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
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!
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.
