Anybody's Rocky Blizzard Stalker boots fall apart too?

I picked up a pair of Irish Setters Mountain Claw XT, very happy so far

I think LaCrosse did the same thing with cutting corners and sending to China. My new ones don't seem to be the same quality as my old ones. I also got damp feet while sitting in some slush for several hours. My old boots would have kept my feet completely dry in the same situation.

Rocky was making junk boots well before 4 or 5 years ago IMO. I went through several pairs of cornstalkers in which the soles literally disintegrated, until all that was left was a moccasin like bottom. Know of at least 6 or 7 other guys that had soles disintegrate on different model Rocky boots. And all were bought in the late 90's early 2000's.

Been running Danners for hunting since 2001 and absolutely love them. Best boots I've ever owned. Also wear Red Wings for work and have never been let down there either.

Best part with both is you can still find boots made right here in the USA, by our fellow citizens.

I'll throw another vote for Irish Setters. I replaced my old Rockies (rotted soles) with Irish Setters about 6-7 years ago and have been quite happy. They weren't expensive at all compared to Danners and have been holding up extremely well. Still not so much as a damp sock yet while walkng through standing water.

I have had 3 pair of Rockys, and all 3 have been a problem starting with the first pair of cornstakers probably 20 years ago.

I can't believe this. I wish I had done better research before shelling out $130 on a pair of worthless boots. Only reason I knew I wanted Rocky's was because the 12 year old pair was still holding up. I'll never buy a pair of Rocky's again after reading the same problems for everyone else.

I always thought Rockies were "cheap". Always saw them at severe discounts. Baffin's for me.
