ROCKYOriginal Ride Lacer Waterproof Western Boots

These boots are very good. They resist damage and water, you can walk for miles in them, not too heavy. Only issue is the time it takes to break them in-which is common with any type of quality working boot like this. It was painful for about a week and a half, especially on the ankles. The insoles also have a hard arch support material and may need to be replaced if you have flatter feet.Overall, a good boot that has already held up well after 4 months of walking at least 5 miles a day for work. Zero discomfort after the break-in period. I fully expect them to last for at least a couple years the way they’re holding up now. Cheaper boots tend to already be showing signs of wearing down by this point.

Arrived in one day, heavy leather, well made boot. Should hold up well.My only complaint is the Rocky insoles, they are hard and have a high arch, made the boots too tight. Removed the insoles and they fit perfectly.

I've always been certain of purchasing Rocky boots and knowing the fit and durability can't be beat. They're made with quality and hold up better than any other work boots with the proper care. Now that I'm retired it's a comfort to know I can trust my Rocky's to fit well and get me through my projects with ease. My size 10.5 med wide was exactly true to fit. Hopefully they will last almost a decade like my last pair. "ROCKY"....The Best on any foot. ( This review was not coached or paid for in any way )

I’ve worn Rocky Alpha Force boots daily for 13 years about 12 hours a day and could not be happier with them. So when my normal everyday wear boots wore out, my first go to we’re these boots. I ordered the same size as every other Rocky boot I’ve worn for 13 years. However, this size 11 ran more like a size 12 in my opinion. While the half size too big will not force me to send them back, a 10.5 would have fit me much betterIn regards to the boot, I’ve only had them a week so long term durability is still up in the air. I typically get 1-2 years out of boots with almost daily wear so we shall see. Please beware, these boots are stiffer than molasses is January. Which is fine with me, I’m breaking them in with thick socks and wearing them around the house, out side to the mail, around town, etc. the trick is to wear them as often as you can. DO NOT expect to get these bad boys in the mail and go hiking or working a full day outside and expect everything to be right as rain. Like a fine wine or love making, these boots require some time and attention to get it right.Material seems durable enough, but I can see how others noticed the dyed leather color fading over time. Personally, I think this adds character to the boots over time. The color on mine has a light to medium brown tome fading into a darker chocolate tone leather as it progresses up the tongue area of the boot. When it comes to pants, they make boot cut pants for a reason. If you wear tight ankled pants/jeans the ankle of these boots will make it look like your stuffing 10 pounds of trash into a 5 pound bag.

These are by far the best work boots I've ever purchased. They are more comfortable, rugged, and lighter than the Carolinas and Redwings that I have worn in the past. Cheaper too! Definitely worth a try!

I've worn this same style boot by Rocky for years. They were always comfortable right out of the box. I knew something was wrong when I received them without tags or even a box. These boots came in a sack with no ideal where they even came from. I've tried to wear them but finally gave up. I've never had a pair of boots this uncomfortable, I would not give you $5.00 for ten pair. What a waste of $150.00. DO NOT BUY THESE BOOTS

very comfortable boots

rocky boots are the best, the fit right out of the box with no break in period at all needed. have purchased before and would again when needed. you can pay more but you can't buy better.

I ordered a pair of 11 W, as I normally wear a 10 to 11 wide, depending on the make, so I ordered a little larger, expecting to wear thick/wool socks. Unfortunately, these fit quite long for an 11, more like a 12 for length, and narrow for a 'wide' size. Also unfortunate, Amazon does not carry a 10 wide for me to exchange (I would bet the leather would stretch to accommodate width).That said, these boots are excellent quality (fit, finish and feel). I wish my size was available because the quality is evident in hand and rare in footwear these days.
