I bought rock roosters a few years ago as they were steel toe certified. I work them for 3 years, and Honestly they have finally worn out the insole, but are functional iff need be.

[@joelhansen7373]

I find their choice of CoolMax for a toe lining "interesting." I'd actually believe it helps the boot breath better because it has a great reputation for wicking away sweat when used in athletic wear. However, CoolMax athletic wear clothing also has a reputation of absorbing odors that can't be washed out. So to put it in the toe of a boot where it can't be washed & where lots of odors are produced raises lots of concerns for me.

I’ve been wearing the old sole version for the past 2 years. I have the newer vibrant ones as well, but the old sole holds up WAY better. I eventually threw the newer insoles and laces on the old boots and they feel new again. Most boots barely last 6-8 months in my work environment. *Vibram

[@dylano7242]

I highly disagree. I've owned 3 pairs rock rooster boots and every pair the junk cork board broke up into chunks and migrated creating voids, and felt like rocks underfoot. Cork board is junk vs hot cork that is bonded to the shoe. Rock rooster are ok , but do not expect a long life. I personally would take old stock die hard or a rocky boot over a rock rooster as a budget boot. For a premium boot go with a thorogood 1957.

[@RPierce84]

I came here to say this. I took a chance on them after emailing them with a list of questions. They took the time to reply back not only promptly, but with pictures and a video of every piece of the boot that I inquired about, as well as why they chose to use it over say other more "classic" materials. Needless to say, it was enough to sway me to purchase a pair. I'm currently on my second week with them and so far I have no complaints (other than they smell like glue/leather dye). Comfort is absolutely top tier for me, and they are wider than say Thorogood or Danner, which is great for me. Even Thorogood's "wide" wasn't quite wide enough for my feet. (I was an avid Thorogood user prior)

I bought a pair of RockRooster Roberta (VAP615) boots about a year ago. They have the same vibram outsole and funky insole as that mock toe. First thing I did was swap that squishy insole for cork insoles. Then gave them a good dose of water proofing. I wear them almost every day and they're going strong. What I like most is the huge toe box. I'm very happy with them and hope to get another year or so of use.

For anyone reading, as for the soles. If you’ve brevet had thick foam soles, try em out! After you break it in it forms to your foot. Your toes will have lil spots, the arch gets slight support& cushion. It’s nice.. Me personally- I like that, one reason I get memory foam insoles

I have a pair of these, 2 years I’ve been wearing them to work everyday. They’re not as comfortable as when I got them but all I’d need to do is switch out the insole for a new one and they’d be very comfortable but as it stands they’re just fine and have held up amazingly. I like that the wedge sole has a rubber lining so you don’t get that goofy looking wear and tear like you get with something like redwings were you can see how you walk unevenly on the heel and what not.

If I am remembering correctly, the old Vibram outsoles of t he 1980's were bright yellow. I am impressed with the ROCKROOSTER product; however, the sort of flimsy shaft is a slight turn off. And again another great review. I appreciate you man.

[@andspenrob]

I'm very curious to see how something like this holds up to re-soleing... It's got that synthetic midsole, meaning it might need replacing, but if the welt is in good shape it might mean you end up paying only $220-$250 for two full cycles, which is wild...

[@AudioFileZ]

