Great boots! One small issue.

Would Recommend

Bought these about a month ago. Nice boots, very comfortable. My only real complaint is the zipper can get stuck on the inside material when unzipping.

Comfortable boot

Would Not Recommend

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.

Very Comfortable Boots

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...

Abysmal quality, consistently.

Would Not Recommend

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.

Not the same boot as the old boot hard pass now

Would Not Recommend

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

Comfortable and affordable work boots.

Would Recommend

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.

Best of the best.

Would Recommend

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.

The waterproof boots are warm.

Would Recommend

Great boots. Light comfy and seem to be of good quality materials and nice build quality. I picked up the waterproof version and didn’t realize they would be so warm. I like the boots and polish them as part of my morning prepare for work ritual. Only guy on site with polished boots. It’s my thing I guess. I’ll get the non waterproof version for the warmer weather. I’ll let you know how they work out for me.

Where did my favorite go?

Would Not Recommend

This is my 8th or 9th pair of RAF boots. The exact same boot purchased every time. This pair was purchased in the middle of Dec. 2023, worn everyday since and still won't break in. Still as rigid as the day I took them out of the box. I recently started wearing my worn out RAFs because they don't hurt my feet. What am I doing wrong Rocky?

Inside of boots already falling apart

I started wearing my new boots August 13th 2023, in under 2 months, the inside of the boot is falling apart and theirs a plastic heal piece that's poking through and cutting the back of both heals. I emailed rocky the other week and got no response from them. These boots didn't even last a full 2 months.
