Great boots very warm quality built
Rocky Ridgetop insulated boots. This is a nice quality built boot, 600 grams of thinsulate ultra insulation, a great outsole with lugs designed for excellent traction and are self cleaning. The boots are made of Nubuck leather and 900 denier codura nylon. Designed to last, with nice tough nylon yet still very flexible and light for a boot. They also have a very cushy insole and EVA midsole making them very comfortable to walk in. One additional feature is a very tall gusseted tongue the gusset come to within 2" of the top, assuring dirt or snow can't get in between the tongue and the laces. These boots fit a little large from the mid foot forward. I'm am a certified men's 10 D, and I might of been able to fit in a 9 1/2 (not sure) but with thick cold weather socks the fit is perfect, with normal socks and the boots laced tight everything works perfectly even though they are a little roomy my feet do not slip at all. I used these boots 3 days in a row while shoveling snow with normal socks in temperatures that varied between 2 degrees and 4 degrees fahrenheit. Never once did my feet get or feel cold even though I was outside for 6 hours each day, the boots were supportive yet flexible and very comfortable the whole time. They are also waterproof and no liquid (sun melted snow) got inside these boots nor did any snow get stuck in the treads the lugs left the snow on the ground in perfect footprints. All in all a great cold weather boot, built to last with a leather toe cap and heel that won't disintegrate over time like some of my other boots with rubber/plastic toe caps & heels did. Well worth the money and a boot that exemplifies Rocky's quality !
