I am buying a second pair. I owned this pair for just over two years and used them as my everyday footwear. Not a lot of distance, I am retired but do some farming etc. The tread still has a lot left, just to give you an idea. Yesterday boot became very uncomfortable with something rubbing against my achillies tendon, not a big deal, was mostly on the tractor and thought it was just a stick or something in the boot (I was clearing brush). Put the boot on this morning, took three steps, and immediately took them off. The plastic that molds the heel broke, if this had happened anyplace where I didn't have an alternate pair of boots I would have been toast. Overall, good comfortable boots but don't know if I would trust them if I was still an active duty Marine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***B on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 22, 2023* They are great so far. A little tight in the toe area but I believe I'll wear them in really well and should be ok. Also double socked up just to help wear them in and not hurt my foot too much. They are comfortable so far walking with security.πŸ‘ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little tight in the toe box but a good quality boot so far *by Z***L on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 10, 2022* I've bought several versions of the typical side-zip duty boots. I usually get them at one of the big-box stores (the one that begins with a Wal and ends with a Mart, if that matters). I usually get about a year out of them before they're too trashed to wear, though some have been a little better or worse.I don't work these boots very hard. I typically wear them to work, which involves walking on polished concrete floors and carpet. I don't sit all day but I'm not on my feet a ton either, so inexpensive boots tend to crack or come apart well before the soles wear out.After the last pair of inexpensive boots I bought gave up the ghost in 4 months, I decided I would buy a better quality pair. My requirements were pretty simple:-Side-zip so that I could slip them on/off easily-Water resistant enough to walk through puddles and snow. I don't need to be able to stand in a stream.-Lining-- I've worn unlined boots before and they're OK, but I prefer a little padding and insulation.I really wanted to try a pair of the Bates side-zip paratrooper boots, but they're not waterproof, are unlined, and cost almost $170 as of this writing. I wasn't in love with the giant lugs on the treads of the Rocky boots, but they checked all the requirements I had so I decided to try them.Right out of the box, the build quality and fit/finish of these boots is significantly better than the less expensive alternatives. One of the best features of this type of boot, in my experience, is that they are comfortable out of the box and break in easily. These are no exception. They felt comfortable from the moment I put them on and have gotten more comfortable as they wear in.The toe box area is a little tight, especially considering I bought a half-size larger than I needed, but not bad. I usually use an aftermarket insole with my boots but I cannot with these due to the tight toe box. Maybe they'll loosen up a bit, but even if they don't they are comfortable enough as-is.They're waterproof and insulated enough for my needs. My feet stay warm and dry when walking through puddles and on cold days, though I haven't hiked through snow with them yet (and probably never will). I did take them on a short hike through the woods and they have plenty of traction.I haven't polished them yet but it looks like the leather will take a nice shine.My only reservation about these boots is the appearance of the giant tread lugs that stick out of the sides of the soles. I have to wonder how much of that is an actual attempt at more traction and how much is a "look at me" tacti-cool design decision. But everything else about these boots has been pretty good and I consider them a very good value at the current price of $99. I'll update once they get a few more miles on them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10181425-mens-alpha-force-zipper-waterproof-public-service-boots](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10181425-mens-alpha-force-zipper-waterproof-public-service-boots) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
