Rover GORE-TEX Reviews

Sitka quality throughout with one issue

Just wore these boats for the first time a couple days this last weekend. Very comfortable, lightweight and great for muddy, wet terrain and parking lots. I will typically wear these boots before and after the hunt; after taking off my waders. They are extremely difficult to put on however and a quite a labor. I hope that the neoprene will stretch out over time. In the meanwhile, I would strongly suggest you carry a shoe horn.

Light and tight

Lightweight, easy to put on and take off. If you thick at the cankle may not be for you otherwise a great light shoe for hunting

Good quality as always

A little stiff when you first get them but once they’re broken in they’re very comfortable

Boot

Boot has a great look and feel the size was right I just got the wrong size.

Great boot, even better customer service

I read some of the reviews before I purchased and a review mentioned that the boot was challenging to get on and off. I found the pull tabs made putting on the boot simple. After a week of wearing the boots, one of the pull tabs broke. Sitka customer service took care of me and had new boots out to me very quickly. I wore these on a wet morning elk hunt and my feet stayed dry. 5 miles in them and my feet felt great. Wonderful overall boot. Looking forward to wearing them in early season field hunts for waterfowl

Super thin

Was hoping these actually fit right but were super tight getting them on and then once they were on they were tight wish they had a wide size

Excellent purchase. If you have

Excellent purchase. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking a pair up.

Great Boots

Exactly what I was looking for

A little snug to get

A little snug to get on around the ankle however they are very comfortable and true to size. I hope it will be a little easier to get on as they break in. I've received a lot of questions from people when they see the Sitka logo and how I like them.

Meh. . .

Loud while walking and not super easy to take on/off.

Boots are great fit is

The were a nice looking boot. But the opening was too small and made it very hard to put it on.

Ankle Too Tight

Something not talked about enough for these boots is the ankle HURTS! Bought these as a pair of boots to wear to work and I wear them 10+ hours a day and the first week was horrible. They do break in a little bit the ankle needs work bad. Never worn a pair of deck boots like these that rubbed the back of my Achilles the way these do. All that being said comfort and durability for the sole is unmatched.

These quickly blistered my achilles

These quickly blistered my achilles and I was underwhelmed by the comfort of the sole. Very disappointing.

Great shoe keep my feet dry . My feet don’t hurt after wearing them all day.

Decent shoe. Comfortable enough. Tight

Decent shoe. Comfortable enough. Tight openings for the ankles.

Hard to get on, but comfy and great looking

I went for the Gore-Tex version of the boot since reviews on the leather version mentioned difficulty to get on. Well. . these are difficult to get on as well. I do have a slightly higher than normal instep, so that likely contributes to the struggle. Once my foot is firmly planted inside then they do fit well. Arch support is lacking, but a $12 pair of rigid arch support orthotics easily fixed that. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Concept: 10 Execution: 3

The concept is great. They’re very light, and the foot is comfortable but the ankle is awful. Weird heel “pads” jabbing into you, extremely rigid and tight ankle. Not sure you could break these in enough to fix the problem. This is the first item I haven’t absolutely loved from Sitka, hopefully these improve on the next round of design.

Look great and are comfortable.

Look great, comfortable.

Great boot to kick around in. Would like to have them maybe in brown

Best!

i wear them everyday around the office. They are perfect!

RTX Boot

Wore it barefoot for the first 2 hours and went to REI to grab something. Came back with a blister from the right boot. The blister was constant friction at the back of the boot where materials were sewn for the finger loop attachment to help slid your foot into the boot. Now i have to wear thick socks or some reinforcement padding when wearing this boot. Other then that, I like it. It looks nice and feels light.

Great After Waders Boot

Easy slip on with loops and comfortable and dry camp shoes.

my go to boots around the farm

gtx rovers are light and confortble waterproof love them for around the farm or out in the field shooting doves

They are great but there’s this one thing you can’t get past

Love these shoes look great feel great. Wish they had a wide option for us fat feet people. But the back absolutely shreds your heal like no other!! Had to cut a slit in the back to let my heal free and they are much better. Shouldn’t have to cut a $175 pair of boots to make em even wearable tho.

Good shoes

Good shoes

Well made

They are well made but take a few days to break in. After break it they are comfortable.

Rubs blisters on my legs,

Rubs blisters on my legs, hard to put on

Great boot

Great boot so far and light ! Haven’t put it to a real test yet but soon !

Comfortable waterproof boot

I wear size 12 and the boot fit well. I have worn them a few times cutting wood and through the woods with little break in time. I am looking forward to putting them to the test this fall.

Not Comfortable

They look sweet but the comfort is horrible. They are way to tight around the ankles. I’m very disappointed. I was hopeful I could “break them in” and then the comfort would improve. That did not happen and I think I’m going to need to make some adjustments if I plan on keeping them.

New Go-To Boot

I've been in the market for a boot like this for some time. Something I could throw on quick, but provided all the same benefits as a regular set of hunting boots. I'm in between sizes at 11. 5, so I opted to size up, and that was definitely the move. Size 11 would have been to small. Very comfy, very breathable, and very convenient. I

Boot fit

People looking to buy these boots if you have a wide foot, I do not recommend these. The neoprene pocket or boot sleeve in the boot is real narrow hard to get the boot on. I’m gonna have to send mine back. I wear a size 14 it took me like five minutes to get the boot on and I don’t want a pair of boots that takes that long to get on the boot size was fine. Great material great soul and it’s an all-around good looking boot. I’m just sorry that it’s not made for people with wide foot. .

Amazing Boot

Great boot, I have a pretty standard width foot / arch. If you aren't one of the very few people on the fringes this boot fits perfecty.

Great boot, very comfy

Nice boot, very pleased. Great color

Big disappointment

Uncomfortable to wear. From crushing the toes together to minimal sole comfort. Plus the opening to put your fit in is way too narrow. They suck to put on. Very tough to do.
