Rocky Eliminator eVent Waterproof 400G Insulated Public Service Boot Size 13(WI)

The Rocky eliminator was the boot I wore as a career firefighter and paramedic, and later, for 14 years as a police officer. Basically I wore these boots for uniform duty use from about 1980 until my retirement from Law Enforcement in 2010. They worked in the street, in the woods, and rappelling down cliffs. I bought a new pair whenever the soles wore out on the old pairs. I am used to the old style of eliminators, with the cordura uppers. After I retired, I had difficulty finding these boots in extra wide sizes locally. I found them online and am very glad I ordered them. I am thrilled that they uppers are full leather now, more of a uniform look and easier to keep neat and clean. The tread depth on the soles seem to have less depth than those I wore for 30 years and it surely is a different, softer material. I won't be wearing these daily anymore as my time in uniform is over so they should last a good long time. They are the same fit and finish and Rocky Quality I am used to, and made in Puerto Rico, which is the US! . I am glad that I ordered them.

I am a retired law enforcement officer that put in almost (40) years of duty and during that time I wore Rocky Eliminator boots. They were comfortable even in the summer time. These boots lasted me a long time. I went through two pair during the course of my employment This is my third pair and I expect them to last for a long time to come. When I first started law enforcement I tried a different brand of winter boots. They didn't last to long. Then our agency started providing another brand of boots. After awhile the soles of these boots started to deteriorate. Finally they began to provide Rocky Boots and that was the last of my boot issues. The soles of my first two pair of Rocky's wore down because of normal wear and tear. I probably was a little rough on them. Their great boots. The majority of my fellow officers also wore Rocky's.
