ROCKY Men's Alpha Force Composite Toe Waterproof Public Service Boot

I bought these on a recommendation from one of my customers who was a retired retailer of tactical goods (including Rocky boots). I usually get Danner, but they were out of stock of my usual boots, so I decided to try Rocky. The good: * They looked extremely sharp when new (one of my coworkers noticed them the first day because they were so spiffy) * The tread provides great grip in all conditions I've tried. * The weight is good. * The waterproofing seems good. * The composite toe and leather upper seem to be solid and durable. * The price was reasonable. The bad: * The EE toe box is narrower than what I'm used to. I've adjusted, but the first few days were uncomfortable. * I'm used to having hooks on the ankle portion of the boot. These have eyelets, which means tedious tightening of the laces when putting the boots on, and tedious loosening when removing the boots, and this is necessary to limit the sliding of my heel in the counter of the boot. * The boots are extremely stiff, and the padding in all areas is only adequate. * No loop at the back of the collar to assist in donning the boots. * The same deep monster tread that provides great traction also provides deep grooves that hold onto mud and debris from outside. The tread blocks also make it difficult to don shoe covers when entering homes. * I don't expect these to last more than a year. My usual boots typically last 2-3 years and are more comfortable over the entire life (including straight out of the box). Overall, I'm glad I gave these a try, but probably will not purchase them again. If your foot shape is different than mine, they may fit better. If your job requirements are different, some of my complaints may not apply to you. If these last for the year that I expect them to, I'll consider to have gotten my money's worth.

Just bought the black Alpha Force 6 . I owned the Coyote color for a least 10 years but you discontinued them. Please bring back to production they are awesome and so comfortable I enjoyed wearing them casually. Great boots that last a very long time . Bring back the Alpha Force 6 Coyote!

One of many folks in law enforcement who swear by these boots, especially patrol. They hold up really well to everything you run into out there. The weight takes a few days to get used to if you normally wear lighter boots but these hold up much better over time. Well worth the investment, great product!

I work at a highly industrious job where protecting you feet is a must also working outside they have to be waterproof. i go thru metal detectors(body scanners) daily so the composite toes are a must or you gotta take your shoes off at the scanner & put them in the gray tubs (big pain). I haven't wore any other work boot since i picked up a pair of Rocky Alpha Force Composite Toe waterproof public service boot. I must have ordered roughly 8 pairs to date. My feet will not let me wear anything else

I used to really love this boot they changed the material they are trash now. DON'T LAST! WILL NOT PURCHASE ANYMORE!!!!

I bought these a few months back. Something changed i can no longer wear them. i think i had about a week worth of use i am very disappointed. i have been buying this style of boot for years with no issues. I have 6 pairs on hand and none of them ever never gave me any issue. i will never purchase these again. I don't ever give a review unless it is warranted. This was warranted. Finally i receive 2 different size shoe laces with these boots. Someone was having a bad day when they put these items in the box. Thank you for you time have. Be safe out there.

Great work boots. Awesome look and fit and very comfortable

I bought these for work but they r so comfortable I've been wearing for walking the dog as well. Good for the whole day and they r light which I appreciate. I've never had any issue with wet feet as the water proofness (?) Is excellent. Had them for over a year and I'm quite happy with the durability. Overall I'm quite impressed - exactly what I wanted. Looking to buy the jump boot next for warmer weather

I’m am a firefighter and these are the best boots I have ever had. I am not nice to them and don’t treat them well at all. With that being said they hold up better than any other boots I have tried to use. I wear they every day at work and they are comfortable right out of the box and last for years which is impressive for what I put them through at work. I am on my 2nd pair in 7 years of service.

I'm very happy with my boots thank you I'll be back to purchase again
