A Lace-Up Winner? | The Rocky Trophy Series Outdoor Boot Review

Hunting and hiking outdoors is not only fun… it can be messy!

So, wearing a boot that can hold up to the elements, protect your feet and still be comfortable is of paramount importance.

We set out to find out if the Trophy Series Outdoor Boot from the Rocky Boot company fit the bill…

Why We Reviewed This Boot

Rocky Trophy Series waterproof outdoor boot review

So, why did we decide to review this boot? More on that below!

First, let’s give you a little bit of background about why we reviewed this particular boot. We actually did a review of the Rocky Trophy Series Tall Hunting Boot. In that review, we tested the Trophy Series Tall in more of a deer scouting situation where we were doing work in the woods, getting ready for deer season.

We were going through creeks and streams, testing the waterproof construction of that particular boot and what we found is it did well on all of those. But, what was so surprising was just how comfortable it was. So, we attribute that to the memory foam footbed (more on that below).

So, when we found out that they made a lace-up outdoor boot version of that particular construction, we knew that we wanted to try it!

What We Learned After Reviewing The Rocky Trophy Series Outdoor Boot

So, here’s what we found…

We took the Trophy Series Outdoor Boot all through the woods, through water, as well as up steep creekbanks to test the traction.

Surprise, surprise… it is just as comfortable it not more comfortable than the Trophy Series Tall version that we had reviewed, and it’s nice leather as well. The memory foam footbed is a gamechanger. It’s just so comfortable, it not only protects your feet, but it makes it an option for casual wearing as well.

It also seemed very true to size. I wear a 12. I ordered 12. It fit perfectly.

The Rocky Waterproof construction also kept our feet dry. And, it is so comfortable!

Tips for breaking in hiking boots HERE!
laces of the rocky boot trophy series tall outdoor boot

One little thing that we would change about it, is that the laces are fairly thin. So, there’s a little bit of stretch and slippage. So, a heavier duty lace, one that’s thicker, grips a little better so that you don’t get the stretch-in and the slippage would be great. Of course, this is something you can easily add.

But, the one big thing that I came away with from this particular review, is that I will be wearing this boot not only out in the woods… but, all the time! It’s just so comfortable that, not only can you hike in it and be comfortable and stay dry, but you also can just wear it around town doing different things. You can wear it doing yard work as well.

We do definitely recommend this boot.

Winner, Winner? [The Rocky Boots Trophy Series Tall Hunting Boot Review]

They don’t give participation trophies for quality hunting boots. After all, if you’re going to spend good money on boots, you want quality, durability and functionality. With a lot of great boots on the market, sometimes it can be hard to decide whether they’re going to be good or bad before spending the money.

So, let’s take a look at the Trophy Series Tall Hunting Boot from the Rocky Boot Company and see if they are in fact, a trophy!

The Gritty Details

So, there are two little details about the Trophy Series from Rocky Boot that I really did like.

One is going to seem really simple but it’s the fact that they just fit true to size. Especially when ordering boots online, you worry, “am I going to have to order a size bigger or smaller? Will these really fit?”

The Trophy Series Tall fit true to size. I wear a size 12, so I ordered a size 12 and they fit perfectly. So, that’s just one little detail that’s a positive about this boot. The other thing is that the traction on these boots is outstanding.

When in the woods, walking up creek banks, etc, there were zero issues with traction. They have great traction!

The the thing I really liked about the traction of the Trophy Series Tall is that it’s not really hard rubber. It actually has some give to it. So, in addition to the footbed being comfortable, the outer sole in the traction has some give to it. So that just makes for a more comfortable day in a set of boots.

Another boot that will get you on the right path, HERE!

Another little positive detail about this boot is the rubber portion of the boot does not come up mid-shin. So, it ends right at the ankle area which may not seem important. But, when you’re in the woods and you’re squatting down or you’re kneeling, that is something that if that rubber portion goes up too high on the shin, then it’s just not comfortable, because it’s not easy to flex your ankle and your leg. This boot isn’t like that, and it makes it much more comfortable while scouting.

Final Thoughts On The Pathfinder Hunting Boots

standing in pond with pathfinder muck boots

Well, I spent all day out in the woods on a wet and nasty day, did work on some tree stands and that kind of thing, while getting ready for deer season. And, after all that, my feet are as dry as they can be. So, I think the Muck Boot Company is on to a winner here.

One thing I was surprised about is how comfortable the Pathfinder boots are. We’ve also reviewed the Woody Sport Ankle Boot and I had said in that review that I would order a size smaller than you normally wear. But, with these, I actually have the size that I normally wear with this boot and my feet feel great. So, a little bit of difference there. It may just be how the upper part of the boot holds your foot in place but super comfortable, got lots of work done and my feet are dry.
