Rocky Men's Quickfire 9" 600G Waterproof Insulated Hunting Boot - RKS0652
The Rocky Quickfire RKS0652 is a 9-inch soft-toe hunting boot built for cold-weather treks where you cover ground: 600g PrimaLoft® insulation, a knit waterproof upper, and a multi-terrain rubber outsole. Realtree camo, lace-up. This is a walking-and-glassing boot, not a stand boot for sitting motionless in single digits, and not a safety boot for the jobsite. If you need a steel or composite toe, look elsewhere in the lineup.
Who the Rocky Quickfire Boot Is For
If your hunt means miles before you ever set up, the Quickfire is built around that. Rocky designed it to be light and fast for high-activity terrain, so the weight you're not carrying on your feet is still carried by your legs at the end of the day. Spot-and-stalk, run-and-gun turkey, early-season elk, upland walking: this is the use case. If you're sitting still for hours in freezing cold, a heavier 1000g or 1200g pac boot keeps your feet warmer.
How Warm Is 600g Insulation?
600 grams of PrimaLoft® lofted insulation covers cold mornings and active fall-to-winter hunting where you're on the move and generating your own heat. PrimaLoft holds its loft and warmth better than felt or polyfill, and it doesn't soak up water. For active hunting in freezing temps, 600g is the middle-ground call: warmer than a 400g boot, lighter and less sweaty than a 1000g+ boot you'd want only for true cold and long stillness.
Does It Actually Stay Dry?
The upper is a waterproof, heavy-knit with Hex-Tex SHIELD Guard, backed by Rocky's 1-year Vapor Pass breathable recycled membrane. The membrane is the part that matters: it blocks water from getting in while letting sweat vapor escape, so you're not trading a wet creek crossing for wet socks from your own perspiration on the climb out. A knit upper sheds water and dries faster than heavy leather, which is part of why the boot stays light.
Traction, Comfort, and the Build
-
Multi-terrain rubber outsole: grips on the mixed ground a real hunt throws at you, loose dirt, wet leaves, rock, and root.
-
Lightweight EVA midsole: absorbs impact and keeps the overall weight down over long miles.
-
Rocky Rebound footbed: cushions and returns energy on uneven terrain, where a flat footbed lets your feet fatigue faster.
-
Double-stitch rubber toe guard: protects the toe from rock and brush abrasion, the first place a hunting boot usually wears through.
-
Breathable collar and tongue lining: cuts heat and moisture buildup at the ankle on the climb.
-
9-inch height: covers the ankle for support and keeps out debris, snow, and shallow water.
Sizing and Break-In
A knit-upper boot like this breaks in faster and softer than a stiff full-grain leather boot; there's no long, miserable stretch before it stops fighting your foot. Lace it snug through the ankle before a steep descent to keep your toes off the front. If you're between sizes or run heavy wool hunting socks, account for that when you order.
Care
Don't power-wash it. Knock off mud with a brush and rinse with low-pressure water, then let it air-dry away from direct heat; baking the upper or membrane materials near a heater shortens its life. Treat the waterproofing as a system: keep the upper clean so the membrane can breathe and do its job.
