Rocky Alphaforce Zipper Composite Toe Duty Boot

strap

but on zipper is hard to unzip and there is not much cushion had to get inserts for them

Not made for quick on\off
Factory laces are substandard, and  frankly, cheap.

The side zippers are next to useless unless you've no ankle bones to speak of.

The problem is the left boot's zipper and ankle.

The zipper seemed stiff when I first got it and over time has degraded, the only way I can get it to zip is used two hands, one to pull back the inner rubber of the boot lining and other to pull up the zipper, it looks like the rubber was mis-cut and is getting ripped and shredded by the zipper.

but it is annoying to spend 5 minutes getting the zipper up on my boot.

First one snapped after 3 months, next one lasted about 6 total; I replaced with some Kevlar shoe laces which have held up on the right perfectly,

For perspective, I expect my boots to last at LEAST 2+ years, I wore desert storm combat boots (the original, not the new zipper ones) for 7 years before finally retiring them for these when they literally fell apart on me (back ankle broke through, bottom of the right boot came off multiple times, and my heels had worn through to the plastic bottom of the boot, no padding left at all, as well as 2 pairs of para cord shoe laces).

My recommendation after reading other reviews would be if there is anything wrong with either boot, return it immediately and get a new pair, seems the zipper problem is somewhat common of a quality control issue, had I known I would have returned them the day I got them for a pair that didn't have any issues to start with, then maybe I'd get 18 months out of them.

heel

When I first got them the heel tore up my feet


The boot fits uncomfortably tight at the heel for the first 6-7 days of wearing it.

but now my heel rubs and is bleeding by the end of the week.

Another issue I had with the boots was the heel.

The heel on the inside of the boots is hard plastic with no soft lining at all.

Your heel is basically rubbing a very hard plastic surface every  time you take a step.

It was shredding my heel, and I was only wearing them for an hour.

damage

The back of my heal rubs against the back and in just a few months it's ripped away the padding.

Other minor problems is the back of both boots have a slight foam type coating around them which is starting to peel off, mostly from me kicking my boots off instead of totally unlacing them and pulling them off with my hands, hard to fault them to heavily for that.

plastic

wear

I could not wear them for more than an hour or two, and that was mostly sitting in a truck driving around in march.

walking

Awesome shoes
These are by far the best boots I have found on here they are way more sturdy the the others brands I have bought on here and the sole seems to be holding up well to bike riding and my every day walking.

The soles conform to my feet making for a comfortable walking boot.

heavy duty

The Alphas are super light weight, affordable, the zipper is heavy duty and convenient, they're extremely comfortable, and durable.


These boots seemed like alright quality, The side zipper was heavy duty and worked quite well.

comfortable

They have been very comfy, nice squishy sole, I have dropped Diesel, Gasoline, Battery acid, Welding slag and Hydraulic oil on them and still they are in decent condition.

They are sharp looking boots, comfortable and affordable.

The factory insoles are surprisingly comfortable, supportive, and don't slide all over the inside of the boot.

Once it loses up it becomes a very comfortable boot.

Great traction in the recent snow and ice here and very warm for my feet

durable

That being said, they are sturdy, break in quickly, and despite an aggressive tread, allow quiet movement.

As of now they have last 7 months and foresee them lasting another years easily.

purchase

1 year ago yesterday I bought these boots $91 good price compared to todays $120 which is starting to be in the Georgia boot, Chippewa, and Timberland Pro brand pricing.

(It being support, comfort and longevity) Buy the boots!


I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I usually wear and the fit was great.

Merrell mens Jungle Moc loafers shoes, Beige Classic Taupe, 11.5 US

synthetic-leather

Scuffed up suede, glue mark and way too loose around ankle.

The suede is stained and there are glue marks.

stretchy

The shoe is really loose around the ankle and feels like it’s going to fall off with every step.

had to return/exchange

expensive

but I think the full asking price is too high and more to do with the Merrell brand hype - they are manufactured in China (as are many other leading brands)and for the full price would expect more expensive (not always better quality!!

Best shoes
These shoes are great for those who have trouble walking or pain issues in feet or legs.

but rugged enough to go walk in the dirt.

I have had knee repair twice so a soft cushion sole is good for walking.

These are my go to shoes for walking and the Merrell quality on all their shoes are top notch.

Very convenient "slip-on"and light weight - can take a full days walking about town or a full day at the Art Studio doing "practical" stuff.

These Merrill’s have a heavy duty sole that grips my pedals.

great
there arent too many shoes you slip your feet into that you  say "oh i like them"..these i did..nice tight fit


Previous identical pair fitted like a dream, still do 10 years on!

New pair fit like a dream, hope they last as long, tremendous shoes.

By the way the shoe was a shoe, it fitted, looks good etc.

Great shoe at a good price
I purchased this product for riding my bike.

I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would order them again.

