With the winter months fast approaching, we were really pumped when Rockport sent over a pair of Break Trail Wing boots for review. These boots make quite an impression when you first try them on and they are perfect for a guy on the go, as they’re the perfect mix of rugged style and handsome sophistication. The leather and suede uppers are full-grain leather, which is easy to clean, maintain and extends product life. The Break Tail Wing boots provide a casual look, great comfort and serious style while others are just trying to keep warm. Many boots look good, but the Rockport Break Trail Wing’s boast exposed high-tech adiPRENE that provides shock absorbing heel cushioning that takes comfort to the next level.

It’s that time to gear up for the colder months, and there’s no better way than to check out these hot new Rockports.

Product Review: Rockport Ledge Hill Chukka Boots

rockport

Even though we’re still in the summer months, it’s never too early to start thinking about fall style. We all need a few pair of boots in our arsenal, and after testing the Rockport Ledge Hill Chukka Boots, there’s no doubt that guys out there should make room for these stylish offerings.

Our black pair sported adiPRENE, which provides shock absorbing heel cushioning for out of this world comfort; leather and suede uppers that are easy to clean and maintain to extend product life; as well as suede leather, which provides a casual look and great comfort. I found that these sharp boots work great with a business look and have an appearance that’s as casual as I want to take it that day! For those in the colder and wet climates, some styles are also waterproof. I found some at a great price here, or go to Rockport.com to learn more!

Rockport Lux Lodge Boots Review

With winter fast approaching, it’s about that time to get your gear ready for the freezing lements. One key component to not only staying warm in the colder months but also keeping a sense of style is having the right winter boots. Well, we have good news for all of our readers out there searching for warm and stylish boots as we just reviewed the new Lux Lodge boots from Rockport, and we were impressed. These great looking boots will be worn by the staff at the Aspen Snowmass ski resorts this winter season and Bullz-Eye.com can certainly understand this choice after testing the Lux Lodges. The Lux Lodge boots sport a padded collar and tongue to help prevent blisters and lace bruising; upper reflective details that promotes safety in the dark (ideal for nighttime walking); and waterproof full-grain leather that helps keep your feet dry and makes them easy to clean and extends product life.

These are also very comfortable boots, and part of the reason why is technonolgy including EVA with adidas adiPRENE, which is a highly shock-absorbent cushioning that protects the heel at impact, CMEVA which provides lightweight shock absorption for reducing foot and leg fatigue, and a rubber outsole that provides a durable grip on a variety of surfaces. Keeping your feet warm and dry is something Rockport invested in the new Lux Lodge’s with 3M Thinsulate lightweight insulation that helps keep feet warm in cold weather, and the impressive Hydro-Shield waterproofing substances that are tanned into the leather consisting of a special seam sealant which helps keep feet dry in wet weather.

Now, what was also impressive is the reaction from folks who commented on the sleek styling of the Lux Lodges, which is basically a huge bonus when you consider how effective they are in keeping your feet warm and dry and extremely comfortable while in the cold. Looking good is always important, and though staying warm is number one when you’re in freezing conditions, style was obviously still very high on the list at Rockport with the Lux Lodge.
