I was trying for a long time to replace my "original" type elastic sided Blundstones with the heavy solid sole with an equivalent from another bootmaker. Preferably Australian made. Many "modern" boots I have tried are too hot for me due to insulated soles construction.I realise there is a market for them but not for me in coastal Western Australia.Over the years I have worn Rossi Ripple sole desert boots and I liked those very much.My wife has had Rossi elastic sided boots for years bought at country chandler type stores in the wheatbelt of WA.I wish I had found these Rossi Booma boots earlier in the piece !So far so good

I like the boots. They are well put together but the sizing is about half a size out. We live in the country, so it is almost impossible to find a stockist of that particular boot to either try on or let alone purchase. We have no choice but to order online and hope for the best. Now that I have a pair and have used them for a couple of weeks, I know that a half size smaller would have been better.

Well honestly this is my second pair of Rossi boots I have a pair of endura 11 that fit me like a glove. Not sure what’s different between them but I’m getting extreme pain across the bridge of both feet. I no longer have the box to return them, plus have tried wearing them for short periods to wear them in with no luck. I would recommend getting a half size up for the extra width.
