Rockport Men's Storm Surge Water Proof Plain Toe Boot

For the past two and a half years, my Rockport boots with Hydro-Shield waterproofing have been an absolute workhorse. As someone with a five-day work week and a rough daily commute that throws everything from downpours to unexpected puddles my way, these boots have truly been put to the test – and they have passed with flying colors.The Hydro-Shield technology is no joke. Despite being completely drenched on numerous occasions, my feet have remained consistently dry. This waterproof feature has been a game-changer, especially during those unpredictable weather days. I no longer have to worry about soggy socks or the discomfort of wet feet throughout my workday.What's truly remarkable is the overall condition of the boots after such consistent and demanding use. Aside from some expected wear on the soles, the boots look and feel almost new. The leather has held up beautifully, showing minimal signs of wear and tear. The stitching is still intact, and the overall construction remains solid and dependable.These Rockport boots have proven to be incredibly durable and resilient. They've handled daily wear, challenging commutes, and all sorts of weather conditions without showing significant signs of aging. The fact that after two and a half years of near-daily wear, the only noticeable wear is on the soles speaks volumes about the quality of materials and construction.If you're looking for a pair of reliable, comfortable, and truly waterproof boots that can withstand the rigors of daily life and demanding conditions, I wholeheartedly recommend these Rockport Hydro-Shield boots. They are an investment that will undoubtedly pay off in the long run, providing years of dependable service. I'm incredibly impressed with their longevity and performance.

Fit to size and while firm they are very comfortable. Strong toe and they are waterproof. I like these a lot for work.

I love these boots. I knew I would, as I already had them in brown and wanted a black pair. My issue is the way they mailed them. They showed up in one of those thin plastic like envelope things and the box was absolutely destroyed. Besides that, these have most likely been sent out to someone else before me. That's fine, if you try on shoes in a store, chances are someone else has tried them on. But they showed up dirty. The bottom of the boots has stuff all over them and the tops of the boots had some scuffs. Overall, I would recommend these....they are comfortable, will withstand water, look good, etc. But come on Rockport, at least make sure they are clean before you mail them out and think about giving the box a little more protection, as I know you would have blamed me if I had sent them back.

The most comfortable pair of work boots I've ever had.I highly recommend them.

My husband loves these boots this is his second pair they are low soles and he loves that because he is over 6 foot tall

I have worn Rockport shoes and boots for many years and have been very satisfied with them until my most recent purchase (discussed below).Below is the text of the email that I sent to the company. I never received a reply. Based on my most recent experience I feel that the brand’s quality control has pretty much gone to hell. Therefore, I advise against purchasing Rockport products. Since I never recieved a reply from Rockport I took my new pair of boots to a local cobbler to have the soles re-glued.Text of email to Rockport (April 30, 2025):I purchased a pair of Rockport men’s storm surge waterproof plain toe boot (G24, brown, men's 12M) on December 10, 2024 and I’ve been slowly breaking them in over time. On April 27, 2025 I had them on when another hiker accidentally stepped on my right heel from behind which tore the sole from the boot. I have had several pairs of a previous model of Rockport boots (H79448, brown, men's 12M) and they have lasted years. I was expecting the same quality from these boots, but it is clearly not there. I would like either a refund or a replacement with your previous model hiking boot as noted above, which was far superior to this one.Zero stars - the one star rating was required in order to accept the review.

I love these boots. They are comfortable. I like the look. I've literally walked many miles in them, in many parts of the US and six countries in Europe. I like everything about them, except one word."Waterproof."They aren't. They aren't remotely waterproof. They aren't even "water resistant. I was shocked to find my feet getting damp walking on wet sidewalk and concrete. Wet grass? Soaked. I never wore them in the rain before I started trying to waterproof them myself, and I tried everything I could find. They would not "take" the added stuff, but they weren't waterproof themselves. Last fall in Belgium, I actually had to wear them in the rain. Oh my. Squeak, squish, slosh.I'm sorry to have to search for something else, but-- especially when traveling-- I really need "waterproof" shoes to BE waterproof, and these aren't.Great walking boot (once you replace the laces, which are really cheap crap). But for dampness... find something else.

Comfortable day one! True to size.
