Haven't worn them yet.

Would Recommend

I bought this set because I have a set at home that are so old that they started to crumble. I tried them on and they seem comfortable, but I haven't used them at work yet.

Very comfy. Durable.

Would Recommend

Purchased my pair 4 months ago and worn almost daily. Have worn them working in welding shop and various construction sites. To my surprise they're holding up very well. Lower material covering toe and top of foot is real and decent grade leather, whereas most other similar boots are mostly synthetic throughout the entire shoe. My boots have taken a beating and scuffed and cut and still holding up good. Zipper has large teeth and slides easy even a bind. For the price this is the best direc...

Update from last posting as ACOAsh

Would Not Recommend

I gave this a good review based on my original pair and the month that I had worn the new set. I purchased my boots in December and now in February the toe seams on both boots have started to peel away. I am no more rough on this pair than I was the last, and those lasted me three years. My toes also scuffed up way faster. It’s very disappointing to have my two month old boots look like my old pair.

Comfortable, dry, warm

Would Recommend

Ive worn mine for 3 years on my second pair and they are the best by far for comfort and bad weather I’ve been in downpours and snow stuck in a highway for hours and my feet are dry my feet also don’t hurt at the end of the day . After wearing them for about a week they mold tour your foot well and get better over time .

Only boots I wear

Would Recommend

I just purchased the Alfa force boots in tall, ankle boots and the Oxford shoe. Bought them to replace the same boots I already have. I wear them riding motorcycle, outdoors, hunting, or even out to dinner.

Worth repurchasing

Would Recommend

Originally purchased these as my first duty boots in 2018 and they were such a comfortable and all around great boot that I am replacing them with a new set. I work in Animal Control, which is really rough on duty gear. The waterproofing lasted for a while considering all the chemicals I use to sanitize, which can be fixed with a little scotch guard. Only felt discomfort on the first day. Once all the way broken in they feel like tennis shoes.

Not what I wanted

Would Not Recommend

This boot was my second choice. You kept pushing off my first choice until I had to finally break down and buy these. I have worn Rocky Boots my entire career. I have been disappointed in now my last two purchases. I will be looking for a different brand of boot next time.

Christmas present for my husband

Would Recommend

I ordered these last month and carefully hid them until Christmas day. My husband was pleased with his gift and said they're more comfortable than his Tims.

Very comfortable right out of the box

Would Recommend

I volunteer as a guard at a local national cemetery. These are the standard boot, they’re well made and are very comfortable right out of the box. Only minor gripe is that they’re difficult to spit shine. The surface of the leather does not hold the polish well.
