Men's Rocky 8" AlphaForce SZ WP

I love these boots enough I am on my second pair. I am tough on boots at my job. I wear the soles out very fast jumping in and out of an ambulance all day and night. These boots hold up well and keep my feet dry. The zipper is great for the late night call outs. My first pair lasted about 16 months and they finally started to leak a little. No to the down side. I have had my new boots about 2 months and am now have the exact same problem as I had with my first pair. The leather flap that snaps over the zipper ripped right off on the left boot. My first pair of boots it lasted about 3 months. Now this one in two months. Not a problem on my right boot. I do have to order these boots in wide size even though every other boot and shoe I have I wear in regular size.

I AM ORDERING ANOTHER PAIR OF THESE BOOTS BECAUSE MY FIRST PAIR WORE OUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON MY MOTORCYCLE WHEN I HIT A DEER, AND I ENDED UP SLIDING DOWN THE HIWAY USING THESE BOOTS AS BRAKES AS I SLID DOWN THE ROAD AND I GROUND THEM DOWN A BIT SO NOW I NEED ANOTHER PAIR. THEY ARE ALSO NICE LOOKING AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AS I AM A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER SO I WALK ALOT IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER.

I love these boots. The side zip makes putting them on/ taking them off very easy. I purchased them mainly to use for fishing (trucking through mud, rocks, and shallow water) and they perform so well, I just hose them off when I get home, and continue wearing them all day. I do have to agree with another customer here, they do seems sized a bit on the small side. I have worn 11.5 boots for over 15 years now, and this was the first pair that felt tight, not uncomfortable, but enough that I will order 12's next time, although I think that won't be for a while.

I'm somewhat disappointed with these boots. Good traction. Good shock absorbtion. Easy on/off with side zipper. The disappointment come in 3 ways. 1.)Sizing seems to run a bit small. 2.)These boots aren't supposed to be insulated but they feel like they are. Too hot above 50-55 degrees. 3.)Not supposed to have saftey toe but feel like they do and I can't wear saftey toe boots. Generally, I'm usually pleased with Rocky boots but not this time.

They are like walking on two gaint marshmellows. The side zipper makes life a lot easier.

I am so happy with these boots, they are like walking on to gaint marshmellows. I love the aggressive look they have. The side zipper makes life so much easier after a hard days work.
