Not bad but certainly not the best
Owned for a year. Already worn hole in shift toe. Very waterproof, but not warm in winter. Below 32F expect very cold toes. Toe is very thick/stiff at first, leads to strange shifting feeling. Can walk in but no arch support, more than hour leads to foot ache. Not good for oily surfaces. Sole is thin and wears quickly. Gets sweaty in humid 85F plus. Doesn't make good primary boot, but is once again truly waterproof. Literally can wade to just below ankles in them and stay dry.

You get what you pay for
Yes, they are comfortable and they will be water proof for a while. I have been using these boots for 3 years now for a daily commute. My biggest complaint is the Velcro system. It will not hold the boot. Not sure how this will affect the performance in the crash. Second, leather has cracked / split where it joins the plastic bits. Possibly a regular application of the boot polish could have prevented this.

Comfy on and off bike, lacks ankle support
I can ride or walk all day in these, took almost zero break in time and they are true to size. They are (so far) pretty waterproof.
Only complaint: I personally don't think they offer enough ankle support. It's much better than riding in non-riding boots, but next time I'll get something with a more supportive and protective ankle.

Joe Rocket boots
These are some great boots! My feet do not get wet any more when it's raining. Can be worn all day if loosened a little as they are a little snug when all strapped up but when you wanna do some serious riding you will love that snug feeling. Would recommend to any fellow rider.

Quality boot good value
I wear a size 12 that is fairly wide. These boots fit very well the first time on. I wore them to work for 8 hours the next day with no problems whatsoever. The leather/plastic combination is fairly stiff and I hope will soften somewhat. Very comfortable riding and if they soften will even be better. The thick toebox took some getting used to getting it under the shift lever.

Great Boots for the price
I really like these boots. They are way better for riding than just work boots. They are comfortable once you break them in (which does not take long at all). My only gripe would be the Velcro to close the boot, it does not hold especially well although the metal latch will ensure the boot stays on your foot. Not a big deal but if I had to pick at something it would be that. Sizing was exactly what I wear for work boots (one size smaller than my sneaker size). I have been very happy with all Joe Rocket products I have bought. Overall Great Boot!

Very satisfied
I was a bit apprehensive about ordering size 11 as I usually wear 10.5. Usually the 11 fits loose, but I got them anyway as I needed a pair of riding boots and there didn’t seem to be anyone out there offering half sizes at a decent price. Anyway, they fit perfect, they are very comfortably and I have no problems shifting, braking, or just riding around. Haven’t worn them in rain and haven’t owned them long enough to know durability, but they seem to be decent quality. Motorcycle Superstore had free and quick shipping and I am very satisfied with them.

Great boot for the money
I had these boots for about 11 months. I wear a size 12.5 and the size 13 boot fit surprisingly well. After 3 months I replaced the sole insert and the boots were comfortable enough to wear all day. But after 3 or 4 months the Velcro started to tear off of the boot leaving it feeling much less secure and around 8 months the majority of the rubber on the heel of the boot had worn off. I had a 50 minute commute to school and the waterproofing worked perfectly, never once had wet feet wearing these. Also kept my feet warm while riding in thunder storms and slight snow flurries during October.

new rockets boots
Wear a 9.5 reg shoe. The 10 size fits great, wore them for 6 hours prior to riding, felt very comfortable except for that fold in the inner material, but played with it for awhile and all seems good. Ride a ZG100 C14, had a problem with the shift due to thickness of the boot in the shift area, but after a while am sure I will get used to it good value for the price not a bad looking boot to boot!!!

Get these...
The fit is smooth, and walking around in them isn't a comfort issue. Waterproof in the rain (I treated with Nikwax but don't think I needed to), and they breath well. The soles do well to prevent slips on oil, grease, and other slick road hazards, but they were a bit dicey after the first rain we had up here. Anything would slide under those conditions, so it's more of a head's-up than a complaint of any kind.
