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.

Dear Lewis, Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you were happy with the quality and breathability of the Rogue boots you purchased from us but we are very sorry that they did not fit. We have tried to make the generous fit as clear as possible on our website, but we will review this again to help our future customers. Thank you for your feedback.

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.

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.

No. The Rogue range of boots are designed with the African bush in mind and therefore are not waterproof.
