Rocky warranty for work boots
The short version
Rocky doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole product and gore-tex liner (leaks) covered to 1 year. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Rocky's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded
What it leaves out
- Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
- Covers the original buyer only, and only if bought from Rocky or an authorized US seller. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase.
- Rocky pays shipping to send the boots to Rocky. The fix is a replacement pair, or a similar pair if yours are discontinued.
- Using polishes, oils or chemicals Rocky doesn't recommend can void the warranty.
