break in but now that mine are they seem more uncomfortable than before. The bottom left eyelet on my right boot kept pinching into my foot when I first got the boots in April. I took the common sense approach and loosened up my boots. Three months later that seems to have gone away but now the outsides of the boot seem to hurt the outer little toe mound of my foot. Now I'm not sure what to do. I might try changing the insoles to see if that helps. I do wear the boots everyday as I have a standing desk/job so I am on my feet all day long. Usually about seven hours into the workday I am ready for them to come off. I have a pair of steel toe Rocky's and don't have any problems with those, same size and everything. Maybe I just got the unlucky boot this time.

  I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with these boots, DJ. If you would like some recommendations for similar boots. It sounds like you may be more comfortable in something wider? If you give us a call and let us know more about these problems, we'd be happy to help find something more comfortable for you.

- I love my Rocky RLW's
  Reviewer: John McAtee
  
  6/12/2017
  
  I've been wearing my Rocky RLW's daily on and off work, and am very pleased with the comfort and fit. Some reviews mention they run oversized, but in my case I ordered my regular size of 11 M and they fit perfectly. I like the large toe box. They're roomy enough to be comfortable, yet snug enough to support my feet and ankles without any slippage. Only time will tell, but they appear to be rugged and durable. There is no break in period to speak of with these boots. They were comfortable right out of the box. These are my second pair of Rocky's, and are currently my boots of choice. They look good too.

- If you need Support
  Reviewer: Brooks
  
  6/4/2017
  
  The boots will provide a great deal of ankle support and arch support. This support was too much for me and altered my steps; however, if you need boots that give some support you found them.

- Excellent boots
  Reviewer: Brian
  
  5/31/2017
  
  Great boots at a great price. But as others have stated these run quite big. I ordered a 12W. 12m or 11w would have fit better. But no big deal, I just chinch them up a little. Ya, I would recommend them.

- Rocky lightweight
  Reviewer: mitch hutchinson
  
  5/24/2017
  
  the boot fits well and lots of support for my bad ankles. the price couldn't be beat.

- Nice boots
  Reviewer: Gilbert Ceniceros
  
  5/12/2017
  
  Boots look and feel great. So much more comfortable then my old boots. The only draw back for myself is, I wish they had a pull up strap on the back of boots.

- Comfortable from the start
  Reviewer: Valerie Palacios
  
  5/10/2017
  
  I ended up getting a whole size smaller than what I usually wear. I wear a wide size and these boots run big. Initially ordered 6.5W and ended up with 5.5W and, they are perfect!

- Great Boot
  Reviewer: A. Clark
  
  4/17/2017
  
  The boots fit great and have been very durable so far. The speed hooks work great for lacing these up unlike the C5's. Overall these boots are a great purchase and have served me well.

- Amazing Quality Boots
  Reviewer: Corey
  
  4/13/2017
  
  I've been a loyal customer to Rocky boots, and I will say these are my favorite boots to date. As an active Army Soldier I wear these for 12+ hours daily and am on my feet 75-80% of the day. The high quality materials, and extremely well designed insoles make this a boot that I will purchase again and again. Comfortable right out of the box, with great aggressive tread to keep traction on any surface.

- would buy again.
  Reviewer: Ben Coronado
  
  4/4/2017
  
  very comfortable but run a little big and wide. recommend about a half size down.

- Great Service
  Reviewer: Kevin DeJong
  
  3/28/2017
  
  Initially ordered a size to big. Returned boots for smaller size and within two days money was back in my account. New boots arrived within a few days. Boots are comfortable an well made for the price.

- Only about the break-in period and longevity
  Reviewer: Darrell
  
  3/24/2017
  
  I received and have been wearing these boots for about a month and a half now. I have broken in and worn many pairs of boots. Wolverine, Red Wings, and many more that I have forgotten the manufacture's names. The two manufacturers I do remember, I remember for a few reasons. First was because of the longevity of the boot. Second is the comfort of the boot. Third is the excruciating pain I felt breaking them in. I will remember these Rocky boots for a long time I think! After almost two months these boots are FINALLY feeling like a well broken in pair of sneakers. A good stiff piece of leather better not need "No Break-in Period". I've owned those boots before. I don't remember who made them cause I never bought another pair again. If a boot is that pliable from the start, be ready to buy a pair a year if you really abuse a pair like I do. Yep especially the first 2 weeks were hell (as is always the case) before they formed to my feet. I ordered my true size but soon started questioning my decision cause the hurt so much. But experience taught me to suck it up and just keep on keeping on and it paid off. If my past experience of hard break-in = longevity..... I'll be wearing these for many years! Oh BTW only 3 stars? Yep, if your like me I don't trust or read 5 stars or 1 Stars. I would recommend these boots to anyone who is mature enough to understand what I'm trying to say here. If your kid plays airsoft.......get him/her a pair of sneakers.

  2/15/2017
  
  overall boots are great, dont think they should be called "light weight" and the fabric around the cuff inside needed glued down but nothing alittle fabric glue wont fix, super comfortable, quick break in, had them about a week and sometimes i forget im wearing them, cant go wrong for $100

- So far, I am pleased with this boot.
  Reviewer: Michael Zarate
  
  2/9/2017
  
  Wearing them every other day to get used to the fit. They feel good, throughout the day.

- Some Issues
  Reviewer: Amy
  
  1/23/2017
  
  The boots were lightweight, however the inner cuff at the top around the ankle tore after just two times of wearing. We contacted the customer service and they have already sent a replacement. This is not typical of Rocky boots. We are hoping that we do not have the same problem with the replacement pair. The shipping was speedy and the company is highly recommended.

- Run big
  Reviewer: Russ Blackburn
  
  12/10/2016
  
  My first pair of Rocky boots. Compared to Belleville they run very large and wide.
