ROCKY Men's Alpha Force Zipper Waterproof Duty Boots - Tactical Military Work Boots for Hiking, Construction & Outdoor Activities | Slip Resistant & Comfortable Safety Footwear

Have had 4 pairs of these boots. My job gives us 50 dollars per year for a boot allowance and I buy a new pair every year whether I need a new pair or not. The boots that are 4 years old have been to hell and back. Between hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, working on the job or at home, they’ve impressed me. Makes me wish shoes had an odometer on them so I could see how many miles they’ve trekked. And only are missing an inch of stitching on the toe of the boot. Sadly that has compromised the waterproofing. Between walking on concrete all day to hiking in the mountains they are solid boots. Comfy too. I have had them ankle deep in water whether at work or play and the insides stayed dry. I also wear them riding my motorcycle and my dirt bike where conditions are harsh. The side zips come pretty stiff to zip up at first but then seem to break in with use.There are only two complaints I have about these boots. The first is the shoe laces wear out very fast. However I have never replaced a set of shoelaces on any of my 4 pairs. They just seem to wear quickly. Might sit down one day and replace all the laces on my boots with parachute 550 cord.Second complaint is not really the manufacturers fault. Due to the aggressive tread on the bottom (much like mud tires on a truck) they like to leave chunks of dirt and debris behind. So definitely not a boot you’ll wanna wear in the house.Other than that these boots kick ass. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve worn them for 5 years almost daily. That being said though due to the luxury of getting a $50 allowance for boots at work I do have a strategic rotation of wear for the boots so that they get broken in over time and I don’t have to break them in all at once and wreck my feet. But my first pair has been put through the ringer. I can assure you that. Buy them if you need a boot that can do it all and thank me later.
