Rocky Brand hiking boots are some of the most durable boots I have-ever worn. The pair that i have now have lasted a month in the Yukon hiking through mountains and across streams. They have borne the winter hunting season in south eastern Ohio and six months of school. They dry really fast are for the most part waterproof. I however from experience would not recommend hiking with them if you are going hunting and have to sit for long periods of time. They do not hold up long in cold weather. DURABILITY: (B) These boots have performed better than I could have ever asked. For a guy with a wide foot they worked out extremely well. The leather is tough, made with thick rubber soles, and has Gore-Tex to keep the water out. However they did lack some of the comfort, and insulation one would need in the snow therefore they receive a B. AFORDABILITY: (B) These boots are quite expensive but if you shop at the Rocky boots store in Nelsonville, OH you can get some good deals. I bought my pair 50% off. Go to the second floor and look around. PACKABILITY: (B+) the boots are very easy to carry and pack deep into a pack or lash on for use as needed. The Boots however are bulky and do take up quite a bit of space in a luggage bag. If you are traveling by plane and can take getting strange looks I would recommend wearing them not packing them, even with shorts on! DEPENDABILITY :( A) Whenever i was crossing a river or a mountain in the Yukon I could always count on these boots to preform and hold up under extreme pressures. I would recommend them to anyone and once broken in they will offer you several months, possibly years of comfort depending on what you dare to accomplish.