Vibram will make bespoke outsoles. Over my almost 50-years in the shoe retail and repair industry I've seen this many times. Sometimes the sole will be a unique model for a maker while other times it will be one of the Vibram in-house designs with a bit of an Easter Egg that silently says it is a special made sole for one footwear manufacturer. At one time we were told the best Vibram soles got the iconic yellow label. I can't say that's actually true, but it was floated around the industry at a time. I think it doesn't do much except advertise Vibram now though. I like what you've exposed here and find it interesting. Since they went to the trouble of the leather Goodyear welt I'm surprised that the internal heel counter is all synthetic. Heel counters are very important as they not only protect and resist heel supination and pronation, they are often the only interior part of the boot to wear out before the upper itself. I believe it would raise the bar on this boot had Rockrooster used a quality sweat-resistant tanned leather as the modest increase in cost would be well spent. In the early days of knitted linings Cambrelle by Faytex Fabrics was pretty good because it usually did last a long time and was made to both breathe and transport sweat. If this is genuine Coolmax it has synthetic long fibers that actually have a groove in each strand. The grove was said to also be an excellent conduit (i.e. a gutter) for sweat to be pulled away from the user's socks. The idea is to mimic Merino wool. However, there's differences as one would expect. Simply put, Merino wool does everything better and will resist wear longer while having a natural resistance to the retention of odors that Coolmax must add an anti-microbial element to modestly achieve, if that extra is even added. Leather linings are nice but often, as they are thin and flexible like fabric, wear through wherever there is constant moving contact such as at the outside edge of the small and big toes as well as sometimes where the users big toe nail touches on top. Still, leather vamp linings are considered the finest construction though they are only found now in fairly expensive boots and shoes. All in all, by what you've brought to our attention here, I'd have to agree that this is a solid boot at a fairly low price. One thing I did notice is that the Rockrooster moc-toe looks like a machine sewn crimped version and not a hand-stitched one such as on the Red Wing Heritage wedge sole and on the various Danner Bull Runs. That is OK, but aesthetically the hand-sewn moc-toes look much better. Love your channel!

[@happylittletools]

I think that these are a wonderful first purchase for a few things: 1. To double check that you have a decent size idea for future premium boot sales 2. Once I know I like my size with this, and get used to wearing them for a bit, I will have a backup boot once I buy a more premium brand.

[@lizcademy4809]

I'm enjoying these reviews, even though I'm not in the market for almost all of the sneakers / boots / shoes reviewed. [I wear a small, extremely wide women's size.] One thing that would make the reviews even better would be a brief discussion of size and fit. For example, on these low cost moc-toes, I'll bet there are a lot of people with wide feet who want to know which boots run narrow - or vice versa. It wouldn't need to be more than about 10 seconds of talk: "this boot runs wide, our narrow footed tester had too much room even with thick socks".

[@thewanderingnord]

My Rock Roosters have been killer so far. I wear them almost every day (8 months so far) while working and the comfort is worlds beyond the Danner or the Carolina.

[@brianescamilla]

Vibram has a color version of the 4014 wedge that they use on more fashion oriented footwear (377K). The white version looks similar to the classic 4014 but it's whiter and has the yellow logo.

As previously stated in this thread, I believe the outsole is the Vibram 377k Christy thick outsole…made of “Newflex” material.

[@firstnamelastname4179]

I've been waiting for this review since the last one. This model I got about a year and a half ago because I got impatient waiting for you to do the review for the upgraded version lol. On their website this model is advertised as a wide fit. However it is not. Just standard width. So friendly warning size accordingly because returns are a pain in the butt. Luckily my little brother is enjoying the pair that was the wrong size for me. You can also get them cheaper than 120 because the have crazy sales all the time. I got mine for 90 shipped.

Thanks to this channel, i got a pair of these boots, and they are great (aside from one big stitching flaw). I was at the local Red Wing store looking at their heritage line, and I just couldn't drop that kinda cash on a pair/style of boots I have never worn before. So I decided to grab a pair of these because they hit a few marks... unlined, wedge sole, quality construction. I am not disappointed. The white sole and orange-y color accentuates the size 15 of it all, but F it, I like them, and the soles get dirty immediately.

[@ADyess086]

[@mr0ska]

I had a pair of these and the upper tore away from the welt within 3 months. It looked like the stitching from the welt was barely stitched to the very edge of the upper leather, barely fastened. I probably just got a lemon but I’ll still probably never buy them again.

Had to take the foam out in order for them to fit. Even without the foam insert, they're quite comfortable. I love em.

