Waterproof by Construction
Vulcanized rubber over ripstop neoprene is waterproof with no membrane or seams to fail, and the rubber overlays reinforce the wear points where brush and rock hit.
Dry-Strike SRX Traction
The oil- and slip-resisting outsole carries Dry-Strike SRX tread on the high-contact areas — the compound and pattern Rocky uses for footing on wet rock, mud, and boat decks.
Why Choose the Rocky RKS0720?
A waterproof, lightweight rubber boot with reinforced neoprene and serious wet-ground traction — the pick for marsh edges, wet fields, and camp chores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Backlands waterproof?
Yes. Vulcanized rubber over 4mm ripstop neoprene is waterproof by construction, with no membrane or seams to fail.
Is the Backlands RKS0720 snakeproof?
The 16" RKS0720 carries a high-abrasion ripstop neoprene snake guard with rubber overlays for 16 inches of snakeproof protection. The 6" RKS0717 is an ankle boot without snake protection.
Is the Backlands insulated?
The 4mm neoprene provides light, inherent insulation for cool weather; it is not a winter boot. For deep cold, look at a 1,000g+ rubber boot.
How should a rubber boot fit?
Rubber boots run roomier than leather; order your normal size and try it with the sock you hunt in. The pull loops make the 6" quick on and off, and the 16" needs a little effort at the calf until the neoprene softens.
What is Dry-Strike SRX tread?
Rocky's wet-traction tread compound and pattern, placed on the high-contact areas of the outsole for footing on wet rock, mud, and slick decks.
What's the difference between the RKS0720 and RKS0717?
Same Backlands rubber construction, EVA midsole, and Dry-Strike SRX outsole. The RKS0720 is the 16" snake boot with a neoprene snake guard; the RKS0717 is the 6" ankle boot with pull loops.
