Great product, soft and light and comfortable. Good for putting the miles in on a summer's day hike.

I really like these boots! Very comfortable, and actually very smart looking. They also give me a good deal of ankle support, which is lacking in some footwear. They are good quality - and I recommend them.

A solid lightweight boot. I've now quietly snuck around woodland photographing wildlife and walked stoney mountain tracks in snowdonia in them, they excelled at both and were comfortable straight out of the box, though they do indeed get wet relatively quickly; they also dry out fast and with some Dubbin on them and water proof socks it really isn't an issue.
I am a relatively wide size 10 and 10.5 fits me nicely with some toe wiggling room just as I like it.

I bought these partly because being properly made; I will be able to resole them but failing that I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat

The Rogue RB2 boot is a good quality boot with excellent breathability.
However as most people would likely agree, the critical feature of any boot besides aesthetics/breathability/etc is the fit.

I have unfortunately had to give this product a poor rating as the sizing on the pair I received was dramatically larger than any other 10.5 sized footwear I've ever used or worn. I purchased with the full understanding of a 'generous and spacious' fit, but this pair was easily an entire size above. I can actually fit an entire tea cloth behind my heel in the laced boot.

This is my second pair as I concluded after a weeks wearing, the first pair were too big. That was 2017. They have changed with the leather being much darker now. The sole is a lighter weight with a different tread pattern and better laces that are brown - not the original green and they feel like a lighter boot all round. Perhaps a little less padding in the upper ankle area than my first pair. The design of the original pair didn't need updating in my honest opinion however they remain a good looking and comfortable sturdy boot. Excellent service from the Ray Mears team as ever.

Great pair of boots. Very comfortable after their first outing. Good coating of Rouge Leather Treatment means they are ready for action. Worn for all sorts of activities since purchased and all is good. They are not too heavy for general wear.
Again great products from Ray Mears.

I did a very wet riverside walk with a friend recently. My Gore-tex boots were flooded and remained so for the remainder of a 9 mile walk. I recalled a Ray Mears program where he said "wear non waterproof boots and waterproof socks". Remembering this I searched for non Gore-tex lined boots, how difficult could it be. Horrendous is the answer - then I thought does Ray sell them? Eureka... he does, and what a fantastic pair of boots they are! I did an 8.9 mile wet river walk straight out of the box, great grip, super comfy, not a hint of a blister, and when teamed with waterproof socks exceeded my every expectations. I will really consider buying a spare pair, I love them.

Love these boots!
Well worth the extra shipping to get them to the United States.
Extremely comfortable with excellent construction.
Highly recommended!

Hmmm, these boots are an interesting one! Having worn them for 10 months, and being blessed to live just off the Pennines, I feel I'm in a position to objectively review these boots from the perspective of someone in the North of the UK.

I was under no illusions when purchasing that these bad boys wouldn't be waterproof - and props to Woodlore for their transparency in that regard. These really are boots that are crafted (and they are crafted rather than made or produced) with a warm clime in mind. The downside of that is that in a more temperate zone they struggle in terms of practicality - a particularly dew laden field will leave you squelching!

With these qualifiers considered, I'd still recommend these boots, and especially if you're planning to use them for the purpose they're designed rather than exposing them to the varied Yorkshire climate!

I've knocked a star off for two reasons. Most significantly, the sizing is just atrocious - I normally wear a 9.5, and even the 8.5 is a bit baggy on me, with insoles. The second point is the wear in factor, which I'm sure most potential purchasers would be aware of with any leather boot, but some rough finishing on my example exacerbated the issue - these are not a pair of boots you can buy and go put 20 miles into without breaking them in first, which is worth considering if you are used to man-made materials. I've also seen some signs that these may struggle in terms of longevity- already there are some glue marks evident above seems, but I will reserve judgement on that until they have another few months use! The stitching seems really robust, so I could well be worrying unnecessarily, particularly given that these are in no way a waterproof construction.

So, the short version would be: if you're looking for a pair of boots that are going to be robust enough to survive anything in a dry environment then you've found your new footwear.

Nb: once broken in these are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.

Boots are spot on and everything I had hoped they would be. Arrived really quickly in a day or two.

These boots do look great but, when I initially received them there was a seam where the tongue is attached to the main body that was very uncomfortable. I was hoping it would settle down with wearing but, it was difficult to go very far as it made my feet sore. I did make them good by inserting a long anvil into the boot and hitting the seam with a hammer to "tenderise" it. Not what I was expecting to do after reading the write ups.
I was contacted by the Bushcraft team to leave feedback, I replied to the email asking for help with my issue but never received a reply, that was over three weeks ago.
I am sure not everybody has an issue with these, and they are great now they have been worked on and feel as good as they look. But if you do have the same problem as me then hopefully this has helped.

Just received my boots, thank you to all at Woodlore. Straight out of the box and onto my feet. The leather feels great, very, very comfortable, looking forward to trying them out this weekend. The leather feels very soft and the shape of the boot fits my feet really well. Compared to my old Mendl boots, which are well past their sell by date now, these feel very light on my feet. Once I've giving them a good run in I shall send another review. This may be a small concern but I love the appearance and the quality. Oh, talking about quality, again, thank you for your prompt and reliable service.

Well constructed, consistant strong leather for the whole boot, will require a good breaking in period. Excellent.

As comfy as your favorite pair of slippers, unfortunately the soles fell off after 15 months. I'm going to get them repaired however.