Would certainly recommend them (providing they are not purchased at full price)! !

They're very comfortable, support well, and go well with jeans (which I mostly wear).

These are so comfortable and soft and the roll heel
These are so comfortable and soft and the roll heel.

Kamik Men's Icebreaker insulated winter boots

size

Huge on the outside; tight on the inside
Size 10 is 13.5" long and 15" to the top of the liner (17" to the top of the fabric gator - that's the top of the calf).

And these feel quite tight (I'm size 10.5) - it's all that 15mm insulation.

Either the liner will have to compress or you'll need to size up.

weatherproof boot

Needless to say these will be returned and we will have to invest in a boot that will last him the winter.

He wore them for one shift with a temperature of 30F (no snow or mud) and his feet were cold.

but are good to be aware of: I need to wear high socks with these otherwise a short sock will fall under my foot after some walking AND the top edge rubs uncomfortably against my legs.

vacation

uncomfortable

However, I’ve had several stints since owning these boots of being outside for 3-4 hours straight with temps in the mid to upper 30s while walking around in standing water, muck, and slush and my feet have had no complaints!

If you’re used to walking around in snowboard or ski boots, you’ll feel right at home.

Boots is nice and flexible so it's easy to walk in.

These have a certain curve to the sole that makes them easier to walk in,

Overall i'm happy with the boots
Heavy duty boots.

boot

"You’re hard-pressed to find a boot at this price point that will satisfy its purpose better."

After having owned these boots for a few weeks now, my one-line review is as follows: Insulated and steel-toe for significantly under $100.

I’m convinced you’d be hard-pressed to find a boot at this price point that will satisfy its purpose better.

If you’re like me and you have the luxury of being in and out all day long at work, I think you’ll be happy with these boots.

That being said, I was shockingly comfortable those first two days in these boots!

Fantastic Boots
Hubby and I run a dairy farm.

The boots have held up very well to tough use.

They get the best traction on ice of any boot we've ever had.

but they’re very comfortable otherwise so that helps (more on that next).

I live where temps get to as low as -40 C and these are still so warm.

They keep our feet toasty warm - anything much above 30 and they're too hot.

Super warm, very comfy, waterproof, and tough and not bad looking either.

slippery

When I slid my foot in the first time I was amazed at how hugged they were by the liner and how soft they were all around.

xmas gift

product defective
I purchased this work shoe for a Christmas gift.

xmas

waste money


had pain in my feets after wearing for 10 days thought it would go away not worth buying such a expensive shoes waste of money better buy cheap once instead of these onces

Lightweight and pretty comfortable
Shoes are light and feel comfortable walking around in them.

My job has me walking a lot and at the end of the day my feet are still good as new ;-).

but I clean them and spray heavy duty waterproofing silicone on and let that dry thoroughly, then I spray scotch guard on them and they stay mostly dry, and they still look great.

work shoe

The recipient has owned a pair of these work shoes previously and no problem with them.

Perfect work shoes
Are sturdy work shoes without the heaviness of a work boot.

These are THE MOST comfortable work shoes i've ever owned, by far.

Great shoes
Like the shoes have all ways worn the six inch high boots and wanted to try these and they are great for me can wear them for 14 hours a day no problem.

Northside Men's Phoenix Sandal

sole

Only downside it took me about a year to get used to them, as they are not cushioned.

There is a padded section on the heel that almost instantly went flat from wear and I don't think they added much comfort to it.

The foam outer sole seems softer than I would have like

small-size

pain

but the edges are so hard the can hurt your leg if you put your leg onto!

outer sole

GOOD: The foot beds have held up well after about 3 weeks of walking around on wooden floors.


These slippers are heavy duty, they are solid and firm.

The shoes arrived on time and the shoes fit perfectly.

Perfect
As long as my dog doesn't destroy them they should be perfect

Worth the money
I bought these for my son to walk around in snowy/wet New York.

They look nice, feel nice, and for some reason came with really warm socks (they were huge for me

The boots have proven to shield the cold and water, are comfy and look good.

Fabulous dog walking boot while they lasted.

Great Shortie Boot
Wife and I both have Muck Chore boots and they can be a chore to slip on for a 30 sec walk outside.


Great outdoor boot for extream cold conditions.

so far these boots seem like they are going to do the job!

Waterproof, comfortable and easy to get on and off.

Memo Monaco Children's Corrective Orthopedic AFO Sandal

Yes seven years old and is used to wearing typical shoes and so she did not like the look of them.

They are durable shoes designed to support walking and foot development.

Heavy duty shoes
This sandals fit very good and really good material very good

choice

Memo shoes ARE THE BEST orthopedic shoes in the market, hands down #1 , the three models I chose for my daughter fit her exact right, she likes them and feel comfortable in them.

They have a wide variety of designs to choose from.

I know I can't go wrong if I'm choosing them.
