18 July 2008 | Source: just-style.com Rocky Brands Inc has been awarded two new boot orders worth $7.1m from the US military. The first is a $6.0m extension of a $6.4m contract awarded to Rocky Brands in July 2007 for Army Combat "Hot Weather" boots. Shipment of the boots is expected to begin in early 2009 after the initial contract has been completed. The second contract is for $1.2m for Rocky's S2V tactical assault footwear developed specifically for US Military Special Forces. These boots feature an outsole designed to stabilise the foot and reduce ankle rollover in sandy and rocky conditions. In addition, they are treated for flame resistance and have SuperFabric instep panels that prevent rope burn from rappelling and other military exercises. The first order for $500,000 is expected to be delivered in fourth quarter 2008.
