Rocky Lynx Boots

Straight from the off it’s pretty much a given that airgun hunters will take an interest in this boot as at present it’s the only one available in Realtree APG camo. However, it’s not only cosmetics that make it so versatile for all conditions. Surprisingly light in weight, the tough, all-Cordura build has an extended external front and high back reinforcement. A Gore-Tex lining takes care of waterproofing, coupled with a breathable mesh lining whilst 400g of Thinsulate provides good insulation properties.

Eight Inchers

Measuring 8” high from heel of the sole to the top rear of the well padded collar all seams are double stitched. Lacing is catered for by four sets of captive, anti-rust D- rings and three upper speed lace hooks. The wide throat means you can get in and out of them quickly and easily. When worn you appreciate the protection and comfort of the thick yet comfortable EVA midsole and when walking any distance the Terra suspension PU cushion footbed really shows its worth. The ‘Lynx’ are so designed they very much seem to hug your foot from all angles. I can only accredit this to the way the lacing points have been placed and the forgiving yet hard wearing nature of the materials used in manufacture.

The ‘PU cushion footbed’ may seem like techno jargon but while wearing them they do feel very comfortable yet supportive underfoot. In that respect Rocky has got the balance between protection, grip and wearer comfort nigh on perfect.
 
The sole is classed by Rocky as ‘an aggressive all-terrain’ Lynx outsole. They also claim the design evenly distributes pressure for sure-footing on any terrain.’ During testing I can’t dispute this as they coped just as well in the muddy leaf litter of the woods as they did when climbing up steep slippery wet grass hillsides and rocks.

Used and Abused

The light brown colour rubber rand merges well with the overall look and the cleat and lug design suits the name Rocky assigned to it.  Without doubt boots are possibly the most abused piece of kit an active hunter regularly uses. So it pays to buy right and buy quality for both comfort and the protection and grip afforded. I say this as I feel ‘protection, comfort and grip’ are keywords when it comes to the boots on test.

We do now seem to be in a position that we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to quality hunting footwear. Considering the stylish modern camo cosmetics coupled with the superior high quality build make the Rocky Lynx an impressive and unique design.