First impressions are excellent. The boots are stiff as some other reviewers said, but I think this is a great sign that they haven't gone through any artificial wearing process during manufacture. Aesthetically the boots look good too, good colour and shape and quite clearly very high quality. This is my first day with them, so I don't know how they will do in the long run, but first impressions are very good. The sizing is slightly big, I normally fit 10, and bought the 9 1/2 for these boots on the advice of other reviews, which is pretty much perfect, if not still slightly long around the toes. But I have pretty stubby toes anyway, so not a big issue. Finally, as usual, customer service has been top quality with woodlore, they got the product to my door with next day delivery, no problem at all.

Very nicely made boots from lovely leather but the shape of them did not suit my feet. They were very flat soles and the front of the boot dig into my toes making them really uncomfortable to wear. I think is partly due to the shape of my feet and partly due to the shoe design particularly of the toe cap.

Very comfy and a great day-to -day boot, but require some serious breaking in. The leather is very thick and they certainly seem very robust and hard wearing because of this, however it does mean that there is nearly no ankle flexibility until softened. This was a particular issue around the tongue where, because of the bellows tongue, there is at least 6mm of folded leather between the laces and your foot.
They are also very roomy so excellent for wearing thick socks, which are almost a necessity. I'm size 10 and the size 9.5s are, if anything, slightly too big.

I've had these for nearly a month now and have worn them every day. They were bought to replace a pair of lightweight Berghaus walking boots I'd had for a couple of years. Firstly, the usual first class service from Woodlore make buying stuff from them so easy. 36 hours from ordering to putting them on! On opening the box I was impressed by the ruggedness and strength of the leather and design. These are "proper" outdoor leather boots! At first they seemed a little "clumpy" when walking round. The leather, being fairly thick, was quite stiff and it took a couple of days for them to soften and "bend" when walking. I can't say I'd be happy doing a long multi mile/day walk straight from the box because of that. But after a day or two of local walking, for a good hour or two they were much better. The full bellows tongue is very soft and comfortable and doesn't dig in to the top of your foot. They do leak! But it doesn't flood in like some boots. The absence of a "Gore-Tex" type lining is the main issue with that I think. But the upshot, and I'm now a convert to non "Gore-Tex" boots, is they dry out quickly and by the time I've walked home, assuming its not raining!, they were virtually dry. By the end of the day, just with them sat in the boot cupboard, they were dry again inside and out. I rinse them off under a tap after walks and wash them with saddle soap weekly, then apply a dubbin to them to help the moisture reduction. That and a pair of waterproof socks and it's happy days! Three and a half weeks later they are comfy and pliable and are some of the nicest walking boots I've owned. I did buy some gel inserts before I bought them, after reading a couple of the reviews, but so far haven't used them, and I don't think I will be doing. Why add something that will trap any moisture and prevent them drying? And for me they're not needed as an insole, the boots are fine without. The next tests will be my Journeyman Course in October and Namibia in November with Ray. At least then if they fail there I've got someone to complain too! But seriously I don't think I will be doing. A very happy customer all round!

Very nice boot, well made and comfortable, I would recommend Rogue RB-2 Light Trail Boots

All I can say is "buy these boots. Don't look any further!" I've tried tons of similar designed boots and these are a world apart. I will be buying more once I wear the soles out! probably in 10 years! Absolutely excellent boots and seriously comfortable.

Really comfortable boot from the start. Soft, yet supportive. Size is good - consistent with other brands. Shaped at rear to prevent trousers snagging. Very pleased with this purchase - would recommend.

Love these boots. I bought them in a hurry when I realised I didn't have a suitable pair of boots for a recent trip to New Zealand, and they arrived the day before I left. They've been great and I find I'm wearing them all the time as they are so comfortable. Was a bit worried about sizing - I'm usually a 9.5 - 10, depending on manufacturer, so I ordered the 9.5. They fit great, although I'd need to break them in a bit if I wanted to wear thick hiking socks. I also replaced the inner soles with a much better aftermarket pair. Overall, great value for money. Great boots that I'll wear a lot.

Love these. Generous toe box makes them very comfortable amongst other nice attributes. Hammered them in the Kimberley last year with no break-in period and they performed nicely.

Vey comfortable boots. Brand new at the mo, so not had a chance to wear in, but v. good so far.

Solid sturdy boots - comfortable right out of the box. Seem well made. Depeding on what your job is they are (at least when new) smart enough to wear with a pair of jeans.

These are made from extremely soft leather which makes them a pleasure to wear. This combined with the soft padding around the ankles means they are ready to go from day 1 without any wearing in. I'm starting to see a trend here, it would appear that items for sale from Woodlore really have been thought through and tested....

I bought these as an alternative to wearing walking boots all the time when working outdoors, and they are fantastic. They are light and comfortable and have a wide toe box which allows my feet to properly relax and flex when walking. The workmanship and finish is solid - they are built to last. The leather is supple and didn't need any breaking in or pre-treatment. Their first outing was on a wet weekend in February and they performed admirably; although the leather eventually became wet, my socks and feet were dry and warm due to the fact that body heat was able to circulate correctly - something not always possible in damp Goretex lined boots. The only addition I have made is a pair of Sorbothane insoles for extra comfort and a good soaking of Neatsfoot oil to help keep out the dirt and damp. Apart from that, a scrub with a brush and air drying is all thats needed. These aren't boots for climbing Ben Nevis, so if you need extra ankle support these might not be for you; but I like the fact that the low sole and flexible construction encourage my feet and ankles to move as they were designed to. Boots and sleeping bags - if you're not in one, you're in the other! Money well spent!
