Rocky Unisex Alphaforce Composite Toe Waterproof Work Boots, 6 in.

These are the best boots I've ever owned. They will last a long time - durable, well-made, quality materials. I'm going to Russia in the winter and these will take me anywhere I need to go!

I bought these on a recommendation from one of my customers who was a retired retailer of tactical goods (including Rocky boots). I usually get Danner, but they were out of stock of my usual boots, so I decided to try Rocky. The good: * They looked extremely sharp when new (one of my coworkers noticed them the first day because they were so spiffy) * The tread provides great grip in all conditions I've tried. * The weight is good. * The waterproofing seems good. * The composite toe and leather upper seem to be solid and durable. * The price was reasonable. The bad: * The EE toe box is narrower than what I'm used to. I've adjusted, but the first few days were uncomfortable. * I'm used to having hooks on the ankle portion of the boot. These have eyelets, which means tedious tightening of the laces when putting the boots on, and tedious loosening when removing the boots, and this is necessary to limit the sliding of my heel in the counter of the boot. * The boots are extremely stiff, and the padding in all areas is only adequate. * No loop at the back of the collar to assist in donning the boots. * The same deep monster tread that provides great traction also provides deep grooves that hold onto mud and debris from outside. The tread blocks also make it difficult to don shoe covers when entering homes. * I don't expect these to last more than a year. My usual boots typically last 2-3 years and are more comfortable over the entire life (including straight out of the box). Overall, I'm glad I gave these a try, but probably will not purchase them again. If your foot shape is different than mine, they may fit better. If your job requirements are different, some of my complaints may not apply to you. If these last for the year that I expect them to, I'll consider to have gotten my money's worth.

Excellent boots from an Ohio company! Love my Rocky’s!
