Rothco Men's Sport Boots

These boots are super durable and probably great if you have less narrow feet than I do. I am normally a women's size 8.5 to 9 and the 6 W have a little too much room in the width.I did not get blisters, my feet were just uncomfortable after wearing them for a while, so I defaulted to other shoes as often as possible. They were also not the most comfortable to walk in.

Material is kind of cheap.

I bought these for my husband who needed sturdy and rugged everyday footwear for chasing our kids and playing outside. He wanted combat boots because I'd told him stories of the pair I bought my Sophmore year in high school and wore until they broke apart nearly ten years later. He hates to shop, so not having to buy new boots was a huge selling point for him, as was the cordura uppers, for hot weather. Anyway, he wore these daily for 6 months, at which point the leather across the toes had broken open where his foot bends as he walks, and the side of the boot over the toes had ripped out of the sole completely. It was very, very disappointing and was not the kind of longevity we'd hoped for when we bought these. Our next pair will come from the local surplus store and be all leather.

While in the Army, I used to wear jungle boots all the time. I was in the infantry and put them through a lot of hard use. That pair lasted me 2 years in the Army and 4 years afterwards. I recently had to let them go - so bought a new pair (These) and they seemed about the same so I had high expectations. Within 2 weeks the sole in the toe area on the right boot let loose. I had them glued by a cobbler (yep we still have one around). Since then, I've noticed the rest of that boot and the other starting to get loose around the sole and there appears to be some cracking in the leather around the bottom also.So basically - I don't give these boots a very high review.Update- Cobbler glue didn't hold. This boots completely failed within 3 months of ownership.

I ordered size 7W. The shoes I received say 7W on the sole but are manufactured closer to an 8W or 9R. My feet flop around inside these things no matter how tight I pull the shoe strings.

Purchased not even 6 months ago and the soles developed cracks and within a week of that the soles started to come off. I expected a better quality from the company that purchased Wellco. (The company that once provided high quality boots to the fine men and women in our Armed Forces) Never will i purchase a Rothco product again.
