Built for Elite Wildland Firefighters
The Rocky Code Red: Wildlands 77 is purpose-built for wildland firefighting and NFPA 1977 certified. Fire-resistant, full-grain flesh-out leather, laces, and Nomex® fire-resistant stitching stand up to the demands of the fire line, while sidewall stitch construction keeps the Vibram® Fire and Ice jungle outsole securely bonded to the upper through hard use.
Inside, a fiberglass shank relieves impact on the foot and the removable Rocky® Air-Port Comfort footbed adds cushioning for long shifts. Built in unisex sizing, this boot is designed to outfit every member of a wildland crew.

Frequently Asked Questions
What certification does this boot carry?
The Wildlands 77 is NFPA 1977 certified, the national standard for wildland firefighting protective footwear.
Can women wear this boot?
Yes. It's built in unisex sizing — women should subtract 2 sizes from their current shoe size to find their fit.
How does the speed lacing system work?
The Speed Lace Hook & Lacing System uses hooks in the upper eyelets for quick, secure lacing — built for getting boots on fast when time matters.
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. The welted, sidewall-stitched construction is designed to be serviced and resoled, extending the boot's working life.
How does the Code Red Wildlands fit?
It runs true to size in men's sizing — order the size you wear in athletic shoes. Lace it snug through the speed hooks so the heel locks on side-hill terrain, and the Air-Port footbed is removable if you run your own insole.
How do I care for the Code Red Wildlands?
Brush off ash and dirt, let the boot dry fully away from direct heat before the next shift, and condition the flesh-out leather sparingly every few months. The sidewall-stitched construction means a cobbler can resole it when the Vibram outsole wears.
