Men's Rocky Alpha Force Waterproof Public Service Boot

I work Armed Security for the Government and these are standard issued boots. The boots are somewhat comfortable, the materials hold a lot of heat and moisture so I would not recommend these for the summer months unless you're planning to change socks frequently. The rugged construction of the outsole also takes some breaking in and I can't call them flexible. The outsole is quite bottom heavy and very clunky. I work in the south east where it doesn't snow so the outsole shape and lug size I would consider to be overkill and quite uncomfortable over a long shift specially, if you are standing for most of the shift. The quality of materials seem OK considering the boots waterproof construction. If you are looking for a lightweight, breathable option, this is not a suitable option. I would much rather go with an option from under Armour or even Nike or Bates. I cannot say I would purchase these boots with my own money if I had to. As a standard issued boot, they are simply OK. There are a lot better options out there that are lighter, more breathable, and a lot more comfortable overall. If you live in the north east or Midwest, where you work in a lot of snow and or rain, these would be a more suitable option because of their features. However, I will completely skip past these if you live in the south east. The outsole is simply two rugged and botchy for patrol work. Not sure what the offset drop is from heel to toe but I would skip these.

Feet over heat. Winter time very nice, too warm for summer. I still like them. I have had other Rockyboots , 4, this is the only one I wear in winter.

Boots rub very big , I tried to return them back to Target but being that it was past the return window period and they came from a third party , I am out of 141.00 , spoke with several people and nobody was any help , I even asked can I get a gift card so the money could stay in the store and was told No !!! Target can’t get another dime of my money !!!

I wear these boots on EMS shifts and they are durable and comfortable.

nice boots but they need to use better glue on the finishes, in two weeks with a single rain they opened the toe.

They only lasted 2 years in my line of work. I'm a medium heavy transporter and they are great with lots of cushion but started to come apart on the sides after about 18 months. Will be buying again

The Boot is built well, but the ankle area is not the best fit. The boot chafes on the sides of the ankle no matter how lose or tight the boot is tied.

These would be perfect for the usps brothers and sisters if it were postal approved we need a good water proof boot please consider getting these on the list rocky boots. Help out the mail carriers

I bought these boots around December 1st 2019. I wear them only 3 days a week for work inside. Here we are after wearing them only 2 1/2 months and the shoe laces have already started to come apart. The right boot squeaks when I'm wearing them, and I'm sure the right boot is not far behind. I can't comment as to how waterproof they are because I don't work outside in them, but it does feel as though the insoles are made out of concrete.

One side of the boots came damaged and since my husband already wore them we didn’t try to exchange them

I have bought these boots because these has to be the best boots ever! These are my third pair in 6 years. I still have my older pairs, I just use them for yard work, garage stuff and hiking. I mainly use them for work and get a new pair about every 2 years. If you have not tried them, I highly encourage it. The first two pair were over a hundred dollars and this new price really helped.

These boots are comfortable, waterproof, and shine up nice. They run a bit narrow. I like these boots and will buy another pair.

I brought these boots about 3 months ago. Very comfortable, however; the right boot felt a little uncomfortable below the ball of my foot. I'm getting use to it but next time if it happens again I will exchange them. Great customer service.

I have worn a lot of boots in my time (63 yrs). I have NEVER found a boot that performs in all areas, ie comfort, durability, longevity, water proof. I have had my first pair for almost 2 years wearing them 5-6 days a week. I have now bought my 2nd exact pair. I will keep buying this boot until it is discontinued and or Rocky changes the design!

These boots are comfortable straight out of the box. The waterproof feature is a plus.

I have a pair of these boots for 15+ years, they are still waterproof. (I have never added any waterproofing to them. They are beat up a bit but still very wearable. I just bought a new pair. I hope these last 15+ years also. They are so comfortable I wear these boots everyday, as I did the last pair. (Which are still very wearable)

Been buying Rocky Boots for years. No other brand comes close for me.

This is my second time purchasing these boot. They are really durable and hold up well to all the walking standing and the everyday grind of police work.

Bought them for the ambulance and have been wearing them ever since. They're good for work, but also work great for mowing the lawn or other daily activities where you'll need some hefty foot protection.

I love Rocky boots but I dislike their cheap laces!! I always have to buy better laces. They start coming apart within the first week of owning them. I buy boots every year for work and every year I have the same problem!!
