It is a known fact that every hunting girl needs some type of boot in her closet. The good thing about this boot is that it can be used for hunting, working, etc. Since it has camo is very versatile. This would not, however, be my first choice for hunting. I found this boot to work better for me as a work boot. For activities such as planting green patches, riding ATV's, etc.

Things I did not like about this boot were:

1. If you have already "huge" feet, this is a bulky show that tends to make your feet look bigger.

2. Despite wearing these quite often they have yet to soften up. I like my boots to be somewhat flexible, this one is just too stiff.

3. They make blisters...  BUT ONLY IF YOU DON'T WEAR WOOL SOCKS WITH THEM! Yes, please, if you get, these boots do NOT make the same mistake I did and wear cotton socks. Cotton, obviously, absorbs moisture and in this boot it is NOT good. At first I thought it was either the wrong size (they fit fine... ), or it was just the shoe. I searched on the RockyBoots.com FAQ and found this bit of helpful information.

On a positive note, things I love about this boot:

1. They have camo on them, so you can wear these hunting if you want them too. Very versatile, as stated above.

2. They are good for both fall and winter. I have also worn them in the spring while gardening. They breathe well but keep your feet warm, which is a must for a boot in my opinion.

3. They are stiff. Okay, I said I didn't like this up there but it does have a plus side to it. They don't wear out like I thought they would. A very long lasting boot and very good quality.

4. These are WATERPROOF! So, you can stomp in the muddy water all you want and your feet will stay dry to the bone!

5. It is actually made for a woman, which I know is hard to find when you find a boot you like. This is a very big PLUS as women's feet are not like men's.

6. I really liked how it had padding on the to part of the boot, around your leg. If you've ever worn a boot without this, it can tend to rub you raw. I didn't have this problem at all with the Rocky Women's Ranger Boots.

7. Oh, and if you lack a little in the height department, these boots will help out with that. Adds a few inches in an instant.

This is a very good boot by all means, I just had a hard time writing about it after MY ignorance of wearing cotton socks with these and they made huge blisters on my feet several times. This had nothing to do with the make of the boot or the company-it was my mistake.
