Rogue RDB-1 Desert Boots

  1 of 17

  I love my desert boots. I live in the southern U.S and it gets hot and very humid. They kept my feet a lot cooler. I put some high dollar (pounds) insoles in them. This mixed with the crepe soles make for a very comfortable pair of boots.

  Very comfortable and practical summer footwear. Have covered many miles in these with no hot-spots or blisters. Very happy.

  Arrived promptly and well packaged. I bought these to go on a safari in the Timbavati region of South Africa. My advice would be to use them as much as possible prior to going on your trip. They did require a bit of 'walking in', this is clearly due to the thick, good quality leather that is used. Once they became more subtle they are a very comfortable boot. Great on hot days and I also walked up table mountain, a 4hr trek and they had great grip and didn't give me any issues whatsoever. I have fairly narrow feet and they were fine on me but I'm sure would suit wider feet as well. All in all a great product and stylish enough to wear to the pub!

  Purchased for work in Chad. Ideal footwear for hot climates. I had a few issues breaking them in, but after three days and playing around with sock thickness and lacing patterns they are now perfect. I have high arches and wide feet and these match my regular shoe size.

  A good choice for our self drive holiday in Namibia as I wanted a boot that I could also drive in. Comfortable and light in general usage, they are good for climbing sand dunes but not so good for small hard rocky terrain. One minor problem; they are rather wide so unless one is careful they can catch the accelerator pedal when braking.

  Best ever footwear for trekking in summer. Very comfortable and good-looking desert boots. Perfect fit - allow for slight stretching.

  Boots arrived very quickly and in good condition. The South African humourous washing instructions on the box were a funny surprise! Soles comfier and more padded than I'd expected. Look great with jeans! Sizing perfect. Really looking forward to wearing these in a Forest of Dean exploration next month. Only complaint: Swiss customs charged £20 to decide whether to apply Swiss VAT or not (they decided yes, so that was £30 lost). That's not Woodlore's problem, but to be aware of if you order them to be sent to Switzerland. If I'd known, I'd have had them sent to my brother in the UK instead.

  Was a bit wary of buying boots online but transaction worked out well with a quick delivery and good fit. The boots themselves exceed my expectations and are robust and felt extremely comfortable from first wear. Soft padding around the top of the boot protects the ankles and they are stiff enough in the rest of the boot to make walking on uneven surfaces very easy. The leather quality is first class. So far I have only used them to walk the dog but they will be getting a good work out in the Picos de Europe when I go walking there in a couple of week's time. I didn't want to take my Scarpa hiking boots as they are a bit heavy in the summer and I think these boots will make a great alternative. As for the price I don't know how they can do such a great pair of boots for such a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend these.
