Men's Rocky AlphaForce Zipper Composite Toe Public Service Boot

Duck yea! Comfortable, lightweight, would recommend to anyone.

I have had these boots for a month. They are light weight and comfortable. The only problem is they squeak when you walk. I have tried cleaning the insole and baby powder and have not resolved the noise. That said they are not safe for a police officer. They bad guy will hear you coming.

Great Boots. Extremely comfortable. Not sure why you are requesting a "review of my new purchase". I bought them 5 years ago. Still in great shape. I use them in support of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

I had used Rocky AlphaForce Zipper Composite Toe boots consistently for work for about 10 years and was very happy with them. I purchased new boots almost yearly. Around 2021 I purchased a new pair and the right boot began to smell really bad. It was to the point I felt self conscious around coworkers. My feet never smelled "fresh and clean", but this was a new level of disgust, and it was only the right boot. After about a year, I replaced that pair with a new pair. The same thing happened only it was the left boot instead of the right one. After that second year of having one smelly foot, I switched brands and have not had that problem since. I frequently wonder if the problem was maybe Rocky switched to a different material supplier? Except for the smell, the boots were very comfortable and durable, and by far my favorite boots.

Out of the box, I loved the boot. It had all the features I wanted and they looked rugged. That quickly faded as they fell apart with daily use over a few months (mostly in an office environment, mind you). Zippers separated, seams tore open, the sole separated from the boot, chunks of tread broke off. I figured it was a defective pair so I ordered again. Exact same experience. I ended up tossing them and going with a reputable brand.

I used to love Rocky Alpha force ones. I’ve wore them for years, but the last two sets of boots I’ve had have fallen apart within the first six months of owning them two years ago The bottom of my boot completely peeled off. This last set of boots I’ve had the stitching completely ripped out of the back of the heel at the top of the ankle. I don’t know what’s happened to quality control, but it sure isn’t the alpha force ones that I grew to love and constantly buy

I've been buying and wearing these boots for 18 years. They are comfortable and lightweight. I will continue to purchase them. A couple suggestions for the composite tow model is to add shank protection and better arch support. I solve this currently by purchasing inserts.

I bought these for my police Academy. They hold a great shine.

Same great quality as the pair they replaced (2010).

I have had these boots for almost a year now they have been worn daily and still in great condition!! It is worth the money if you are looking for a great pair of daily active use boots.

I've been wearing AlphaForce boots for over 10 years now. These booths would last you 3-5 years easily. These are my 5th pair i believe lol. I have one for personal use, and two for work (black and suede brown). Theyre super comfy, i can walk or stand all day on these with no pain. These run a little tight tho. I usually buy medium, and when i bought these as "wide", they were tight and needed two weeks to break in.

Hello, sometimes long time customers take a little longer than others to find another brand..

I bought a pair of these 15 years ago while I was working at a collision shop. Between work, multiple winters and riding my motorcycles they are just now needing replaced. A great boot. Only boots I will buy for work or outdoor activities.

So I've been wearing these exact boots for several years now. I absolutely love them. What I'm not a fan of at all, and why only 4 stars, is I don't like how the switched out the button/leather over zipper rather than the Velcro. The Velcro wears out and stops sticking relatively quickly. Very cheap. Please bring back the button with leather strap.

I have worn these boots for 30 to 40 times at various lengths of time, they time varies from hours of use to half day plus all on my feet. Good boot for the price Good tread Great comfort Love jump boots, the zipper makes putting full size boots on a snap. Lighter weight than my other boots Cons. They are water proof.......they do not breathe and will get warm......so I have to wear specific socks. If they had mesh with air holes it would be a perfect boot for me.

I bought them thru my firehouse supplier. I have worn them 16hrs a day for a week straight. I have fallen in love the the ease of use and comfort these boots provide. These boots are extremely well built and the additional feature of the waterproofing is an excellent feature for the fire service members. Very satisfying to enjoy walking miles a day and over unfamiliar/forgiving terrain. These boots I can trust for anything at anytime.

My first pair back in 2011/2,(button zipper lock) were great. I can not rave about these enough. I still wear them from time to time. They are old, heavily worn, and beat to heck. I still wear them occasionally as I see no reason to throw them out. My second and third pair on the other hand(bought at the same time about 4-5 years ago)... both had to be warrantied(which was not an issue and Rocky took care of as quickly as possible). 1(Velcro side zipper lock, comp toe,WP) was defect out of the box, I didn’t notice. The second(pull on, comp toe,WP) had the leather upper rip from pulling them on about a month after I got them. Both of their replacements have had serious sole separation and have required several attempts at fixing this.This started about 3 years ago. My zipper pair is currently sitting out waiting for me to glue them again, the non-zipper pair I still wear a few times a week. I own several pair of boots and rotate daily so while they are older they may have the miles put on them someone with 1 pair puts on in about 6-10 months. I’d still recommend them and would still purchase them again if I could find a sale. These are seriously the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve ever owned. I just wish the production quality stayed on par with the original button zipper lock pair. For my original pair it would be 5 stars across the board.

I have been wearing this style boot for the past 15 years. I work outside as much as inside. As a road service tech for a forklift company, I travel to many places and many of them follow OSHA guidelines strictly. These composite toed boots meet all the guidelines. They are comfortable and last a long time. I wouldn't wear anything else.

Have been looking to buy new water proof safety toe boots for work. Im a LTL truck driver and we are required to have 5 inch or more safety toe boots for job. Already have a pair of rocky boots i bought 8 years ago and use them for casual use not work and they are great. Tried these on at a well known boot store in missouri and they felt pretty good walking around store . Didnt feel any rubbing or problems. Come monday 2 hours into doing my job which i walk alot and bend over it felt like my inside heel about inch up just to right of back of heel was beeing stabbed. Right boot felt great. Couldn't do anything about it i had to work. Took boot off several times wondering what is causing so much pain. The inside didnt feel any different than riight boot. Store wont take them back because they have a policy . If any noticable wear has happened you cant get money back. Everything else about the boots seem really good. When i got home from work my sock was stuck to heel from dried blood. I have a nickel sized wound with no skin and blood and puss now and limp now. My left foot is not shaped any different than right foot. Just disappointed at this point.

Bought these off one of the US military exchange sites, expecting US made goods for my uniform and clothing. First thing I see out of the box is "made in China". Only opted for these because I assumed less weight composite toe, instead of the official issue steel toe. Get what you pay for.
