Western Look, Light Build
The fancy-stitch shaft is pure western; underneath, an EVA midsole and fiberglass shank keep the boot light enough for a full shift on your feet, and the antimicrobial mesh in the footbed keeps it fresh.
Flex Welt, Easy Entry
The double-row stitch flex welt gives the boot a broken-in feel from the first wear while keeping a stitched sole, and the expansion-fit seam lets the shaft open as you step in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Ride LTE RKW0479 meet?
Rocky lists the carbon-toe RKW0481 and RKW0480 as meeting ASTM F2413 protective toe and electrical hazard standards with a lightweight, non-metallic carbon composite cap. The RKW0479 is the soft-toe version, listed to the ASTM F2892 electrical hazard standard.
Is the Ride LTE waterproof?
Yes. Guaranteed Rocky® waterproof construction seals the boot from the ground up over waterproof full-grain leather.
What is a carbon composite toe?
A non-metallic safety cap reinforced with carbon fiber that meets the same ASTM F2413 impact and compression thresholds as steel at less weight, and does not conduct cold into the toe box.
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. On the carbon-toe versions the cap does not stretch, so size for room across the toes from day one; the expansion-fit seam eases entry.
Is there any metal in the Ride LTE?
The toe on the RKW0481/RKW0480 is carbon composite and the shank is fiberglass on all three, so the boot's structure is non-metallic.
What's the difference between the RKW0481, RKW0480, and RKW0479?
Same waterproof Ride LTE build. The RKW0481 is the 11" carbon-toe boot, the RKW0480 the 8" carbon-toe boot, and the RKW0479 the 8" soft-toe boot with a removable brush-guard kiltie.
