Rogue RDB-1 Desert Boots

  1 of 23

  These are my second pair of Rogue desert boots and as with my first pair I am very pleased with them. My first pair have lasted me about 8 years or so, going through three sets of heels and a complete re-sole, the uppers are still in good condition the leather looks like it will easily last another 8 years. These are now relegated to working in the garage and garden. I've used them for day to day wear at home and work, shopping trips, job interviews, fishing trips ,walks in the woods and in the hills. Breaking in takes a while, about a month with daily use so I'd recommend a thick wool hiking sock for this period after that any thing will do. They are not waterproof so treating them with suede water proofer is a good idea. However they do dry quickly which is useful on fishing trips. I replace the insoles to something more supportive but that's my preference. Once broken in they are very comfortable and i can say one of the best pair of shoes I've ever had.

  My partner bought these Desert boots for me as a present as I'd had them before in the army. (not issued). I had several pairs over the years, only getting a new pair after they wore out. They simply are the best DB's out there. I used to go out in them, then as they wore older, played football in them, ran in them, the go-to put on for knockabout footwear in the dry. Very, very good for traveling in as they are so comfy. Built well, if you find them hard on the foot they can easily have your own insoles in them. When the laces wear out paracord does very well if not for a first choice. (smile). Spraying them with a guard is a good idea as they do stain easily if you don't.

  Cracking pair of boots, I own several pairs of the RB5 boots and decided to try a pair of these as Rouges quality and fit is excellent. I was not disappointed with these, super comfortable straight from the box, like wearing slippers. Not as heavy duty as the RB5's but they aren't supposed to be. Perfect boot for travelling and smart enough for evening wear/smart casual. As always great build quality from Rogue and perfect service from RM Bushcraft.

  As always a great service from Woodlore and the boots are by far the best Desert Boots I have had. They are well made with a sturdy ankle support, good quality sole and leather. They are not bulky looking yet give room for the toes to spread. The only thing I did do was remove the pulls at the back. I didn't need them and they just got in the way of the trousers. All in all a great pair of boots for summer wear. Five stars. Thanks Woodlore.

  Good but slightly uncomfortable at certain points on the foot.

  The Rogue desert boots arrived in very good time. Size 10.5 that fit my size 10 feet very well with plenty of room for my toes. The suede leather uppers are really great quality, as are the laces and very strong metal eyelets. I have used them regularly since they arrived and they really are becoming more comfortable every time l use them, next month l confidently expect them to be as comfy as slippers. Thanks a million for a great desert boot. On the strength of this I will soon be ordering a pair of leather light trail boots.

  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.
