Rocky Grindstone XTR 11" Composite Toe Western Work Boot - Brown — RKW0485
A waterproof 11" western work pull-on with an oil-, slip-, barnyard-acid-, and chemical-resisting PU outsole and Rocky's Recycled Waterproof construction.

An Outsole Built for the Barn
The PU outsole is rated to resist oil, slip, barnyard acid, and chemicals — manure, urine, and fertilizer break down standard rubber from the sole up, and this compound is formulated to survive it.
Pull-On Convenience, Flex-Welt Build
The expansion-fit seam lets the shaft open as you step in, so an 11" pull-on goes on without a fight, and the flex welt keeps the boot flexible from the first wear while the fiberglass shank supports the arch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Grindstone XTR RKW0485 meet?
Rocky lists the RKW0485 as meeting ASTM F2413 protective toe (non-metallic composite) and electrical hazard standards. The RKW0483 is the soft-toe version, listed to the ASTM F2892 electrical hazard standard, with non-metallic construction.
Is the Grindstone XTR waterproof?
Yes. Guaranteed Rocky® Recycled Waterproof construction seals the boot from the ground up over a waterproof full-grain leather upper.
What does barnyard acid resistance mean?
The PU outsole is formulated to resist manure, urine, and fertilizer acids that break down ordinary rubber — a livestock-and-ag detail, not the same as chemical-resistant footwear for industrial solvents.
How should a pull-on western fit?
Fit at the instep and heel matters more than length on a pull-on, since there are no laces. The expansion-fit seam eases entry; size for a snug heel with a slight slip that settles as the leather breaks in.
Is there any metal in the Grindstone XTR?
The RKW0483 is listed as non-metallic construction with a fiberglass shank; the RKW0485 pairs a non-metallic composite toe with the same fiberglass shank.
What's the difference between the RKW0485 and RKW0483?
Same waterproof 11" Grindstone XTR — full-grain leather, flex welt, fiberglass shank, Air-Port Lite® footbed, and the acid-resisting PU outsole. The RKW0485 adds an ASTM F2413 composite safety toe; the RKW0483 is the soft-toe version.
