I bought a pair of Rockey's (sv2's) from Work world in Pembroke (one of the best stores I've ever bought from, owner and staff are awesome)
I love these boots. Their a mix between (IMO) mark 3's and jungle boots. $237 but well Worth it. Their a little heavy (actually pretty noticeable) but I didn't notice wearing them. The first day I had them I broke them in by doing section attacks up and down the Mattawa. 0 break in time and no blisters, everyone else who has them whom I spoke with agree.
Further to the section attack week I wore them for a week of recce patrols and raids and have no comfort issues. Best bots I've purchased.
One issue I've had with them though and hopefully someone can give some advice on what to do.
After the first couple days I noticed the threading coming out of the boots. They still worked but threading shouldn't come out after a day or two. Other people didn't have that problem, figured I got a bum pair of boots.
I took them in to work world and he handed me a brand new pair.
The threading on the second pair is starting to come out. Work world offered to replace them with a brand new pair again however I declined and then they offered to have them fixed up at a shoe repair place (they cover the cost)
The boots are still totally functional but I'm wondering why the threads are starting to pop out.
It's almost like a whole batch of the boots were threaded poorly. Would shoe glue work to kinda seal the threads in?