[@brianng9765]

I think the reason why they can make shoes this cheap, is that labour in general is just cheaper in China, and average citizen's buying power is lower, even tho it had been going up this days. If you look up on Taobao, there are like 875 knockoffs with real leather for like 40 bucks or something, knock off brown leather Air Jordans with a GYW with leather welt for like 60 bucks. But then you can't really have a more expensive boot sold there, cuz that's just around the price what everyone expected, a 120 bucks boot on Taobao that is made in China would be outrageous. There are some other Rockrooster hiking boots selling for like 40 to 50 bucks as well, but they are like, your average hiking boots like Columbia.

[@Nathan-zw7nq]

I just ordered a pair of White’s Fultons. I like the look of Moc toe boots, I just don’t like wedge soles because, a) I work outside on varied terrain so it’s nice to have a sole that is harder underfoot for durability and has big lugs for traction, and b) wedge soles are kinda ugly in my opinion. It makes sense why guys who work on pavement/concrete/steel would prefer the softer wedge sole, but for my situation it doesn’t make sense. I’m definitely looking forward to getting them and breaking them in.

I've always had Red Wing work boots and recently bought a pair of 1907's but at over 300 cost, I decided I needed another pair of boots for the retirement projects that might sacrifice a pair of boots. The Rock Roosters fit that category and they feel pretty comfortable right out of the box. At 110 cost with discount, if I fill them up with differential fluid, I won't feel so bad about it.

Theur new soles only lasted a minth or two before showing a good ammount of wear and the same after having them resoled. I think I would rather just get a while new boot for about the same cost or slightly more and it sounds like the sokes might even last longer than the Red Wings. If the Rock Roosters are as good as they look like they are I woukd rarher have 2-3 pairs of them for the same cost as one oair of Red Wings.

This is by far my favorite video I’ve seen of yours. I want red wings but I can’t afford them yet so this is a nice alternative until then

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Great! I'm buying this because of your review here.

Former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang once disclosed in a public setting that there are 600 million people in China earning less than 1,000 Chinese yuan (150 USD) per month, which is a significant reason why these shoes are so affordable.

Vibrant used to put a yellow tag on soles a pretty long time ago. Had it on a pair of hiking boots

[@PrentissYeates]

Their self branded outer sole was indestructible, but heavy, the vibrant sole is lighter but wears pretty quick

[@happilyham6769]

I don't wear boots and I never will, but I really enjoy watching your videos.

Have you ever reviewed Allen Edmonds boots?

[@captaintrips8786]

The chipawa moc tow also comes with that same vibram outsole with the yellow logo.

These things are painted so, so orange. I liked them, but the rag I use to clean my boots started out white and brown and is now 2 shades of orange over it entire surface.

Just tried these boots like everything about them but 1 thing that heel liner where it is sown rubbed the living crap out of my heel would pull my sock down. I tried it without the insole and was fine. So I think they need to sow it higher or make sure it is flat. Sucks I really did want to like these boots. Ended up going with Timberland Pro Barstow was cheaper and a lot more comfortable. Could you do a review on them?

MITUSA suggestions, all from Gokey USA, the Tipton work bot, Bison Classic or The Supreme. I've been dying to see a review of Gokey USA boots. They also make shoes. They would also fit into the Moctober series.

I always wonder when i watch affordable boot videos, regardless of being barefoot or not-i always try to compare any affordable boot to Jim Green's Barefoot ranger. So my question is-for around 200$ is there any better built boot in regards to the quality of the leather, the seams and welt and lining and overall the whole package? Because in my eyes Jim Green makes top notch durable boot that is tough to beat, even by chinese...

My Hoka mids/boots have the yellow Vibram logo as well. I have the Anacapa Mid GTX.

I’m a Canadian Boilermaker&Welder who works in industrial construction. American made will always be better. You pay for what you get. Though, do you care about beating up $400+ work boots? (Cost in Canadian $ after conversion, shipping & duties) or would you rather enjoy it? Having limited moc steel toe options in Canada, Rock rooster is the best bang for your buck at a little over $200Cad and gets the job done for work. Preserving your buy it for life American made for your hot dates
